Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 5226865, member: 2839"] This sort of thing creases me. As if a UConn loss negates the six titles since 1999. The fact of the matter is that "U-Conn. (Cringe)" does indeed in fact look exactly like a 2x defending national title team. Turnover in college is worse than in pro basketball, particularly in the modern era. Kids graduate, leave for greater financial opportunity, playing time, and/or better exposure every single year. Turnover for a given program is close to at least half their roster or more on a yearly basis. UConn lost two starters and two key rotation players (Something like that. I'm ranting and not looking it up, only to losing my vigor) from the 2023 team and ran it back in '24 with a more dominant squad. Sure, it's so easy to replace four starters who left last year's team and who all saw meaningful minutes in the NBA. UConn still made the Dance this year. Does what Florida did in 2008 diminish 2006 and '07? I also can't stand the "January, February, Izzo, April..." crap. Sure, Michigan State hasn't missed the Tournament in quite some time, but one would be led to believe that MSU has more than one ring since their last NIT. If we are being fair, "they" should amend the meme to "Jan., Feb., Izzo, UConn...", seeing as the Final 4 is rarely played in March anymore. Also I'm still waiting for the Arro6ant and Spo11ed" merch. [MEDIA=twitter]1902388155413647836[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
