From Barstool Sports. Because everyone loves lists. UConn hanging on in the top 10.

Reags has always been a bum, is currently a bum, and will always be a bum.

Kansas' average tournament seed: 1.5

That's insane.

Also, we should be higher.

I still put them ahead of Wisconsin and Villanova. Final Fours 3 to 2. It's not only the titles.

Essentially, the last 3 years have been tough on the program.

If you did this 4 years ago, it would have read, 3 national championships, 4 Final Fours, 5 Elite 8s.

Fwiw kid who wrote it is a UK grad. I consider UK grads about as knowledgeable and measured as Syracuse grads vis a vis MCBB.

They compared UConn to Eli. Harsh.

Giants fans will be happy? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You could definitely make a reasonable argument to move us up a few spots, but when you're looking at total body of work, I think our spot is fine.

But, but, but, where is Syracuse?

I know some of them like to downplay our accomplishments (since 4>1), but in the last decade we are top 7 or in accomplishments nationally fairly easily. Since 2010 we have 15 tournament wins, 2 Final 4's and an Elite 8. In that same stretch they have 13 tournament wins - 2 championship runs account for 12 of those wins.

Should be #3. Nattys should be the first and main criteria.

Imagine being chastised for having 2 championships in 4 years, compared to zero.

They compared UConn to Eli. Harsh.

Thank God they didn't go as far as comparing them to Tom Brady vs Eli in the big one's that would have hurt!

 

[mauconnfan]

It's a fair assessment actually overall. Wisconsin though? Please maybe 10th but not even sure they deserve to be there.

I win the bet. You could set a clock by your nostalgia.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Not too much to complain about here. We belong in the bottom five of this list somewhere, the specific spots are debatable. I'd probably put us at 7, Nova at 8, Florida at 9 and Wisconsin at 10.

Ok good one

Best teams last "10 years".

The top 6 Programs have had the Head Coach throughout. So ... thats where we had a hiccup (IMHO). We can start - with Kevin Ollie - to crawl back to a position that our transition is far greater than the other notable Blue Bloods that puked: Indiana, UCLA, UNLV, Georgetown.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

9 is fair. Consistency has to be a major factor. If we did this list in 2014, I'd argue we should be top 3.

Yeah, that was a headscratcher. Maybe recency bias. Who knows?

Yeah, I don't see either of those teams ahead of us.

Since the writer seems to take points off for "luck", perhaps he added points to Wiscy for perceived bad luck.

I always hate when people do this. Even the best teams need a few lucky bounces to win championships. It's part of the deal.

Proof that UConn basketball fandom is like a family: we talk crap about the team all day but jump to their defense any time someone says something less than flattering.
