my argument isnt that uconn was the wrong "play". meaning i can absolutely understand if uconn backers say that they would back the huskies again in the same situation if the game was replayed tomorrow. no doubt i can understand that.
but no way can i understand how uconn was the right side for their 40:00 contest that was just completed. they trailed the entire game, and with okafor in the 2nd half they STILL were losing the 2h straight up (duke increased halftime lead) until 3:00 left.
uconn is a championship team and big time teams never quit.
but for the final 30:00 of the game, uconn was covering for all of 3.2 SECONDS.
uconn is the better team. they could very easily win by 8-10 if they had a rematch tomorrow.
but on saturday night, they werent the right side. when okafor was in there- duke still led by 5-11 to whole 2h
i am actually glad to see a uconn/tech final as that is a little more appealing.
