They were 17-1 going into that game, having just lost their first to #10 Kansas State by 9 the game before.  Before that 2 game slide, they were head and heels the best so I would not say "fake 1" BUT those 2 losses started a season-ending slide that lasted the entire 2nd half of the season..

After that 2 game stretch, the wheels fell off for them, 7-10 in the last 17 after a 17-0 start including a first-round loss to WForest.

Imagine going from 17-0, well on the way to the overall 1 seed to 24-10 and 9 seed, and bounced in the first round, ouch. Not too many collapses are worse than that.

That game was the most painful for me.  UConn went up something like 6-0 or 8-1 or something like that and I figured they were just going to coast.  Still, up 43-34 at the half, I was not super impressed but I figured UConn has that in the bag and would slowly pull away in the second half.  It is still kind of hard for me to understand how they lost that game.  Just insane.
