Except on the rare occasion (like the DT/Bird/Cash/Williams/Jones team that was head and shoulders above everyone else), you need a bit of luck to win a title.
LSU got it this year--when Utah missed the 2FTs with 4s left, down one. When Iowa took out SC before the title game. When they couldn't miss from three in the first half against Iowa.
But that doesn't diminish their accomplishment at all. As Geno has said a lot recently, it's REALLY HARD to win a championship (and even get to the final four). UConn made it look easy for so long, but it's not.
