Like alot of great historical duos, they needed each other. They were the perfect foils to ignite the growth in popularity of the game. And boy, were those games fun at their peak.

Absolutely. I remember going to one of my wife's company Christmas parties that was on the night of a UConn - Tennessee game. Half of the people at the party left the ballroom and went the bar to watch the game on the big screen.

This is true! They made each other better but that doesn’t take away Pats finger prints all over the game... Geno helped advance it to a more offensive game with more flow.

interesting half time statistics Indiana and VCU each scored 6 points in the second quarter and neither team has shot a foul shot.

Arkansas's defensive weaknesses are apparent also Old Miss has won its first two Wnit games

Not what Arkansas coach was thinking why not give the ball to Chelsea Dungee ? And that turnover by Barnum really hurt them. Arkansas takes the lead so why are you trying to dribble the ball give it to one of your guards.

I think SEC has won every tournament game so far-- but Arkansas rightly didn't deserve to advance. Wright State better team.

Beat UConn and lost to Wright State and some people argue that there is not parity in the WCCB.

That example does not constitute parity. Parity implies things are equal. There is nothing equal about the state of the sport, such as it is. And sure, Arkansas beat UConn -one of the 20 losses they've endured in the past decade. TWENTY. They've also won 356 games. That's 95%. That's not parity. There are not enough top tier recruits for there to be parity. More parity than in the past? Maybe. Maybe not. Would need to research that. I think an comparison of the men's and women's chalk would be a good start. But I'm already pretty sure it'll demonstrate the same thing - there's no such thing as parity in this sport. Not today anyway.

About the same parity as the men's game Stephen Austin lost in overtime and several games yet to come. BYU 11 seed also won over a higher seed. There are seven or eight teams that could win the National title that hasn't been true many years before this one.
