The Best Team You Didn't Watch

Did you know that the UConn women's basketball team finished their 39-0 season by winning the NCAA title tonight?

It's amazing how popular the men's tournament is -- how much money people wager on it, and how many people watch the games. Even Barack Obama filled out a bracket (correctly picking UNC).

But I'm winning to bet that few people outside of Connecticut followed the women's basketball tournament that closely, and they missed possibly the most dominant season you'll see in any sport. 39 wins, 0 losses. UConn won every game by double digits. The team they beat in the NCAA final, Louisville, lost to UConn by 28, 39, and 22 points in their three meetings this year.

This isn't even that much of a new thing for UConn fans. The women's basketball team also finished undefeated in 1995 and 2002.

As Coach Geno Auriemma said before the NCAA tournament, "We're Muhammad Ali riding Secretariat." It's a shame more people didn't watch this season's exciting ride for the UConn women.
