UConn in the NCAA Tournament

[7774]

The one thing I did notice was how many less games we have played compared to others on that list. We have played 24% less games than the next lowest Kentucky and 34% less than the highest one Duke. We definitely have the down years that the other elite programs don't. Though when we get in we are in it to win it.

Of course that would be your takeaway.

#1 and #2 seed Final Four conversion percentage by school since 1990:
UConn: 3/11 .272
Duke: 8/18 .444
UK: 5/12 .416
UNC: 8/13 .615
KU: 6/16 .375

We are actually pretty bad at reaching the FF with our best teams.

Well the key is winning it so we are actually 21% compared to Duke 17%. That is like saying the Bills are more sucessful team than the Redskins because they got to the Superbowl more. The goal is not to get to the final four but to win it. Thus why we have been more successful in that category.

Huh what is that suppose to mean?

No, Duke still has a better percentage as far as winning it. Same numbers, but only accounting for championships since '90:
UConn: 2/11 .181
Duke: 4/18 .222
UK: 3/12 .250
UNC: 3/13 .231
KU: 1/16 .063

And making the Final Four is a big deal. I'm not targeting you specifically, but this board has been pretty consistent in underplaying the achievement of a Final Four if it is not followed up by a championship. In addition, it is 3 times harder to make the Final Four than the Super Bowl.

Huh, I'm comparing how many times in the tourney since '90 and winning it all we are 4 out of 19 for 21% while Duke is 4 out of 24 for 17% so technically what I'm using to prove that once they get in it they are more successful in winning it all.

You can argue about final fours but I'm talking about championships.
