The streak goes on while they took the pressure off, they own it. Now they can concentrate on winning the 12th championship which was always the main goal in typical Uconn WBB tradition. They are on their way to the Final Four no matter what happens at Gampel on Feb 13 against SC Then, there are no serious contenders until they reach the Final Four. Go HUSKIES WBB, lets enjoy the ride!!!

The Elite 8 game could have a serious contender and may be more difficult to win than two FF games. I think Uconn unless there is a complete breakdown is locked into a #1 seed and into Bridgeport. I think Baylor is pretty well locked into a #1 seed. After that it comes down to two of ND, FSU, MD, SC, Miss State, and possible one of Washington State or Oregon State as the other two #1s and the 4 #2 seeds one of whom Uconn will face in the elite eight. By the end of the year any one of those teams could be a really tough match-up with the FF on the line. And of course if Stanford puts in a strong finish they might be a 2 seed or a three in Bridgeport and we all know what Tara is capable of! The NCAA committee might find that hard to resist! :eek:

While Oregon State and Washington have last year's FF experience to fall back on should they get there again, a large portion of all the other contender's rosters have never been while almost all of Uconn's roster knows those ropes. This is especially true for Baylor which has fallen short every year since their 2012 championship. So I think if Uconn gets to the FF that will be an advantage for them, while they will not have as much of an advantage in the elite 8 - less hype and fewer distractions in a regional final than at the FF.

Couldn't agree more. There is a reason why Geno says the Elite 8 is the most difficult challenge for teams.
