Does anyone know where I can find the UConn vs Texas, NCAA tourney game? I've been feasting on the NCAA's. The Dayton game epitomizes UConn basketball. It can't remember whether it was the Texas A&M or BYU coach said of last year's tournament: UCONN has another level. That level was on display during the second half against Dayton. Speaking of another level: Lightning strike zapped my download of the Texas game. Help??

You have my immense gratitude. Agreed. The game was no contest. It's just a delight seeing the Huskies at work. Thanks again.
The middle 20 minutes of that game was a clinic by UCONN.

Kinda begs the question: Why does Baylor, USC, Tx , Duke place so much emphasis on "big" "???
True, but Kiah certainly had a lot of "big" blocks this year. Would still value sharp passing over the big presence in the paint, but a combo of the two can be comforting.

Not sure how to answer. As a general proposition, big is good, but not unless the players have skills, are reasonably mobile, and are well-coached in team play. The UCONN-USC game was a clinic on getting a skilled big isolated on one defender. Coaching and passing and moving without the ball brought that about.

Also, against a proper oppoent SCars bigs were less than impressive in pretty much every game I saw. They played well vs Texas A&M but Wilson is by far going to be there best big.
