As UConn fans, we've been incredibly lucky since 1995, with all the successes, all the NCs, all the highly rated players, etc.  However, the false expectation that we [I]should[/I] win the NC every year has gotta go.  There are so many things that go into winning a NC, and there are usually a few teams that can make a run for it, and then performance, timing, injuries, matchups, and luck will all play a part.  "Righting the ship" and "6 yrs now" is a very narrow focused perspective that doesn't give any other teams credit as to what they accomplish.

Imagine being teams that have many of the parts necessary to compete in the tourney, and they only gets there once every six years?  Do they need to right the ship?  Some of these teams are incredibly happy with what they accomplish.

Yesterday's game would have been close, assuming UConn was as healthy as it could be, as some of the players weren't at 100%.  Geno knew that luck would play a part.  So, bash the players and coaches if you must, however after everything that has happened this season, I'll take this group, faults and all.
