Elite 8 as the expectation?? Gimme a break. You guys have made 11 straight final fours with many of those teams having weaker, less proven rosters.  The last 5 years you've entered the tournament as the unanimous #1 team and top overall seed.  In those 5 years you've gone 184-1 in games before the Final Four.  Let that sink in.

Next year you return two players who are each 2x All-Americans, one of the better PGs in the nation who was a top 5 recruit, and you have 2 other #1 recruits on the roster and another top 5 freshman.  On paper you have the most talented team in the country playing for a coaching staff that has won 11 championships.  You'll also very likely be placed in the Albany Regional and get a big home crowd atmosphere in the Elite 8.  If UCONN doesn't make the Final Four next year with this roster intact, it may go down as one of the biggest disappointments in Geno's career.  Barring injuries or something bizarre, UCONN should be a lock for the Final Four once again, and anything less than that would be a major disappointment.
