You could be right if you lose in the Big Show. 
However there is only one real prize in college basketball
and you can’t get their without winning 
64,32,16,8, 4,2 
Survive and advance 
I was researching the middle 90’s and frankly didn’t remember winning league titles or tourney titles. I did remember losing heartbreaking NCAA games those years. 
The 90 tourney title was memorable , our first, but even that was nothing compared to “the shot “ to beat Clemson or the Crushing loss to Duke. 2011 , 5 in 5 days was also memorable but more so as a prelude to what became inevitable. 
Our many more league championships are pretty blurry.
2009 we lost in the first round of the BE , finished 2nd in the league tourney but made the FF 
I’ll take that exchange.
2006 we were 30-4 won the Big East 
and are only remembered as the underachieving team that lost to George Mason. 
 Winning your league is like having a hit play at the Schubert in New Haven It means  nothing if you take to NY and bomb. 
Success in the Tournament is making it on Broadway and nothing beats succeeding on the big stage. 
We’re UConn we’ve been to the  top of the mountain 4 times and the view from there is addictive.
