WHY IS THIS NEWS IN SPORTS?

The UConn Huskies just won the 2011 NCAA National Championship and most of the journalists continue to degrade the Huskies and the Butler Bulldogs for the way the game was played out.  I get it, it was an ugly game but do not sit there and not give credit to the Huskies defense.  The Huskies contested just about every single shot Butler took, not to mention they altered many of Butler's inside shots as well.  Talking about the game being ugly is not news! However talking about how good a teams defense is!
