I agree, but I'm a UConn fan and am obviously biased.
I think the bottom line is if you want exciting, close basketball games you essentially hate the Huskies, but if you like high-quality basketball, then there is no one better.

Any coach who really can coach, has talent and has the appropriate system, will win IF THEY DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH PARENTS!!!

My adult son, who has enjoyed watching some games with me, was here today and even tho he likes the ucon team he said to me "you know they are going to win, I can't believe you're watching". My response to him was that I like to watch them play because I enjoy the way they play and how cool they play. It is neat to watch a team that plays so well.

Kara is now the Sarah Palin of basketball. Those of us who are bored by UConn's dominance are not "real" basketball fans?
I'm certainly not saying UConn should do anything differently and they are clearly the best team in the country. But I find blowouts to be quite boring. Stanford's blowout of Georgia was much the same.

Totally agree... there's one word for watching UConn this season... BORING!
I'd much rather watch a competitive game anytime.

I'm starting to think that Stanford-UConn would be the only National Championship game I'd look forward to (with the exception of maybe Nebraska) - It would be a fantastic finale. A Baylor-UConn Final Four game would also be intriguing. (Forgive me if I don't mention Puke)

I have to respectfully disagree. I don't think most people of any sport sit around and watch blowouts unless it's their team doing the blowing... err... well you know what I mean.

But it's worth wasting your time complaining about it?

Complaining about it is more interesting than watching it.

Perhaps you should be less concerned how I use my time since you are spending yours telling me what to do with mine.

I'd rather watch a close game like the FSU/Miss St game any day. Or even the sloppy but highly entertaining UNC/Gonzaga game.

Yes, it is fun to see a team play with precision and excellence, but UConn makes other teams look like middle schoolers on a nightly basis. I'd much rather watch TWO excellent teams play each other, instead of UConn beating a team by 40+. Not to mention, a casual fan flipping through the channels will not care to watch UConn slaughtering one sacrificial lamb after another.

I agree, but I don't think they are gonna stop and watch Miss. St vs. Florida St. either.
