While I’m not intimidated by any team left in the field the way we are playing… I am definitely happy we do not have to play Texas in Houston lol

Don’t jinx us you bastard. Lol

That was some beatdown yesterday. Congrats!

Thanks, friend. I knew we were playing like the team that flat out dominated to start the season, but even I didn’t see that blowout last night coming. We ate their soul lol

I said it to you earlier in the year I thought you had the best team. Don't know what happened in the middle but who cares now. Best of luck.

Yes you did! I felt the same way when we were ranked #2.

I don’t like to blame officiating but I feel like the team had a string of really poorly officiated games early in the Big East. We grind teams down mentally and physically with our D, but the officials wouldn’t let us breath on people while we got mugged constantly in multiple games, starting with the Xavier game. Felt like this caused us to lose our identity and swag a bit, and we ended up losing 6 of 8 at one point. Credit to Hurley and the team for refocusing and realizing how special this team could be!

Understood. But Texas ain’t nothing.
Little ol’ Rice took em to OT in Austin this year.

Should be a wide open final four….

Hahaha yah nothing worse for a teams chances of advancing then me picking them. Best of luck in the final four. Miamis guards are no slouch.

I hope UConn stomps on Miami and then forgets how to play basketball...

Normally I’d root for UConn too.
But mah bracket!

Also the Palm Beach / Dade County battle could be epic…

While I am awaiting an appointment, I satisfied my curiosity of the ingredients composing UConn's success to date.

1. Kenpom Rankings
.....a. Overall - #1
.....b. AdjO - #3
.....c. AdjD - #8
.....d. SOS - #24
.....e . Luck - #308

2. Stats
.....a. Effective FG% - #43
.....b. FG% - #67
.....c. 3Pt% - #65
.....d. RB - #10
.....e. FT% - #40
.....f. TO Margin - #209
.....g. FG% Defense - #18
.....h. 3Pt% Defense - #15
.....i. Blocks per game - #20

3. Composition
.....a. 8 to 9 deep

.....b. Tall (9 deep 6-2 to 7-2) (Starters 6-5 to 6-9)

.....c. Moderately experienced: (9 deep 1 Fr, 1 R-Fr, 1 Soph, 3 Jr, 2 Sr, 1 GR) (Starters 1 R-Fr, 1 Soph, 2 Jr, 1 Sr)

.....d. Of the 9 deep, 4 are transfers. One of the transfers starts.

.....e. Talented (9 deep - six 4*, two 3* [both transfers], one NA* [a transfer) (Starters - four 4* and one NA*)

Conclusion:
UConn is a tall, moderately experienced, talented team with quality depth who generally use transfers for subbing. They do not fit the present narrative of winners being overwhelmingly composed of very experienced transfers underrated out of high school.

Congratulations to former AAC legacy member UConn Huskies, for winning the 2023 National MBB Championship!

Congrats to the Huskies. Had zero doubt y’all would cut down the nets after the win against the Zags. You guys make the most of your opportunities. 5 titles in 6 final four appearances. Unreal!
