Don't be shy now.

Tell us more about how 2010 and 2011 UConn was virtually the same team

Sorry, I had to go back and check how good those guys were as freshmen. While I'll admit that Lamb was great (still waiting on him to come through in the NBA, btw), how could I have forgotten the epic 2011 title game performances of Olander (2 pts; can't even start now), Smith (0 points, transferred), and Napier (4 points). As bad as the 2010 field was, the 2011 field was the worst March Madness one of all time. Congrats to Uconn on eeking out 53 points on a Butler team that managed to shoot 18 percent.

Yep those 3 starters and 6th man made no difference that's why UConn went from 18-16 to National champions.

Virtually the same team

I think their style of play is kind of boring to some people. It tends to be a bit Georgetown esque. Minimize possessions, clog the paint with a 7 foot statue, score just enough points to win, etc.

When has UConn ever played that way?
