Was UConn the best team this year?

[Doctor K]

Were they? If the NCAA tournament was played in a Best out of 7 Style would they have won?



I think so. Beating Villanova, Iowa St, Michigan St, Florida, and a red hot Kentucky was very very impressive. And all of those games they actually controlled throughout :applause:

[Qwyjibo]

No.

But in the tournament, you don't have to be the best overall team. In the end, with the current format, they won and that's what matters. I do think they lose a "best of 7" series to several teams.

[smoovegittar]

Of course. They're the best!:D

[CelticBaller]

We da bess

[Qwyjibo]

Just off the top of my head I'd pick Virginia, Wisconsin and Michigan over UConn in a 7-game series.

I love it!!!:applause:

UConn Huskies!!! And to answer the question, Heck yeah we were the best. We are the last team standing and that is all that matters.

4-Time National Champions. We are up there with the North Carolina Tar Heels, Kentucky Wildcats, Duke Blue Devils, and Kansas Jayhawks. If folks don't know, they know now. UConn Huskies

yea but then it would be just like the NBA... single elim is more exciting especially with the amount of fluctuation, from game to game, in the NCAA.

I was really getting behind Wisconsin, and they played well. I think this year was a pretty good one for NCAA bball.

Surprised that Uconn won their final four and NC game, tbh, but gg to them.

Of course not. Just like the team that wins the Super Bowl isn't always the best team in the NFL. Single elim makes things more volatile but also more exciting.

UCONN was the best team at the right time which is all that really matters.

I'd love for you to show me where I said UCONN got lucky. I said they were the best team at the right time. I don't see how that is an offensive thing to about the team.

[UConnCeltics]

2011 and 2014 are make ups for 2006 and 2009 no big deal.

[CelticBaller]

parade up here downtown hartford :banana:

[DeuceWallaces]

They weren't even close to the best team in a 7 game series, but that doesn't matter; it's not what the Tourny is about. Hell, they were lucky to get out of the St. Joe's game.

[MavsSuperFan]

No, in a single elimination tournament, the better team will often lose.

U mad shitty team beat best team money could buy?

[Koontzy]

College isn't about hypothetical 7 game series. Was Uconn the best team in NCAA? No I don't think so. But thy proves they were the hot team at moment.

[DeuceWallaces]

Lol, isn't your team just coming off a year of sanctions?

[UConnCeltics]

Lol, isn't your team just coming off a year of sanctions?
Yes. Retroactive punishment but in hindsight Shabazz probably doesn't stay 4 years without it so happy it happened.

I don't hate Kentucky like most people, but Calipari is awful. Hope UK hires a respectable coach.

[DeuceWallaces]

You just came off a long tenure from one of the biggest d-bag scum a-hole coaches in the history of the game.

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

lmao tahts what I've been saying.

Calhoun and Calipari recruit teh thuggiest of thugs.

Not taht I have any problem wit dat.

I'd hire a winning machiavellian azzhole before a respectable nice guy loser anyday.

[Jailblazers7]

I respect that Cal seems to actually care about helping his kids get to the NBA and develop their future. A lot of coaches drill the philosophy of absolute loyalty to the university and that's a selfish ****ing attitude for the coach.

And Kevin Ollie is pretty much Black Jesus. If he decides the college game is for him and doesn't jump to the NBA he has a shit at being the best college coach of his generation. He is special.

And yeah, Cal is good with kids and the NBA. Not like K or Roy Williams turning top 10 players into 3-4 year guys.
