Don't hold your breath! We should take bets (or at least run a poll) on how many times we'll see a replay--with analysis--of the Flagrant 1 foul on KLS that (didn't quite) change the course of history. |
I'm hoping Doris ponders if UConn will have its first losing streak in 886 games, which will happen if they lose their opener (tOSU?) next year...
[midway through
Q2, scored tied at 11]:
"You know Dave, even MORE incredible than the 11 National Championships, the 10 straight final fours, the 111-game winning streak- and these are incredible in and of themselves and speak to the hard work, tirelessness, dedication and PURSUIT OF PERFECTION which define this program, but even more astounding is this statistic: [pause for emphasis] they haven't had a losing streak in 886 games!! They have not lost back-to-back games since March 1993! What do you think about THAT Dave O'Brien?! It's an amazing achievement and we have to wonder if the pressure of losing here in the semifinal will weigh on this team over the course of the summer and into the fall and become an impediment to their PURSUIT OF PERFECTION".
[Meanwhile, 2 fouls and a turnover have occurred, all unmentioned].
Can't wait to see what the espn hype machine will do with this in Nov.

November? Why wait?
What's the over/under on the amount of time spent talking tonight about UConn instead of the two teams actually playing in the final? If you think we aren't going to hear Doris blather on about Walker and Stevens and how shocking the loss was and how she said that if you're going to beat them it better be the year because they aren't going to lose another game for the next 25 years, blah blah blah blah blah. . . .
Good drinking game would be the number of times O'Brien calls the Miss St game the biggest upset in history. After all, the world needs to know that this was a total fluke and Miss St doesn't really deserve to be here. And it's Doris and Dave's job to get that message across loud and clear.
They also have TWO one hour pregame shows (ESPNU at 4, ESPN at 5) to fill. Which team will get the most airtime in those shows? SCar, Miss St or UConn?

Yea things need to change. UCONN should not still recieve the most pub in the tourney after the loss. Kind of a slap in the face to the 2 contenders tonight.

well, they've avoided having to talk so much by having a softball game run over into the time slot. They're probably madly trying to re-do the show so that it's not ALL about UConn. They probably had an hour's worth of special moments to recap about the huskies...now delving into the archives trying to find anything to show about MSU.

I didn't think they had the talent to beat UConn (and I still don't) |
My opinion is that UConn would beat Mississippi State seven or eight times out of 10, but this game wasn't one of those times. It happens, and should, and is interesting when it does. |

yeah, Vic actually implied something to that effect in the post game interview.

Had no idea Maria was so tall. Guess we always see her sitting. Did she play somewhere? It's fun to see her and Lobo towering over Landers.

Interesting conversation about Coates not being there.

My favorite line of the day so far comes from the South Carolina board. One poster wrote that he had almost forgotten Doris Burke was doing the game, to which another replied:
"She still picks UConn to win it all"
I must admit, I laughed.

That seemed like a late call on SC.

Another one of those if she makes it then no foul, but since she missed we'll blow the whistle calls...
