Really great comment on men's and women's success since 1999...

Georgia did it first in 1983, Louisville did it last year, and Dook, OK, TX, MSU, and LSU have also done it, but only UConn has done it more than once.

And here's what's even more amazing. Of all the other schools which have done it, I believe only Louisville has won either championship in the years when schools sent two teams to the FF. UCONN has been the team which stood in the way on either the men's or women's side, and emerged victorious, thereby denying other schools from being able to complete the daily double, in four of the instances when it happened. From 1999 through 2003, you can look at what UCONN did to deny other schools and conclude that we were preserving our rightful place as the first school to win dual championships in one season. Now we've done it twice. As you can see, nobody else has come even close, a combined 1-13 effort collectively from all the other schools. UCONN is now 6-2 (men got knocked out in 2009; women got knocked out in 2011) when putting both teams into the FF.

1983 - Georgia (0-2)
1999 - Duke (0-2) (UCONN men beat them in championship game)
2002 - Oklahoma (0-2) (UCONN women beat them in championship game)
2003 - Texas (0-2) (UCONN women knock Longhorns out in semifinals)
2004 - UCONN! (2-0)
2005 - Michigan State (0-2)
2006 - LSU (0-2)
2009 - UCONN! (1-1)
2011 - UCONN! (1-1)
2013 - Louisville (1-1) (UCONN denies the Louisville women in the championship game, thereby preserving UCONN's record as the only school to win both titles in the same season - 2004)
2014 - UCONN! (2-0)

Want to talk total domination? We're 6-2 in the same situation where all the other schools that have done it are a combined 1-13.

And, in that year (last year) that a team won it (Louisville men), UConn was not allowed to participate, in order perhaps, to stop them.

Wow. Geno sounded normal for once. I always have found it a bit awkward they way he speaks. This time it was wonderful

Your posts are awkward.
