Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 5243260, member: 2117"] One thing that’s consistent with Geno’s title teams is they’ve never really been an underdog in any tournament game. The lone exceptions might be 1995 and 2003 vs Tennessee, but his teams have always been favored to win in all 6 tournament games. This year despite being a 2 seed, it would still follow suit as UCONN is the clear betting favorite entering the Final Four as an 8.5 point favorite over #1 overall seed UCLA. That said, this year winning a title feels like less of a sure thing compared to most UCONN title teams where they’ve often been the overwhelming favorite to win it all. I’m not a UCONN fan but I’d imagine pulling out a title this year would be up there among the most satisfying of wins considering the uncertainty of winning a title, the 9 year title drought and that it’d be a storybook ending to Paige’s career after all she’s been through.
