Uconn scored 55 points in the first QUARTER against St. Francis. That’s just wrong... but you can’t tell the girls to ease up.

Why is wrong? Like you said, you can’t just give them the ball and say “here, we don’t want to score so you can have it,”

He may or may not have meant it that way, but I'll put it differently - It is wrong - on many levels - that (choose 1) - a) there is a team in the NCAA tournament that is so inept as to give up 140 points
b) there is a team in the NCAA tournament (or WBB in general) that can score 140 when they are not trying to humiliate anyone - can you imagine if they tried to run up the score?
c) that, whether it is really true or not (last year it wasn't. but...), there is a team that can suck the hope out of every other fan base in women's basketball for a championship.

In that regard, it is just wrong.

It is also, FWIW, "wrong" in my mind that, in spite of some juicy upsets, all 16 top seeds, playing at home, have advanced to the 2nd round. While a few struggled early to get going in their games, I don't really think it was close. Can we please have some upsets in round 2?
 
Humiliating and embarrassing other teams - so much fun!
Its fun for Uconn fans and misery for every other team.Geno clearly is one of the best coaches of all time regardless of sport because of sustained domination of womens college basketball.
 
If it were Rutgers, not UConn, there would be an international outcry about how we are bullying and humiliating other teams. It would be on 60 minutes, all the news stations, and we’d probably get NCAA sanctions.
