Final Four serves up the usual menu of fun stories -- and UConn looks to snuff out all of them
The Final Four delivers the last entry in college basketball’s heartwarming yearbook
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Final Four this week delivers the last entry in college basketball's heartwarming yearbook, an annual assortment of legendary longshots, coaches looking for hugs and magic oozing from every corner of the bracket.
Only problem with the 2024 version: UConn doesn't believe in magic.
The only thing that has come close to stopping the Huskies on their march to a second straight title so far has been an uncooperative airliner. Coach Dan Hurley and his players, who have won their four tournament games by an average of 27.8 points, finally arrived in Phoenix at 3:15 a.m. Thursday after a nightmare mix of mechanical issues and bad weather left them hanging in the terminal for hours.
Awaiting UConn — nothing but feel-good stories.
