Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 4592530, member: 153"] Yes, indeed. You understand my point. We lost to UCLA in the E8. We likely would've lost to them in the F4 or the championship as well. I'm not saying they took away a championship from us. I'm saying that counting E8s is possibly an arbitrary exercise when you consider teams are underseeded and they may face the toughest team earlier. I noted that this has happened to UConn multiple times and that this underseeding in those years is at odds with their actual record compared to those seeded above UConn. This isn't an argument for "we should have won more championships!" I acknowledged that in future years, as in 2004, the seeding was of a benefit to us. The whole point of what I wrote is that counting E8s or F4s is a little misleading when you consider the questionable seeding by the committee. [/QUOTE]
