I remember reading an article recently that stated that Miss State had the perfect team to upset the Husky's. Of course that included their present hot streak. As I posted before if you have a good match up and the variables of Timing fall into place a lesser team can beat a superior one. Does anyone think that Miss State could have beaten UConn with how they played today? Hot and cold streaks count for alot.
As too the breaking of streaks. The longer the streak the more likely that a team is liable to be upset. A lot about streaks involves a bit of luck. Of course the streak is also reflective of how good a team is, but even good teams need luck and it often runs out.
