Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3053883, member: 5798"] I don't think getting to the elite 8 will be a problem. UConn will be a better team than any of the teams they'll see in the first 3 rounds. With UConn hosting the first 2 rounds in Gampel Arena (where they haven't lost in over 6 years), it's a good bet they'll advance to the regional in sync and ready to play their next draw. The tournament will begin in earnest for UConn in round 4, the regional final. That's where they'll likely meet the #2 seed in the regional which [U]will be[/U] a very worthy opponent. Very likely a top 8 ranked team. They will play in front of a "home town" crowd in Albany which they will be able to draw some energy if needed. The past few years, many #1 seeds have crashed and burned in this round. [/QUOTE]
