Once again, no, I don’t want to talk about it.

Actually, San Diego played a gutsy and smart game. Congrats.

I don’t feel like talking about it. All I know is thank god I was at work when the game was on and forgot to set the DVR.

I’m blaming the loss on Fleadicker.

Two of the happiest moments in my life occurred in 1999. The best of those was when I married my wonderful wife Chris in front of family and friends on a scorching July day on a classed-up barge docked by the Brooklyn Bridge. The other great moment unfolded in a tiny Fort Greene studio apartment that was crammed with several of my college pals as we watched our beloved Connecticut Huskies beat the repulsive Duke Blue Devils in the NCAA basketball championship game. When the game ended we were all jumping up and down so much you could actually feel the geriatric wood floors flexing from the stress. We laughed, we cried, we high-fived like fools, we ran to the rooftop garden and screamed at the top of our lungs. It was a great night that turned into a great drunken morning (and a really bad next day at work).

Fast forward to 2008 and it’s been a bit of a chore to be a Huskies fan of late. The 2006-07 season ended with a very young Huskies squad finishing a dismal 6-10 in the Big East during the regular season and, ultimately, not getting invited to either the NCAA or NIT tournaments. This year started out poorly as well, but UConn has been on a short, impressive run.  First they clobbered 13th-ranked Marquette and then beat formidable Cincinnati on their home court. Today they took on the Indiana Hoosiers and this is why I didn’t want to watch:

• Indiana is currently ranked #7 in the nation and had a thirteen-game winning streak going into today’s game.  UConn is unranked and had a two-game winning streak going into today’s game.
  
• The game was taking place in Indiana’s Assembly Hall and the Hoosiers had a 29-game home winning streak going into today’s game.
  
• And if that wasn’t bad enough ... UConn coach Jim Calhoun indefinitely suspended starting shooting guard Jerome Dyson and bench guard (and occasional spark plug) Doug Wiggins.
  

It wasn’t supposed to end this way…

...at the Garden last night.

Because that’s how I roll.

The UConn mens basketball team is playing Gardner-Webb Thursday, the squad that just stunned Kentucky last Wednesday.  We nearly lost to Morgan State on the same evening.

I hate sports.
