Appears as though UCONN will cruise to their 6th Championship in the last 25 NCAA Tournaments. Crazy. They are the current standard in the game.

Absolutely crazy. That 26 year run hasn't been seen since UCLA. Three different coaches. Hurley has got them going.....after yesterday's game can't see them not getting #6.

I wouldn't hand them the trophy just yet. Bama can give them all they can handle, and Purdue is playing just as well as UConn.
Plus, I need UConn to lose for gambling purposes.

No need to hand them the trophy to realize they are the current "gold standard" that Cal likes to talk about. Even if they don't win, they are always in the mix. Like UK used to be.
For darn sure, UK is at best a "bronze standard", if not just a piece of driftwood.

I don’t see Bama staying any closer than 15 points. Purdue will be the biggest test, but UCONN will be the first team that will not double Edey in my opinion. I think they play him straight up with Clingan and stay attached to the shooters. Purdue does not have a guard or wing that can create their own shot. They rely on Edey being doubled to move the defense.

That was too easy to see.

This was easy to see as well.

I will be so glad when these 5 and 6 year players are no longer in the college game.
UCONN wouldn't even be here without Newton and Spencer, both super seniors. Spencer playing for his 3rd College team.
