The Big Game:
Connecticut pulled away from Notre Dame for a 72-61 win.
As I tweeted after the win, I suppose now the "don't hate, just get better" and "if you don't like UConn, you don't like basketball" chatter will begin again soon. Words can't express how bored I am with that line of thinking and all the yammering that goes with it.
In the meantime, UConn coach Geno Auriemma apparently said in the post-game press conference that they had to "knock the California out of Katie Lou Samuelson" to get her to play their way. And UConn fans wonder why Auriemma offends so many people.
I'm glad that Washington coach Mike Neighbors didn't try to knock the California out of Kelsey Plum, because she's the nation's leading scorer. Again.
More results, including some milestones:
In #12 Ohio State's 108-73 rout of Southern, Kelsey Mitchell became the fastest player in NCAA history to reach 2,000 career points.
A big fourth quarter gave Kansas State it's 900th win, as they beat UT-Arlington, 62-49. The Wildcats are 9-0.
#25 Virginia Tech is 9-0 after downing Central Connecticut, 81-47.
It was Iowa's turn to rule at home, as they beat Iowa State, 88-76.
#20 Syracuse 76, Coppin State 30.
Texas Tech 84, Houston 60
BYU 73, Weber State 64
North Carolina 75, Marshall 53
La Salle 58, Penn 56
St. John's 65, Rutgers 39
American 66, George Washington 61
All scores.

This is disappointing, and confusing. Can you please illuminate me and explain why the "California" comment regarding KLS is considered so offensive? Do you actually know what he meant by this?
If you fail to comprehend how that comment could be insulting, I don't know what to say to you.
Wow, a condescending non-answer to my earnest question. I guess I'm shut down. Thanks for the dialogue.
(I just noticed that you posted the article on KLS. Sorry for not having noticed that before sending my earlier message.)
I'm always fair, Paul C. I publish every relevant WBB news link, regardless of what team it is about. And even when some of the quotes therein are offensive and rude, like Auriemma's comment.
I'm an old-school journalist.
