Similarities between UConn (2014) and Villanova (2016): 1. Both spent the first weekend of March Madness in New York 2. Both defeated a team in the S16 whose coach bested them in a past Round of 64 game (UConn/Iowa St, Villanova/Miami - Larranaga was at George Mason in 2011, defeated Nova in the Round of 64) 3. Both (in the Elite 8) defeated a team who they won a past non conference game against: UConn defeated Michigan St in Germany in Nov 2012, Villanova defeated Kansas in the Bahamas back in November 2013. 4. Both won a national title in the state of Texas against the preseason #1 those respective years (UConn/Kentucky, Villanova/North Carolina).

Just another game that goes to show that experience almost always wins in the end. Still, this is where the freshmen hype got too big for UK and even though we rode the storm this season, the seeds were sown for future expectations of discontent within the program. And now look at us 7 years later...this is the last time we were in a championship game. and I doubt we’ll be back any time soon.

A modern blue blood if you ask me. Since 99 (25 years in 2024), Carolina and Duke have three titles, Villanova and Kansas have two, Kentucky only have one (the Anthony Davis led team in 2012, their other recent ones were in 1996 and 98). UCONN won 5 championships and is a serious candidate in '24 again. In a way, they've been like the Spurs in the Duncan era, always a contender despite not being a major market team, but being close to a major market. I know they faced even postseason bans in the period.

Championship games are generally nervous... And here's the thing: on tournament finals you don't play (beautifully, or even your best), you win. That was the order of the day in 2014, that was the order of the day in the last title of the Calhoum era in 2011 (only time I seen a modern game with two teams in the 50 point range or lower)... Anyway, win it. With a show, ugly... Win it

My do I miss these days… I called it the year before, then I called it the year of. I made a lot of money this year & took all bets lol and people don’t remember it, but before the ncaa tournament 1st round huskies had just got BLOWN OUT by louisville & it looked like all hope was lost & like they had nothing to lose going forward. Regular season wasn’t that special, but somehow I seen the potential in Napier if he can just draw out the fire in his self & his team.
