Message: [QUOTE="connie, post: 2119141, member: 7882"] Thanks! Tied to the execution, it is the drama of the competition that drives the experience. Even yesterday, the Bruins kept hanging close (though, based on the chitchat by the commentators throughout most of the fourth quarter, you may not have known that there was a Sweet 16 basketball game going on). I think we've all seen enough to know that no lead is ever safe, that anything can happen. The Bills taught this lesson in a 1993 wildcard game against the Oilers, coming back from a 35 to 3 deficit with about 8 1/2 minutes left in the third quarter, scoring 28 points in slightly seven minutes, and winning in OT. And wasn't it New Mexico that came back from 14 points down with a minute and a half left in an NCAA tournament game about eight or nine years ago, with, what was it?, 9 3-pointers in the final two minutes of the game? This sort of thing can happen to UConn, just easily as to any other team. That's what makes it fun. And it is why we play the games. [/QUOTE]
