Arrr, matey! Coach Geno Auriemma of the Connecticut Huskies be whinin' like a scurvy dog 'bout the wretched regional system in the lassies' NCAA Tournament! He be sayin’ it be more tangled than a sea serpent’s tail, makin’ it harder than findin' treasure on a foggy night!
Arrr, me hearties! Geno Auriemma, captain of the UConn Huskies, be takin’ a jolly ol’ jab at the NCAA Tournament, preparin’ fer a fierce showdown against the Oklahoma Sooners in the Sweet 16. This year, the tournament be settin’ sail from two far-off lands, with the regional battles bein’ fought in either Birmingham or Spokane, where eight teams be crammed tighter than a ship’s hold!As the winds blow towards the Women’s Final Four in Tampa, the crafty Geno be lamentin’ how this two-site scheme be “ruining the game.” He be bellowin’, “Half the landlubbers can’t even set foot at a game while ye be makin’ a treasure chest from the telly, though I reckon the men's tournament be takin’ the lion’s share!” Aye, he be callin’ for a simpler way, suggestin’ there ought to be just four teams, not a whole armada!
With travel plans more tangled than a fisherman’s net, Geno’s crew be flyin’ from Storrs to Spokane, then to Tampa if fortune favors ‘em. He grumbled about the early wake-up, sayin’ they’ll be up at the crack of dawn for a shootaround! Last year, they sailed from Storrs to Portland and Cleveland, so this be just another grand adventure in the world of women’s basketball. Buckle yer swash, mates, ‘tis gonna be a wild ride!
