The Rutgers Women’s Basketball Team
For the record, the Rutgers women’s basketball team ended the season with a 12-4 Big East conference record, enough to give them a second seed in the Big East Tournament. There, they rolled through three Conference tournament victories to win the Conference Title against UCONN — which earned them a 4-seed in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, which included a thrilling edge-on-the-seat one point victory against top seeded Duke in the regional semi-finals. They lost to Tennessee, putting up a valiant effort that showed there was no quit in them by pulling back into the game in the second half before running out of steam.
Do I care? Not particularly. If I cared a bit more I’d dredge up the personal stories of the players, who deserve a better than the focus of attention that, in one manner or other, was deflected onto them by Don Imus’s Archie-Bunkerisms.
