There are only 2-3 other teams each year that have a legitimate chance of winning the women's national championship, and UCONN is one of them. And instead of settling your differences on the court, Pat chooses to not play one of the few games in women's basketball that even has a chance at attracting casual fans to watch it.
There are many instances where athletes competed against teams/individuals that rn counter to their ethics or were just disagreeable with the opponent on issues outside of sports. Instead of following the lead of these other competitors, Pat chose to run from the only other team that has consistently been their peer for a better part of a decade now.
