In general it wasn't a good matchup. They were susceptible I bigger guards who had finishers down low. UConn didn't have that. Obviously they couldn't bet UK and I doubt they would have beaten MSU, or UF this year either. ISU would have been a tossup.
I've said all year this was a very deep year in college ball. Lots of very good teams, but no really dominate one. UConn struggled this year against very good defenses with HOF/very good coaches and small/quick guards. There weren't a ton of teams like that in the tournament. UL and WSU were the two teams that scared me the most in the tournament. UL wasn't more talented than UConn but they were a horrible matchup.
Last year was two or three very good teams and a bunch of mediocre teams.
