Don't get me wrong. I expect UConn to role, and they'll be heavily favored again whoever they play between us and ND.. but the idea that they just can't be beat.

I mean. Of the two Final Fours, only 1 had an undefeated team, and it wasn't on the women's side. UConn did lose this year way back when, and they were losing at halftime to freakin' Dayton last round.

They're that good, they deserve being favored that much, but this idea that they're untouchable after the men's side just had a 38-0 team go down is absurd.

That team was favored by 5. This one is favored by 20.

UConn is 76-1 over the last two years with their only loss being in overtime by 2 pts very early in the season.

Over the last two years, no one else has even gotten within single digits of beating them.

This comparison should never be made between men's and women's basketball. They are not remotely equivalent.

UCONN lost one game by 2 in OT. All their wins have been double digits. Now look again at that 38-0. The talent gap is astronomical in women's BB
