Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2142757, member: 199"] Long thread on this subject already, to which I added a very long post - the conclusion of which was Uconn losses over the last decade have been 'outliers' whether they be by single digits or in OT games or the very few that they lost by more than 10. Those losses are similar to the outliers at the other end - wins against top 15 teams by 40+ points. Basically Uconn playing regulation to a tie score already means they are not playing well so then losing in OT is just a continuation of the previous 40 minutes of not playing well and do we really expect a change in the 5 minutes OT when they couldn't get it together in the first 40 minutes. It is also worth noting that three of the 6 OT losses in a row were part of a string of 7 losses in 9 games to a single team - ND over the space of a two year period - also an unheard of record against any opponent. They were during that stretch dominated by ND and so again getting some of those games into overtime was a 'minor victory' in itself. The last two losses - Stanford and MSS - can anyone with a straight face say that Uconn played their A game in either of those games? Yes their opponents had something to do with that, but over the course of the five years during which those two losses occurred, Uconn faced many equally tough defenses and effective offenses and were still able to dismantle them and be victorious.
