UConn was right there. A very gritty performance. If they had made just two more of the many threes they missed.
If all they're really doing is expanding the "First Four" into the "First 8" I guess I'm sorta ok with it. But I think we all know it won't stop there. B1G and SEC (and others) will try to **** the small schools out of it as fast as they can. They'll start seriously talking about taking away automatic qualifiers for certain conferences.
