There is a possibility they don’t get put away.

Yes technically. By one or 2 teams.

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

I don't know, depending on our overall seed, dusting the overall one and/or two seed in the final four seems like a good thing, regardless of our uniform.

Huge merchandising opportunity, if I read that right. Make the finals but not be the top #1 seed?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Unless they've changed things, if equally seeded teams meet in the final four, a coin flip decides home/road uniforms. In 1999 Duke was overall #1 but we wore white.

Fun fact, in all five of our national championship games we wore home uniforms.

I bet Hurley does the throwbacks again

 

[Robo03]

If they had to wear blue again, I wish they would break out blue throwbacks to match the white.

The blues are fine, I like em. The black ones need to be tossed into the sun.

Correct, but what was the side panel on the trunks? HUSKIES, old husky logo or new husky/wolf logo? I do prefer the old dog.

Why? If they're wearing blue it's only because they're in the championship game. But at this point wearing blue in the championship game is out of their hands so no lack of faith in the Huskies. I'm saying they're in the championship game. Understand?

Have they changed that? Back in 1999 they didn't announce every seeding so nobody knew if a team was the overall #1 seed or overall #2 seeded team. So that was the only fair way to do it. Would they still do coin flips today?

Much funner fact is we won all 5 of those games.

Last year we wore our "Connecticut" throwbacks all tourney (except Gonzaga when we wore blue as the lower seed). Will we stick with the current "UCONN" white unis this time? We did go undefeated at home this year.

I do remember Duke being announced as the overall number one (the only current verification of that I could find with a quick search was wikipedia, which I wouldn't stake too much on but I'll continue to look).

I do remember a few talking heads griping during that tournament that if all four one seeds made it one should face four, with two facing three but as the setup was fixed by region, the third one seed (Michigan St) was aligned to play Duke.

We’re undefeated with CONNECTICUT this year too, no?

After last year gotta ride with the throwbacks.

Could be true but I don't remember that. So what if UConn had played Michigan State in the final? Would they have flipped a coin? In 2012 the selection committee started releasing the No. 1 to 68 true seed list after announcing the bracket. Did they announce just the overall 1 seed back in 1999?

I was kidding but i do like your point. I got dunked on. Well played sir. lol!

We do whatever is close to last year. You know Hurley. BET. Different story. Even though it’s white each game.

I think they flipped a coin back then between the 1 seeds in the FF each round. Overall ranking didn't matter. Duke also wore blue against Mich St.
