Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3424981, member: 199"] Uconn has been to the last 11 final fours, the next longest streak is 5 held by Uconn and tied by LSU and ND. The next longest current streak is 2 by ND (which likely isn't making the tournament this year) and Baylor and Oregon at 1 which they likely extend to 2 this year. We as Uconn fans have had it very good. This year that streak of 11 FF may end, but we still have a good team and will be in the tournament (unlike ND) and will have a decent chance of extended to 12 FF even if we are not favored to do so. We have lost two games to the current #1/2 team and the current #3/3 team. We have one more game that we may lose to the current #2/1 team, in which case we will have likely lost to the top three ranked teams - not what we are used to but not a disaster. Some of us remember the tragedy of 2005-2007, 3 years without a FF and some probably remember the devestation of 97-99 another 3 year streak where we wondered if we would ever get to another FF let alone win a second NC. All our visitors from other teams probably have a hard time understanding the angst we all feel! :eek: This year's team is a bit of an anomaly - it is young and does not have any player who has won a FF game on it for the first time in 11 years. It has good talent, but is struggling for consistency - its post presence is headlined by a sophomore who is still a developmental player and can be overpowered by stronger more experienced players. There are some serious couch coaches posting here that know Geno has completely lost it and cannot even get the right players on the court, and can't believe the balls up he has made of recruiting. Others might just believe there is a cycle in college sports that is hard to consistently buck. I understand that having that glorious run with Stewart, Jefferson, and Tuck followed by the Gaby, Kia, Lou, and Pheesa years have spoiled people, but get a grip. Visit ND (8-14, 3-7 in ACC) for a day to see how the rest of the world lives. [/QUOTE]
