2012 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship: Round of 64 Day 1 Afternoon
Connecticut doesn’t have their own channel this year. They’re still seeded #1 and there is no reason at all that they can’t win another Championship. On the other hand they only have to advance a single round to beat the boys and remind them who is the true Basketball power of Connecticut.
Realistically, wave goodbye to Prairie View.
All the action is on ESPN2, perhaps I’ll have a chance to wax poetic about the purity of the Women’s game later.

Tom Izzo is not a troll. I studied at MSU under Falcone who thought I was hopeless and was right about that. They held the service for my Uncle who got decapitated in a plane crash at the chapel. Funny story that, they mis-identified the body and sent it off with another family. When they got down to the bits and pieces they had a rib and a scrap of lung. “Did your husband smoke?”, they asked my Aunt. “No.” “Then this is not him.” When they finally got it sorted out they didn’t want her to view the body which was kind of funny because she was a biochemist working in oncology and had seen any number of cadavers.
