Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 2939054, member: 15"] Talk about an analysis that lacks rigor. As we learned last year, every game is different. Both UConn and ND played DePaul last year. UConn won by 34 points at DePaul while ND won by 9 at home. UConn's starters averaged 28.4 minutes while ND's starters averaged 31.8 minutes. When all was said and done, how those games played out mattered not at all. I have no idea who will win tomorrow's game. My only hope is that UConn competes hard, plays well, and leaves South Bend believing they can beat them later in the year on a neutral court when more is at stake. That's exactly what ND took away from last year's December game. As Geno said in 2013 after UConn defeated ND in the FF after losing 3 straight earlier in the season, the beauty of the NCAA tournament is that on just one night you need to be better than the other team. Miss State and ND proved that the past 2 years. [/QUOTE]
