Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4254708, member: 44"] Thanks for pointing this out. I fought the urge to post my initial reaction which was “We’re UConn. Every arena is our home court.” Now, that’s deliberate puffery, arrogantly stated, but it is largely true. Connecticut women’s basketball fans are as passionate as any in the country, and demonstratively more passionate than all but a few programs. For what it’s worth, I know you dislike the “T word“ but UCF has always had a reputation for physical play, and when we played in the same conference with them I felt there were instances where it surpassed aggressiveness and strayed into unwarranted physicality. But, last night, I felt they were tough, physical, and aggressive, but not dirty. I don’t have a problem with that. It’s up to the refs to control the game, which I think they did. [/QUOTE]
