Maybe UConn didn't win the Big East championship but...

[HuskyNan]

...it defeated the ACC champion Duke and tossed in 2 wins over 2nd place Maryland as well.

...it defeated the Pac 10 champion Stanford.

...it defeated the Big 10 regular season champion Penn State and tournament champion Purdue.

...it defeated SEC champion Texas A&M.

...it defeated WAC champion Idaho.

and, oh yeah,

...it defeated Big East champion Notre Dame.

So there.

Nice work Nan!

 

[diggerfoot]

Darn! Now I wish Baylor had made it to the championship game, because then we would have beaten the Big Twelve champ as well!

Thanks for the correction. I fixed my OP.

Me too! I actually predicted the championship game the beginning of the year being Baylor vs. UConn, so I was close.

 

[MilfordHusky]

We beat all of them by at least 18 and most of them by about 30. In most of our 35 wins, we blew out the other team.

I really wanted the head to head game with Baylor. Be the best, beat the best. I truly believed would beat Baylor once getting by ND.

Bottom line is that UConn won a national championship emphatically, played its best basketball when it mattered most, and rose to the occasion at a time when other presumed elite programs faltered. It's not like Louisville beat Baylor and then promptly laid an egg in the regional finals. They won that game and their national semifinal game as well. And then got bludgeoned by UConn, but the point is that they didn't make it to the NC game by accident.

Eh whatever. I'll take the NC however it comes. If they were the best, they would have gotten to the NC game.

 

[Icebear]

Absolutely, I will gladly still take the championship but I just happen to prefer the favorites head to head.

 

[vtcwbuff]

OK - Here goes. . .

They won the National Championship - it doesn't get any better than that.

BUT - They lost the conference title and the conference championship. Something that UConn teams just don't do. They have no chance at redemption.

Huh????? They beat the team that won both of those by 18. Not sure what you mean by redemption. I'm feeling pretty good about that and I'm pretty sure the team feels redeemed as well.

I'm also pretty sure that ND would trade both those titles for the one UConn won.

 

[DobbsRover2]

Redemption..............generally worth about a nickel at most of the machine.

Mikey, aren't the constant flame acts getting a little tiresome for you.

Great teams show up in the biggest games, Baylor, Notre Dame both lost in their most important games, UConn won.

Never have a chance to win the Big East Season or Tournament Championship again.

 

[slimmer56]

I believe we would have worn down Baylor, and frustrated Griner.

We lost some battles but we won the war!

You're too easy.

Ahh....with the end of the BE as we know it....without UConn....that would be 100% correct.

My bad.

 

[rocky rococo]

I would have preferred to face Tennessee in the title game for #8. I suppose I'll just have to be satisfied to beat the LVs in Nashville for #9.
