David vs. Goliath: NCAA one step closer to its champion

As of last night, there are now two teams left in the greatest basketball tournament of the year: University of Connecticut Huskies and the Louisville Cardinals.

Yesterday, UConn seemed to easily handle Stanford, winning 83-64, and Louisville squeaked by Oklahoma, 61-59.

According to NCAA,

“Connecticut and Louisville have met before with both games coming out in the Huskies’ favor - a 93-65 victory during the regular season and a 75-36 win in the league tournament.”

Mechelle Voepel says Louisville will face the “Godzilla of a team in the national championship game.”

… The perfect way to describe UConn. Tuesday night’s game is literally a David vs. Goliath match-up.

Of course, I’m rooting for David.

The game is being played tomorrow (Tuesday) at 8:30pm in St. Louis, Missouri. ESPN, whom I would call the biggest supporter of the women’s tournament, will be broadcasting the event live (not surprising).

If you’re looking on resources to read up on this game, I’d check out ESPN Women’s Basketball because they have (by far) the best coverage of what’s going on.
