You can change one UConn loss to a win. Which game are you chosing?

For me it is the OT loss in the 2006 Elite 8 game to George Mason. That team had so much talent that had they won, they probably would have won that NC.

Regarding 2006 as talented as that team was something just felt off all year. Had we made the final four it would've absolutely been a complete shit storm at the Final Four sight with the media especially for Calhoun and I'm not sure how he would've handled it at the pressers with the media. We would've been total villains and and public enemy number 1 with the press going after Calhoun.

The way we were playing I do think Florida beats us and the conspiracy is that we probably get jobbed by the officials after the whole lab top incident the way Calhoun was viewed that year.

Of course I wish we had made the final four but I think it would've been a very unpleasant FF experience for the fanbase, the team and certainly for Calhoun.

My issue with the 2006 team was lack of ball handling. Always felt like it was going to eventually trip us up.

Sum was less than the whole of its (insanely talented) parts.

I thought that team was walking into the title game so the GM loss was a gut punch. But I was dating Ryan Thompson’s ex-gf at the time so I was also being a little bit of a hater. 😳

The very first Duke game. 1964 elite eight. 101-54. Duke lost to ucla in the final.

George Mason 2006, mostly because 4 of us bought final 4 tickets before this game thinking prices would rise fast after UConn beat GM. Never really considered they might lose. Three of us still went to Indy (RCA Dome) but it was really weak without the Huskies.
