1. Isn't that astonishing? Good for the ladies.

4. Too bad it'll eventually get vacated for NCAA violations.

Namely, their star player's recruitment including UConn providing a house and a job for her mother.

2. Very good game

We watched the game tonight with a friend who is from Connecticut & of course he was proud as a peacock!

3. We get tickets to our local college Division I team -- it is, hands down, the best sports

ticket in town. Beats the primadonna whining men's pro teams any day. And it is very good for kids to see how incredibly good women's hoops can be.
