Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 204010, member: 27"] All kidding aside, UConn made a great comeback. Really a strange team to watch...at times they look capable of greatness, but also of some of the worst play imaginable. They must be frustrating as hell to watch as a fan. We have talked about this at some length on the SU board. You would think that with the achievements these 2 programs have had (and the coaches), this would be THE rivalry in conference and one that would be at or near the level of Duke-UNC. It never has risen to that level...seems whenever one team is really good the other is not. That has changed over the last say 5 years, when there have been a ton of great games that were also very meaningful and memorable. It is a shame for both programs and fanbases the rivalry will end just as it was nearing greatness. It is a major loss for Eastern basketball and college basketball in general. [/QUOTE]
