American 2018-2019

Nah. The Wichita hype was legitimate. They finished in the top ten in 2017 on KenPom and then returned pretty much their whole roster. Vegas pretty much backed that up with their pricing - they lost a lot of games as favorites in the final possessions.

That said, I can see how they might have underwhelmed you. It wasn't a team with a lot of top line talent (though Shamet may end up being a pro) and they regressed big time on defense. They were ripe for that upset in the tournament.

Quality analysis there.

Yeah take the senior best offensive player in the conference and replace him a kid who did okay at UMass and a top 150 freshman

Jarreau is a former top 50 prospect and Gresham appears to have had offers from Texas, Florida, Miami, USC, etc. I think it's an overstatement to say there will be no drop-off without Gray, but it isn't like the kids they have coming in are nobodies. They're talented prospects now 2+ years removed from high school, one would think they'll be productive.

FAKE NEWS!!!

Who are you going to trust on how to denote the University's name -- the University of Connecticut itself or the boneyard?

I still don't understand what's right or wrong after they did the "rebranding" The way I remember it is that it's UCONN on letterhead and signs but UConn otherwise.
