Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 4463547, member: 563"] Agreement on 2014 being under-seeded, but probably not by much, they weren't a bubble team but probably could have been a 5 or 6 seed at best. Only had one bad loss to Houston, the rest came to quality teams. Basically UL had UConn's number that year and gave UConn three of their eight losses. Just a horrid matchup for UConn. UL was a very good team that made it to the sweet 16 before they met their nemesis in UK. SMU wasn't much better contributing to two 9 point losses and SMU wasn't horrid as they were one of the first four out, making the NIT championship. The other three losses were not great but they were close games UConn dropped by 2 to Stanford, 4 at Houston, and 5 to a ranked Cincy. Stanford also made the sweet sixteen that year. Cincy made the tournament and was upset in the first round but was a 2 seed. I think what UL did to UConn that year weighs heavily in people's mind, but they forget it was like rock-paper-scissors for UL, UConn, UK and UF. UL 3-0 UConn UConn 2-0 UF UF 3-0 UK UK 2-0 UL The only thing throwing that off was UConn 1-0 UK. [/QUOTE]
