"You Play Ball Like a Girl!" That's what opponents of UConn's women's basketball team is saying against them. The team has not lost in about 3723 games and other teams are using intimidation as a desperate attempt to scare them.
UConn doesn't seem offended by the comment, as many enemies have said the same thing to the players ever since they were young. However, when the Huskies defeat their opponents by 40-50 points, the opposing team often says that they play like men in their postgame press conferences.

NCAA Teams Claim That NIT Teams Have Easier Road to the Championship
An uproar from teams in the NCAA Tournament claim that teams in the NIT have an easier road to the championship. Rather than facing cinderella teams like Old Dominion, Murray State, and San Diego State, the teams in the NIT get to play underachieving teams like UConn and North Carolina.
The NCAA teams are also complaining that there is more pressure on them because of the constant media attention put on them compared to the NIT teams. They feel an obligation to win because some random guy in Montana picked them to go all the way to the Elite 8 in his office pool. The NCAA Teams also have to win 6 games to win the championship, instead of 5. Next year, the NCAA Teams are hoping to have a so-so season so the committee can "snub" them and they can be invited to the NIT.

UConn Womens Basketball Games Voted Boringest in Country
With UConn's 70th straight double digit win yesterday against Syracuse, another UConn women's basketball game being a total borefest. The Huskies carried their usual 25+ point lead into halftime, with the game never being in doubt. Fans began leaving the game to beat traffic midway through the first half when UConn took a double digit lead.
UConn's ticket sales have decreased during the winning streak, as the games continue to be blowouts. While Huskie fans are excited by their success, each game is extremely boring because they're no contest. UConn fans are hoping that the team has a bad shooting day in an upcoming game so the game can be somewhat close coming down the stretch.
