For sure. I enjoy the parity. Remember when Auriemma said men's basketball is a joke? At least the same programs don't dominate year after year. Men's basketball has now seen 22 different programs reach the final four in the past 10 tourneys. Woman's has seen just 14.

Kentucky is only down 5 at halftime despite not having Fox for over half of the first half, and 4 of their 5 starters with two fouls each for the last several minutes of the half.

His family is embedded in SC going back several generations, he's an alum, and has a street named after him in his hometown. It's pretty safe to say that he's not a poser.

That's kind of what I was getting at. A lot of times when a team has a great run, celebrities come out of the woodwork and hop on the bandwagon. Not the case here though.
