Try Creighton. They didn't just beat them; they curbstomped them. Plus, the Jays own UConn (7-2).

How’d they lose in the regular season? These are all good teams left in a chalky tournament, I’m sure someone fits the profile

If UConn loses to any team that won today...they're on the take. Watched some turnover-ridden, missed 3 after brick 3 after more bricks today.

You can't shoot below 50% from the field and beat UConn. That was some awful basketball today...about 75 turnovers in 4 games played...awful shooting.

Man shut the hell up. This is college basketball. Anything can happen. I remember a few years ago when Gonzaga was elite and couldn't be beat and they ran into a Baylor buzzsaw. Short memories around here.

We only really like it because it’s one and done for three weeks in March…

This is why NIL advocates are short sighted… they don’t want college ball, they want a shittier version of the pros

Who has the best chance to take down UCONN assuming they get past Illinois?

Purdue - UTk winner?

I don’t think Tennessee matches up that well with UCONN. They struggle with physical post players, so I think Clingan would have the chance to have a huge day. Additionally, Stephon Castle may be the best perimeter defender in the country. If he simply limits Knecht, I don’t see how Tennessee would be able to score enough to win the game.

UConn has led by 30+ at some point of every game they've played in this tournament

That was a severe athleticism mismatch that was very obvious 4 minutes into the game. I don't think anyone will outathlete UConn like that.

Florida’s size gave Bama a ton of problems. Awesome story for Oats and the Bama program getting to the F4 but next Saturday has a good chance to get ugly lol

That Baylor team was also awesome. It was a 28-2 1 seed vs a 30-0 1 seed.

these are two completely different scenarios

Zaga in 21 played a terrible conference schedule while not beating a team in the regular season that got past the 2nd round, didn't play higher than a 5 seed until the championship game, struggled with an 11 seed in the final four and needed a miraculous shot to avoid OT with said 11 seed

UConn in 24 are the defending champs after a tournament run where they absolutely dominated everyone in front of them, lost a ton of talent and all their starters, went on to beat 6 teams that got past the 2nd round, played in a tough and underrated BE which they won easily, and then rolled the Big Ten champ by 25 despite shooting 17 percent from 3 in the elite 8 after killing last years runner up the round prior
