#1 UConn will face  #4 Alabama on Saturday, April  6. This is Alabama’s first trip to the Final Four.

One of the things that the NCAA must address is the wresting over the ball from the hands of the player who possess the ball. This  should be a foul for who ever starts it and  on those who participate. The penalty: unopposed two free throws with the ball going back to that team. I guarantee this will stop it, for both the men’s and women’s NCAA games. This is a basketball game not a wrestling match.
