Message: [QUOTE="Mr. French, post: 2123463, member: 2292"] I think you're right on about everything except the expectations. Similar to 06 but there we didn't seal the deal, we went into the season thinking "we're the best team and odds on favorite" or, in other words, title or bust. They played a bit inconsistent, had some injuries, and maybe entering the tournament they weren't what they were preseason, as far as "expected" ... But as a UConn fan, my feeling and my remembering of the general sentiment was that despite a up and down year, they were the most dangerous, most likely team to win if they play their peak and with peak health. In fact, part of the reason for that, imo, was that Duke was the only other team that REALLY seemed capable of beating that team, and despite the inconsistency and #2 seed, they were the most feared and the best when full strength. Just chiming in on my memory of that year, I felt the most confident about them winning it that season, I'd say probably tied with 06 for any season going into it and throughout. [/QUOTE]
