Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3282180, member: 2117"] Prohibitive might be a stretch but in the past decade, teams not named UCONN have not done well at finishing the job as preseason #1, and UCONN has missed a couple of times too: 2019-Notre Dame, lost in title game after coming off title season 2018-UCONN, lost in Final Four 2017-Notre Dame, lost in Elite 8 [B]2014-2016, UCONN, won it all[/B] 2013-Baylor, lost in Sweet 16 after coming off title season [B]2012-Baylor, won it all[/B] 2011-UCONN, lost in Final Four Oregon on paper looks the strongest and should have the pieces to repeat but it'll be a competitive season. Looking ahead one more year, and I think UCONN likely returns to the top of the food chain with a lineup of ONO, Walker, Westbrook, Williams and Bueckers. Maryland, Oregon, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Baylor all look quite good on paper too. [/QUOTE]
