What a mess in Louisville!

The UConn men were destroyed in Louisville on Saturday afternoon.  I am very happy I did not get the opportunity to watch it.

The defending national champions made some noise, playing at a higher level and hope to get back to the Final Four next month.

Kevin Ollie took full responsibility for the way his team played.  It was honestly embarrassing.  I am not sure if the loss against Houston was worst.  The Huskies were outplayed and outcoached.  I really hope the Huskies learn to play against zone and some pressure defense and learn some patience on offense or it will be a quick end to March.

Ollie was asked if he saw this coming and he said no.  As of fan, I saw it happening.  Last Wednesday, they struggled to beat Rutgers.  There were many times this season where they were lucky to win games.  Still it would be great if there was another consistent option or two besides Shabazz Napier.  And post play, including rebounding, is key.

UConn will play Memphis on Thursday night in Memphis in the quarterfinals of the American Athletic Conference. UConn will be the home team by seed, but Memphis will be playing on their home court.  The winner will most likely take on Cincinnati in the semifinals.

Finally, anyone else notice the happy music ESPN has during the 30 for 30 commercial on the Big East?  It is like they are happy they destroyed the Big East.  However, I did notice on the new Big East website, they control all the records and the AAC (which is technically the Big East before it was renamed the American) has nothing.  Sad to see the likes of Ray Allen, Emeka Okafor, 6 OTs and UConn's 2011 run controlled by a bunch of Catholic schools who purchased it. So is the Big East dead or just dead to ESPN?  Still want to know what UConn does with the Big East banners in Gampel Pavilion?
