Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 2437008, member: 7597"] Not the point, it is a misrepresentation of the game and team. Every team has a game or two where they lose by 15 or 20 or 25. Most don't keep it close in those games. Uconn did. A team stays relevant, in part, with a passionate fan base. Not one that is ambivalent or unresponsive when the team is ignored in the first 4 games and misrepresented in the 5th. That is how a team builds a name brand, they do not allow themselves to be disrespected and respond when they are. Regardless of a down year here or there. That is how a name brand is lost, gradual continued increase of apathy from said fans. [/QUOTE]
