It just makes one wonder why they even make Uconn play this game, really!!! Can't they just phone it in and all of us plebe Cardinal fans can be happy with just making it to the Final Four? It must stick in geno's craw that we've beaten him 5 out of 8 times. I will be in St. Louis and I fully expect to be rooting for Stanford in the championship game.
