Notes And Comments: NCAAM And NCAAW Basketball And On The Fourth Day/Game 9 Of 10 No More “Un’s”

In the aftermath of the still, (will be for a long time, but will not be as bad if preferably, now 2 plus point(s) favorite Illinois, or if not, the Illini, (ode to Red Grange), then the preferably ‘Zona maybe even Michigan beats U.Conn) being talked about, U.Conn miracle win vs Duke, below some notes, regarding that day’s women’s “reg” final tilts, involving the two schools.

While they did not “cover,” for at least the second consecutive tilt, “out bet” to win it all, yet again–(comments on the complaining with a bakery full of bread or is it virginia hams per The Sopranos, Autoremina and surprising praise for knocked here, Pitino’s complaint) U Conn women eased st.up, vs Notre Dame– while the Duke women bettors were “happens a lot” “burned,” when UCLA, deemed having the best chance vs U. Conn in a potential final game but a semis underdog vs Texas, U. Conn is (-7 plus vs South Carolina, an 11 plus point(s) “fave” was “collectively” sent to the line up 10, with a half minute left and then after Duke missed, they did not foul down 12.

‘Twas nothing compared to the Duke st. up or futures “singe,” but one wonders, who knows what, as I add Duke “time-outed” down 12, WHY?!!

By definition, since only one series had been played, going into yesterday’s beginning of baseball’s second series there were the same number of unbeaten and winless teams (five).

More than somewhat incredibly, nine of the ten “uns” disappeared with only the A’s, a once great proud franchise, where ever the bleep they “home,” ruined more than once by the unfair $$ distribution that permeates much more and more important than baseball, still sans a win.

While the (3-1) Braves took the A’s in a third and now fourth city clash and redux of speaking of miracles, the 1914 “miracle” Boston Braves shocking 4 game World Series sweep of the great Philadelphia A’s, who had won their 4th pennant in 5 seasons and were heavily favored to make it 4 titles in that span.

Readers you get the specific results, suffice to say Alexander’s pick to be last undefeated (that became a 5 way tie, dead heat rules, Lulu, envy and a CD yielded Michael Santasieri, a fine schoolyard type plus player but surely not Michael Jordan or close, being told he was good enough to make a not so good U.Conn team/program. (So happy to make as much as the N.I.T students from Connecticut U. dribbled from campus to Madison Square Garden, which then in better days and not just for the N.I.T, , which plays its semis in Indianapolis on Thursday, which hosted the entire tournament) Toronto lost to winless Colorado and another winless (the Chi Sox) beat another unbeaten the Marlins.

Elsewhere, (why not cite it, some day I will clear or at least clear up the cryptic), (2-2) Cleve took (3-1) L.A. Dodgers, (3-1) Seattle won vs the (3-1) Yankees, and (2-2) Tampa Bay beat (3-1) Milwaukee.

Winless S.F. (Giants), who had scored but one run in 3 losses to the Yankees scored 3 (team total was 3 plus), but it was enough to beat the (1-3) Padres while Arizona swept by the Dodgers (two losses by one run-memo to Tony’s son, John Orlando, won vs the (2-2) Tigers.

Seven of eight related results went vs the “Un’s.”

Luigi “Geno” Auriemma, obviously a great and seemingly always winning titles coach, but seemingly as with many highly sucessful coaches/human beings a bit of an “exit,” is pictured below. “Fwit” has UCLA but even that is unlikely to stop U.Conn women. Maybe the “miracle men” will also win it all, but as chalk I say no and I do not want them to.
