Tuesday's National Championship enjoyed the best TV viewer ratings in a decade, as fans tuned in expecting to see a great, close match up.
What they got instead was a blow out. Not quite as bad as last year's title game, but close. The winner/butt-kicker in both cases was Connecticut.
No one is doubting that the Huskies are a great team, or that coach Geno Auriemma has an amazing system that works. But it's boring to see one team win over and over again, and it's a true let down to see one-sided championship games. Coaches and media in Nashville for the game were pulling hard for a close match up. Everyone came away disappointed.
For the sake of the game, let's hope that someone can challenge Connecticut. And fast.

Amen! Now let's just hope A'ja Wilson chooses any school not named UCONN next week.
I hate blowouts too, but I would add that lack of rivalry is worse as far as TV viewership goes. Had Maryland made it the ratings wouldnt have been nearly as high.
