Favorite part from The Ringer article above:

There is no rhyme or reason connecting UConn’s basketball titles: 1999, 2004, 2011, 2014, 2023, like the handiwork of a drunk darts player. They have missed eight of the 23 NCAA tournaments since their first title: about 33 percent of the time, they are not one of the top 68 teams, and about 20 percent of the time, they are the best team.

College basketball is a sport of randomness, so it is fitting that it ends with a single-elimination tournament played primarily by teenagers. And so college basketball’s greatest program shouldn’t be one that wins every year. Perennial domination is dull—if you don’t believe me, rewatch UConn’s games from this year’s tournament. UConn understands the spirit of a sport that values short-term brilliance over everything. UConn is the uncle who goes off the grid for years at a time and then shows up for the best Thanksgiving ever; in a sports culture that worships dynasties, they’re on the Grover Cleveland plan. Every few years, these weirdos show up out of nowhere to be the best team in the sport.
