Message: [QUOTE="HCCForever, post: 4572374, member: 8959"] I checked out the ESPN.COM site. UConn is the only team 4th seed or lower that is classified as five star. Gonzaga is the only team seeded 1 thru 3 that is not a Five star. [LIST] [*]Five stars means a team has it all, and we wouldn't be surprised if it made a run to Houston. [/LIST] In 2011, Kemba Walker led a 3-seed Huskies in one of most miraculous national title runs in NCAA tournament history. The Huskies of 2023 boast the same potential. Yes, they suffered seven losses in league play. But they a résumé few can match. Wins over Alabama, Oregon, Iowa State, Creighton and Marquette suggest this program can compete with any team in the field.

He's surrounded by two players ([URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4683750/jordan-hawkins']Jordan Hawkins[/URL], [URL='https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4917149/alex-karaban']Alex Karaban[/URL]) who both shot more than 38% from 3 this season. [URL='http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4592965/tristen-newton']Tristen Newton[/URL] (10.1 PPG) is one of the most balanced players in the Big East. And Danny Hurley's team is ranked top-15 in both adjusted offensive and defensive efficiency. Nothing underdog about these Huskies. [B][I]5 stars[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
