One other gripe:
About the only result to make ESPNUConn's airwaves and WBB homepage in the last few days (after "UConn Blows a Game" headlines which barely mentioned Stanford): the Huskies beating hapless Creighton by 36 points. Along with another episode of their season-long series about Geno Auriemma. Notre Dame's utter destruction of Holy Cross, or new #1 South Carolina's demolition of an occasionally good San Diego State team? Eh.
Again, all the caveats about Geno's a great coach, and UConn has the legacy of success to brag about. But I will never admit that such a history can be disentangled from essentially having a national network in your corner for 20 years.
