UConn basketball success is staggering

[superjohn]

With the women winning another championship in the most dominant fashion I'm left with my jaw on the floor when I think of UConn's basketball dominance. It's even more staggering when you know nothing has really been in their favor along the way. I feel an immense sense of pride in what these two programs have given to the state, alumni, and fans around the country. It sounds corny but every time I fly into Bradley I get goosebumps looking at all the UConn basketball stuff hanging everywhere, it's just huge for the state University and the entire state.

18-1 in title games.

The entire structure around the revenue sports has been set up to tear at UConn for 25 years - and we keep winning.

It’s not normal.

If only MBB fans had higher expectations than WBB fans

The scary thing with the women is that as many great stars as UConn has had, it's quite possible Sarah Strong will knock someone off the Mt Rushmore. Have to think Geno will be here for three more years to watch Strong dominate. While I'm happy Azzi won best player of this tourney, I was expecting Strong to win it. She is unstoppable.

Spoiled? I'm considering the overall basketball three-peat for UConn and I'm thinking "It has been ages since both the men and the women won the same year." I like their chances over the next couple of seasons.

Amazing that as great as Fudd was (including the 19 in the first half in the semi), Strong clearly got robbed.

Since 2000 50 national champions will be awarded in men’s and women basketball after tomorrow. UConn has won 16 of them a staggering 32%.

I think it is even more important for Geno and the Women to win one in the new era of college ball. Truly just so impressive what they’ve done. Hard to even fathom the success of the two programs combined

Sarah Strong is going to be the best UConn women's basketball player ever, which means she's going to be the best women's basketball player ever.

If you're gonna talk women's basketball, use the women's board.
