I was rooting for Louisville.
EVIL! EVIL! EVIL!
UConn is the Yankees of women's basketball. I soo wish Maryland could have beaten them.

this season...UCONN, Baylor and ND...then the drop-off was quick and deep.

(78,249 posts)8. And you manage to hold on to your job how, exactly?
Being a Husky hater in CT would be kind of like the mayor of NYC being a Sox fan... oh, wait a minute...

(78,249 posts)10. I kid, I kid.
It's just that 99.9 percent of your readers are Husky fans. I do know of one other Husky h8r, up in Meriden.

(72,790 posts)11. 99 percent of the women's fans
are older than 70.
But at least they read the paper.

The way they played in the tournament...Baylor only had Griner, and when she was taken out, they had nothing.
