UCLA led by more than 10 points for most of the 2nd half. UCLA was up, 94-80, with just 1:36 remaining until UConn's Doron Sheffer (24 points) got hot and helped his team slice the lead to 100-94 with 17 seconds left. UConn got no closer.

Against UConn in the Regional final Edney hit a last second 40 foot 3 pointer at the halftime buzzer to change the complexion of the game, but it was only halftime. Just an FYI:

We still think there's too many up-and-down performances there, although clearly Arizona is an elite program. Zack: UConn has had some tough losses in the NCAA, that's for sure. Still would have like to have seen a couple more F4s out of that program (06 for certain). Nogales:

Arizona is certainly in some elite company. With more games under their belts are only Duke, NC, KY and KS. Try selling winning percentage to a 5 Star recruit sometime. Games carried on National TV, with a good opportunity to snag an NC, and a much better than average opportunity to eventually play in NBA or professionally elsewhere is what they buy. Bear Down!

Look at who they lost to in the second round, eventual national champions Duke, UCLA, North Carolina, Maryland, etc. UConn played very close games against these teams (Laettner's last second shot, Edney's last second layp, Maryland's eking out a win) so, there it is. Count UConn's Final 8s, and I think they've done just as well as anyone. It’s no secret why UConn hasn’t made more final 4s.

There always has to be somebody to jump on the anti-uk bandwagon. Don't you guys ever get tired of picking on us? Probably not, since we, uk fans, never get tired of winning.

Who doesn't want to watch a FAMU-Northwestern St. game on Tuesday night to get ready for the real thing on Thursday? We've heard that same idea about 4 play-in games, and generally think it's brilliant. The more play-in games the better if you ask us. :) Hotlanta Bill: Sorry we offended you with the BD comment. It's all in good fun. We actually like BD a lot, and think he probably made the right decision. But it's a little disingenuous to criticize us for a comment like that one while your email address is "noleseatpoop" isn't it? MdKiff:
