#1 all the talk was Duke that 99 season.  There was little or no consideration considered by anyone other than UConn hardcore fans that the 2 reg season losses happened with injuries to two key players.  Duke was the prohibited favorite for the NC.  They were blowing out everyone.   It's why when we won the NC Khalid ran around shouting "We shocked the world".  Because we did.  ALL EXCEPT THOSE OF US WHO FOLLOWED THE TEAM CLOSELY ALL SEASON.

#2 was, on paper, the NC which was least shocking.

#3 was as you described the most incredible run.  Particularly if you add those runs with the Maui Tournament.  It was essentially Kemba and a lot of youth.  NOT EVEN THOSE OF US WHO FOLLOWED THE TEAM CLOSELY ALL SEASON COULD PREDICT THAT TEAM WINNING BOTH THE BE AND NC CHAMPIONSHIP ESPECIALLY AFTER WATCHING THE REGULAR SEASON.

#4 did not have quite the run but was equally improbable. The NCAA rankings indicated that improbability.

Syracuse fans must be happy they don't have to argue about which championship they enjoy the most.  A musical equivalent for Syracuse would be Soft Cell's 1981 hit "Tainted (Carmelo) Love" although I kinda like Baha Men's 2000 hit "Who Let The Dogs Out".  UConn could be equated to the Beatles and you are arguing #3 was like the single "Yesterday".
