Eagle Error Caused “Short Schrift” To Mich (Mish)–They Were Superb, Ditto UCLA Women But “Fwit”

Around the midpoint of what is a virtually meaningless (even in basketball terms) “reg,” Michigan was touted “head and shoulders” (recalling Ally Sheedy’s head shake in I think “The Breakfast Club”) above, a brief slump, certainly ATS, followed, before a good finish despite a BIG Ten tournie final loss to Purdue.

In THE Tournament, obviously (6-0), first 5 an unprecedented over 90 points scored, at least (5-1) ATS and under Dusty May (fifty years earlier, another Big Ten’er, Indiana with Scott May as important as anyone, (Kent Benson was M.O.P.), completed the last college basketball undefeated season with a final round win vs Michigan) their second ever crown, the first 37 years (where do they go?!!) ago in 1989.

Elliot Gadeau was named Most Outstanding player as was UCLA’er Laura Betts, though no trophy at the presentation in the women’s tournament. (Another “Betts” title was garner’d (Phil had 1, Mookie Betts has 3, but bets, as seemingly always, fell short -with “friends like these….” not heeded.

Elliot Cadeau is pictured above and above.

Lauren Betts is pictured below.

UCLA, with South Carolina “paving” won the title.

A first for UCLA women.
