I'm glad other people have mentioned the misrepresented attendance last night. No way there were 3k open seats, no way there were less people there than Louisville.

I talked to a vendor who has worked at the civic center for 10+ years. He said the Cuse game was by far the busiest game of the year blowing past the Ville game.

Said he expects mondays, baylor, game to be the busiest game this year. He also told me he is surprised the women have drawn so well this year since they raised ticket prices and most games are over by half time.

Almost the entire upper section opposite the students was empty.

Ah, I couldn't really see that area, as my seats were literally above the ceiling.

The BE can bite me. I think WM should be saying "We are your best remaining team and instead of giving us a reason to look fondly on your dying carcass you bane us from the last BET where you are whole"? " You don't think UCONN making a statement in the BET is helpful to what is left of your once mighty conference"?

They are a joke - the NCAA is a joke and UCONN has not given fans a whole lot of reason to be confident they are doing the right thing.

Warde didn't say East Coast Gonzaga...Norlander did.

When did everyone fail reading comprehension?

yes I know! Norlander is out of touch and Warde needs to stay off the Twinkies!!

For your information I got the top score during my senior in high school for reading comprehension!

Mostly every poster has said this comment and now I'm going to be the next one to say it.

"Guess we gotta win the whole freakin' thing!"

Shalala is a great pick for these political times. I do love theNCAAs definition of corroborated though. I got a buck says Big Bill or Obama come out with a statement on this
