Kentucky down 5 to Florida with under a minute to play

Any year UCONN wins is a down year in WBB. That's a given. (at least in some parts of the country)

I thought that was the definition of "down year in wbb"?

Notre Dame will also have to play the ACC teams twice in many cases, possibly three times. Possibly even four times. If that ended up being Duke, it'd be a difficult proposition for the Irish.

With the new additions and a reduction in conference games from 18 to 16.... each team has two "partners" that they play home and home... and they play the other conference teams once. Of the leading teams... ND partners are Duke and BC. Maryland has Syracuse and GaTech.. UNC has Duke and NC State, FSU has Miami and UVA, NC State has UNC and Wake Forest.... and finally Duke has ND and UNC.

I think Duke beats ND in Durham, and loses in South Bend... with the rubber match in the ACC Tourney.

I do find it funny that posters are dogging the SEC when UCONN plays in the AAC. really?

Yup, cause one is brand new and is likely to improve and have the National Champion playing in it the next couple of years and the other is just the SEC.

Well, good for you. I find it funny that Tennessee just lost at hold to LSU.

We can all laugh together now...hahaha.

I thought Kentucky was one of the better teams I've watched play this year. They have a quick point guard who's a lot like Jefferson. She stole the ball from Jude Schimmel a couple of times. The scoring guard they have from NYC is pretty good too.

I really believe you are overestimating ND. They certainly can lose to Duke and I even think they could lose to Maryland.

if we're lucky...

Hey, we ain't the ones crowing about being the best conference, "hands down"!

On a more serious note - and this may seem like an odd analogy - it's like when a pastor or a priest or a 'traditional values/born-again politician" gets caught with their pants down. If ya preach purity, and get caught sinning, it sticks out more - just ask Jimmy Swaggart. If you boast, for years on end, that your conference is superior, and "ponitifficate" about it endlessly, well, when you're revealed to be fairly ordinary, it sticks out more.

Or, as somebody once told me: "the higher you climb the ladder, the better shot people have at yer ".
