Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 2033648, member: 591"] I still think the "good for the game" issue is a false narrative. As UConn writes more and greater records, it brings attention from folks who are not particularly women's basketball fans - although I fear many of them are neither interested in, nor likely to become one. Likewise, it is good for UConn. And additionally, it is true that watching a UConn game might inspire young athletes, provide examples for other coaches and show fans what a first rate team can do. However, for fans of other teams, I am sorry to tell you, but the feeling is often that the results are preordained. And it does take the enjoyment out of it, knowing that your team's chance of beating UConn is so limited. Do you all remember the NCAA game where Rutgers had a lead on UConn in the 1st half and lost in the 2nd half. Sadly, that was the expected result, even as the game was going on to us Rutgers fans. The better team won. In that aspect of it stinks for those of us who root for teams that are or were at some point good enough to think about making a run at the NC. [/QUOTE]
