Message: [QUOTE="GoChips20, post: 5341592, member: 11308"] By the Final Four weekend last season it seemed pretty clear to me that UConn was going to win it all, but UCLA really got embarrassed in that game in a way that doesn’t often happen to #1 overall seeds. We’ll see if they can channel it into fuel. It’s been done before: South Carolina turned two painful semifinal defeats in 2021 and 2023 to titles the following years, and before that Notre Dame avenged an Elite Eight heartbreaker to Stanford by winning it all. UCLA’s roster is stronger this year - I think Kneepkens and Leger-Walker are better scorers than any Bruins guard from last year. Barker will be missed but the younger Betts has a lot of potential. It’s this year or bust though because there’s not a lot left after this year. [/QUOTE]
