Cocoa, I have no idea where you get the idea that I don’t give “full” credit to SC & ND for winning their championships.  I have done so and continue to do so.  But you know enough about basketball to understand that nothing happens in a vacuum, so breaking down the “why” and “how” is what coaches, sportswriters and even lowly fans like us do from time to time.

You continue to miss my main point, which has nothing to do with minimizing SC & ND’s championships, and everything to do with pointing out that UConn’s execution last year was not at the level of the previous year.

You and I will have to disagree on who outcoached who in the game.  MM’s team was better prepared at the start, and after UConn stormed back in the 2nd qtr, MM made a number of key adjustments at halftime which pulled the Irish back into the game and ultimately put them in position to win.  As for 2013, while Griner was certainly deserving of the NPOY, the best player at the end of the season and MOP in the Big Dance was Stewie.
