The gripe is that we suck, and it will be years until we can play with the big boys. Don’t mind the nay-sayers, though . . . let’s just say that they do not have a very pioneering spirit.
The UCONN men’s basketball team wasn’t supposed to make the playoffs let alone get by the first round. They had been suspended the year before and had a new coach with a so-so NBA record as a player. They and the UCONN women’s team are the current champions.
We play the games because anything can happen.
