After the UConn men’s team bowed out from the NCAA Tournament in an elaborate, low-scoring protest over food quality, the women’s team steamrolled into the Sweet Sixteen for the 89th consecutive year (approx.).
The pod starts with with about 29 minutes of WBB including the so-fucked-it’s-almost-impressive levels of misogyny on display by the NCAA. Then we talk Paige Buckets being the best player in the UConn/Iowa game (and Aaliyah Edwards being the second-best), Evina Westbrook’s contributions and if we’re afraid of Baylor.
Then we memorialize the men’s team, discuss what went wrong vs. Maryland (almost everything!) and evaluate our personal feelings about the season as a whole.
We also look ahead to next year, wonder if Kimani Young might’ve coached his last game at UConn and let ourselves be dunked into a paste by a gigantic Bristol, Conn. youth.
Runtime is about 72 minutes and, as always, this pod has explicit language.
