Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4089881, member: 3535"] But they weren't [B] undoubtedly superior to everyone else in 14 and in 15 [/B]That's an insult to Notre Dame in 2014 and 2015 (though i don't mind the insult personally :)). In 16 sure but not 14 or 15. The prior year (13) UCONN beat ND once while ND beat them 3 times. And I believe the prior 4 games from 2 prior years were all won by ND too. The 2014 matchup had ND also undefeated and steamrolling everyone - and then Achonwa went down. And in 2015 they gave UCONN a dogfight. So this year is the same as many others from the past; gonna have some dogfights. There is rarely "an automatic title." The biggest change is easier for transfers and due to COVID players can stay longer which means teams are tougher which even includes this year as an example Evina staying and getting Dorka makes UCONN tougher too. It's not just the other teams. And if Azzi Fudd is near what she has been touted - UCONN is still a lock to be vying for titles next several years barring injuries. OFC to win it- it can’t just be having great guards but at least to be in the conversation UCONN would be a near lock anyway based on current class’s coming in. Thus they remain overall the number 1 program. After all, in 2018 and 2019 Stanford and SC were not even in the Final Fours. UConn always is. Always. Always vying for titles. Always. [B]One year of a championship from Stanford doesn't make that all go away.[/B] And UCONN did beat SC last year. [B]I expect dogfights yet again though UCONN program still remains the number 1 beast.
