For sure those "Count"  It's just been painted that there is this gigantic gap between UConn ( who Kansas fans define as the epitome of feast or famine) and Kansas as the epitome of consistency.

For all those mental gymnastics, it comes down to this - in a 6 year cycle - UConn goes to the sweet 16 3 times and one of those 3 wins it all once.  Kansas goes to the sweet 16 4 times and wins it all once every two cycles.

That's the difference in 32 years.

So yes, while that extra sweet 16 does matter, if that's the razor's edge between most consistent program of the last 30 years and feast or famine then yes, sign me up for feast and famine.  There's no asterisk to be found on UConn's success.

One edit to add - I don't think it feels any better to be a 1 seed sniped by a 8/9 then it does to miss the tourney all together.  If anything, its been a joy watching UConn's young teams develop into champions instead of reloading with Mc'D's who choked when the lights came on.
