KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kentucky had all the laughs – or at least almost all of them.
“I’m glad I get to do it almost in my home state,” said Kentucky’s Brooklyn DeLeye, who is from Topeka, Kansas. “I know we’re in Kansas City, Missouri, but who even looks at that.”
Wisconsin had all the heartbreak. One could hear the emotion in Charlie Fuerbringer’s voice in the press conference as she talked about playing with Mimi Colyer being “so fun.” The joy that usually comes with the band’s post-match rendition of “Varsity” was hollow considering the team already left the court.
