Will UConn be wearing their home whites?

[cwh20]

I couldn’t find this mentioned anywhere. UConn is 5-0 wearing their home whites in the championship game. In ‘99 there was a coin flip to determine who wore the home jerseys as both UConn and Duke were one seeds. Is a coin flip going to be used this year? Against all odds UConn was the higher seed every other championship game even as a #7 (vs #8 Kentucky), a #4 (vs #5 San Diego State) and as a #3 (vs #? Butler). #1 seed UConn beat #? Georgia Tech in the ‘04 game.

Yes, they will be wearing the "Connecticut" home whites because they're the #1 overall seed. Purdue will wear their black uniforms.

I presume overall seeding would determine it.

They didn't have the overall seeding concept in 1999, just seeds by region.

 

[Da_Aisijimo_Gou]

of course, top seed

 

[Mr. French]

Butler was 8 and Tech was a 4 I believe?

Funny even as a 3,4 and 7 we’ve always been higher seed. I guess that’s where the ridiculous “lucky breaks” nonsense comes from.

Yes, they will be wearing the "Connecticut" home whites because they're the #1 overall seed. Purdue will wear their black uniforms.

My understanding is that with two #1 seeds they flip a coin.

Purdue going black and gold

My understanding is that with two #1 seeds they flip a coin.

I think they changed that and go by overall higher seed now.

(Factoid: The only time we ever lost a FF game was when we wore grey unis.)

 

[DaMuttzNutt]

Yes, wearing WHITES because CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES ARE HOME GAMES for UCONN

We wore grey against Mich St? We were a one seed, they were a two.

We wore grey against Mich St? We were a one seed, they were a two.

Hope we added them to the couch fires.

 

[Stew Crew]

We wore grey against Mich St? We were a one seed, they were a two.

We wore home gray. Mich St wore green.

 

[Greedo]

We wore grey against Mich St? We were a one seed, they were a two.

MSU wore green. The greys were used as home unis that season.

I hope we've burned the grey ones. It seemed we would choose to wear them for big games and lost all of them.......not claiming I wrote down all the results but it sure seemed that way.

Classic Good guys VS Bad guys! I love the symbolism.
