UCONN MEN: Huskies fall short against Irish, drop third straight- The New Haven Register - Serving New Haven, Connecticut
Somehow, the Huskies still had a chance to send the game into overtime in the waning seconds. Leading by three, Notre Dame coach Mike Brey elected to foul Jeremy Lamb with 2.3 seconds left. Lamb made the first free throw and purposely missed the second, but got his own long rebound and put up an off-balance floater at the buzzer. Like all but eight of UConn’s second-half shots, it was off the mark.

"I don't know," he said, in a voice even softer than his usual monotone. "… I don't know. Our offense was horrible. We couldn't rebound. We were horrible." Lamb went on to use the word "horrible" several more times to describe UConn's 50-48 loss to Notre Dame before 16,294 at the XL Center on Sunday. The Huskies have lost three in a row and five of seven, and neither a week to regroup after their last loss nor the return of Ryan Boatright had any tangible impact on their play.

"It’s finally over with, we can finally put it behind us," Boatright insisted afterwards. "We don’t have to be worried about me being pulled out again." Perhaps, but the ordeal appears far from over. On Sunday morning, Scott W. Tompsett, attorney for Boatright’s mother, Tanesha, issued a statement saying he was "astounded" that the NCAA released confidential information about the case the day before, that much of the NCAA’s information was "false and misleading," and that the Boatrights are considering legal action. On Sunday afternoon, the NCAA responded with a statement that said Tompsett’s allegations were not accurate, that its statement on Saturday was factual, that it acted appropriately to ensure false media reports didn’t continue and that it didn’t violate Boatright’s or his family’s privacy in any way.

Whether it's to take down the NCAA, to take out Chicagoland AAU boss Reggie Rose, to turn the Boatrights into a totally innocent party, to further muddy UConn's reputation, or — in the case of Tanesha's ex-boyfriend — to exact revenge … there are so many people in this case trying to manipulate the facts to meet their needs — some noble, some not — that it has gotten silly.
