The game wasn't even half over when the commentators were already criticizing the quality of play and slow pace of the NCAA Men's Championship Game. Do they have to remind us so quickly that it was the worst final since 1949? Give me a break. UConn still played better than Butler, and that's what counted in the 53-41 final. In sports, Connecticut often gets an inferiority complex, with divided loyalties between New York and Boston, the loss of an NHL team and the dashed hopes of getting the Patriots. In Eastern Connecticut, Dodd Stadium has been home to two other minor league baseball teams as we hope three's the charm. UConn men's and women's basketball has been the exception, gaining national prominence for years. We witnessed the disappointment on Maya Moore's face when the Lady Huskies lost to Notre Dame. Her record at UConn is phenomenal. We saw Kemba Walker become a sports celebrity in a brilliant season. UConn Basketball is one thing that every Connecticut sports fan can feel good about, year after year.
