There are no unbeatable taems this year, no. There are poor matchups though. There are no teams like the F4 last year, which would simply overpower us.
Come on now. We played against the team that won it all, and we didn't get "simply overpowered." We're also better this year than last year.
If we played that UF team with our team last year 9 more times, UF would win all 9 and likely decidedly. We were up by 1 over a meh Oklahoma team with 4 minutes to go the game prior. So would that Oklahoma team give those F4 teams a run? That Uconn team wasn't good. We were owned by Creighton a week prior. As flukey as Oklahoma played us close was as flukey we played Florida close.
lol if we played them 9 more times and Florida played the way they played in that game the other 9 times we’d probably win most all of them. Our best shooters bricked wide open 3s the whole game and we still almost won.
He’s never going to give a favorable or UConn leaning view. Like ever. I’ve just excepted who he is lol
You have some awful takes, but this one may take the cake. Did you actually watch the game last year?
It's not even about that anymore. His takes have just became plain stupid.
Well that tracks. When you only have negative/contrarian views on the dominant program of the last 3-4 years, then your views are inherently stupid.
Your worst take in weeks. Congrats
It's literally hysterical that you think that Uconn team would have ANY ability to do anything against those F4 teams. That's when I KNOW there is zero objectivity. Did you see Maui? Did you watch the BE tournament? That Florida game was a nice flukey consolation prize. We were fighting to get into the tournament. We would have gone 0-12 if we played those 4 teams 3x. '
I'll be the first one to acknowledge how good the 23-24 teams were. Last year that team wasn't good. It's well documented. Yet for some reason we want to hold on to some mirage that they were F4 caliber? Give.me.a.break.
Here's the catch - they likely wouldn't play the way they did that game. They won the NC against one of the stronger fields in recent memory. Certain posters here want to translate select outcomes as a team that was NC caliber.
You have a hilariously poor understanding of what the sport of college basketball is at its core. You prove it with every post.
SOME????
And what is that? Please explain with your widsom. I think I know what that is. If it's the cinderella run thing, then I'm sorry to disappoint you that those are going away fast.
What is your take man? That we had a team that could go into that F4 and win games? I'm honesty not sure what your take is? That we were as good as Florida? What is your contrary take? I'd like to hear it. Lay it out for me. Pose the argument rather than call out the poster. I'm saying last years Uconn team would go 0-12 against last year's F4. What is your view?
You're talking about the Florida juggernaut that was down 9 to Texas Tech with 3 minutes to go in the tournament and had to pull that game out right? Yeah I don't know how any team would be able to beat that team even once if they played 10 times.
Texas Tech was a really good 3 seed. We were an 8 seed.

My take is that we played Florida and led for 38 minutes. If we’d been blown out I’m still not sure we go 0-12, but we didn’t. To say we’d have no chance flies in the face of what we all watched.
Florida had an incredibly flimsy run where they were playing catchup to all sorts of opponents and if I can recall, we attempted about 14 more shots than they did and uncharacteristically bricked them. They also swatted rebounds into Florida’s hands at the FT line.
