Two #1 seeds in the final. Very troubling.

Funny, but your school beat Wisconsin. So many examples like that this year which shows how far the women's game has to go to achieve more parity.

OT but does anyone else think Wisconsin's white horizontal stripes look like skirts or maybe inner tubes? I mean a couple of the women's teams were sporting this look and I thought they looked ok but they didn't bulge out like inner tubes.

That's this year's Adidas tournament special design. With some color combinations it looks worse than with others, but it always looks bad. On some it looks like a cummerbund. They call it their Made In March design.

Last year Adidas stuck its schools with "camo look" uniforms that looked like pajamas.

I'm so glad Notre Dame switched to Under Armour.

I like the ones UCLA men's team was wearing, they were white shorts with blue waist, I liked those better than the blue on blue. I was thinking about getting some, until I saw they were $65.

For anyone interested here is a picture of the white shorts with blue waist.

And here is a picture of the Blue on Blue.

Although now that I look at the picture, the blue on blue doesn't look so bad, but I still like the white ones better.

So why is the UAB player wearing two different type and color shoes? Was itdark in the locker room?

It's all a matter of personal taste, but personally I find the shorts on both of those UCLA uniforms to be hideous.

It looks like it may be a team tradition or something, here is a picture of UAB warming up for a game and all the players or almost all have 2 different color shoes on.

UAB wore two different shoes all season. It's part of a pediatric cancer campaign the team has been apart of this year.

Oh, I know. And I have no explanation for that game (not that I really pay much attention to RU men's basketball because, well, would you?).

That whole line of uniforms with the broad stripe like they're collectively showing their underwear should be burned.
