They're so well balanced and they do everything at a ridiculously high level. IMO, someone is going to have to hit 12 threes at the absolute minimum to even entertain the idea of beating them.

Creighton went 14/28 from 3 when they beat UConn last month. That's what it is going to take, and that may not even be enough right now.

GCU is like a Florida St team. They are big, incredibly athletic, and below average basketball players. They just try to out athlete you. They can either make a game fun or a sloppy mess

There are only 3 teams that have a shot at UCONN. Houston with that great D, UNC with their guard play, and maybe Duke IF they play like they did today.

Alabama is the only team in the field who can get hot enough from the perimeter to have a chance against them with the way they're playing right now. They'd beat Houston by 20.

Yeah I don't buy Houston.

Northwestern fricking beat #1 Purdue and UConn is making them look like a #16 seed.

27 to 10 free throws in favor of GC is a travesty, they’re hammering us just as much as we are them. It’s a joke

Creighton won't come close to beating them away from Omaha. They shot 14/28 from 3 that day and UConn has kicked it up a few notches since them. That's the kind of shooting day it's going to take to even be competitive for 40 minutes against them right now.

Bama might not win today, its hard to overcome a 27-10 free throw disadvantage. Bama can beat anyone on a given day, but they also lose gams by 20 points. They have no shot imho.
