Ok, I’ll bite. WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU THINKING GIVING NOTRE DAME AT 30 – 3 A #1 SEED AND SNOOTING UCONN AT 31 – 2?! Bless your hearts (which you’ll recall refers to someone with an Oedipal Conflict in Dixie)!
I haven’t been following Notre Dame so I just figured they were 32 – 1 or something like that. UCONN KICKED THEIR ASSES THIS SEASON! Seriously, UConn 89 – Notre Dame 71, you could look it up and I encourage you to do so.
Muffy McGraw can’t get booted soon enough for my taste. We lost to Louisville (in our Region) and Baylor. That’s it! Blah, blah, blah parity. Time to let my freak flag fly!
Oh, I have more where that came from. UConn is safely through (though awkwardly placed) beating Towson 110 (yes, that’s right, 110) to 61. Must have been a bad night on Defense, Geno should talk to them about that.
Louisville on the other hand was only able to eke out a 35 point victory over Robert Morris, 69 -34 (to be fair they did double up).
Grrr…
