I’ve been watching our final four and national championship games.  We had talented players.

But what really struck me was how competitive those teams were, how hard they played, and with such extreme confidence.

Need to continue adding talented players.  Started to see the buildings block of being competitive, playing harder and smarter and more confidently than your opponent, show up more and more by the 2019-2020 team as the season played on.

Dan Hurley’s quote about CV for the Tulane win encapsulates everything that UConn BB was and hopefully will be again:
“CV was the hardest playing guy on the court(which he is pretty much all the time and that’s a skill...btw)”

We won those national championships not because we had more talent than everyone else.  While we had comparable talent to the other final 8 teams, we had incomparable toughness and smarts that the other teams didn’t have. And that’s what put us a level above.
