Barkley summed it up really well at halftime of our game with them. He basically said that the good part for Alabama was that we played almost a perfect half of basketball for us - we defended well without fouling, we hung with them on the boards, and we were scorching hot from the 3-point line. Everything we needed to have happen in order for us to compete, happened. The bad part was that after all of that, we were still behind by four at the half. UCONN was just better than us, period. We competed well, but it would have been a monumental task to beat that team.

What was crazy, especially in the second half, was when Alabama would make this hugely emotional run, and you'd jump up cheering and high-fiving, and then glance at the score and UConn was still up by one. Or three.
Then they'd hit a shot or two and stretch it back out to a two-possession game.
It was really amazing how calm they were. Like nothing you did affected them.
Very impressive team.
