The biggest lead by either team was 9-2 Duke, which was quickly erased, with UConn leading 15-13 not long after.  There were constant lead changes all game long.  It certainly wasn't a game Duke lead until the 40th minute.  It was a game of two evenly matched teams.

Those teams played three common opponents, and UConn had larger margins of victory over those teams.  Anything else, statistically, is not much more than garbage.  KenPom is barely more than garbage.  RPI is worse still.  As I pointed out, nobody but UConn or Duke was ranked #1 in 1999.  How often does that happen? Duke's gaudy adjEMs is attributable to the fact that they didn't face many good teams.  Neither did UConn.  They were the two best teams in 1999 by a LOT.  Only MSU was even in the ballpark.  The whole of the NCAA was weak at that moment.

Comparing them to teams from other seasons?  It's meaningless.  1995-96 Kentucky was better.  2004 UConn was better.
