the books love it when you parlay
I mean they literally have the largest margin of victory in NCAAT history. That alone puts them in the discussion. And it’s not like they had a cakewalk of opponents.No. They aren't
That is recency bias that you are guilty of
I respect your opinion but I think it is absolutely foolhardy to think this team could compete with the 1996 Kentucky team.I mean they literally have the largest margin of victory in NCAAT history. That alone puts them in the discussion. And it’s not like they had a cakewalk of opponents.
You don’t have to have an nba superstar (or 2-3) to be in the discussion for the best college TEAM ever.
We just saw them beat the biggest superstar in the game, and didn't need anyone to take over.What one player on this UConn team do you think could take over a game against a team with other superstars? I don't see one.
Yes. Purdue had one superstar that put up, what? 37 and 10?We just saw them beat the biggest superstar in the game, and didn't need anyone to take over.
Do you think 1990 UNLV would have only 1 player score more than 12 points in a 40 minute basketball game against this UCONN team?
Same question for 1996 Kentucky.
or 2009 UNC, 2000 Mich St, 2016 Nova, or 2001 Duke. COME ON!
not having a superstar is what makes what they did all more impressive to meI think I could name 10-15 others. I haven't even gone back to the 80s or before yet. UCLA won 7 titles in a row while losing just FIVE games over that 7 year period. Think they might have a shot against this 4 loss UCONN team? Just maybe!
And I've shied away from mentioning recent teams like 2000 Mich St, 2008 Kansas, 2016 Villanova, or 2018 Nova.
Again, this UCONN team is really, really good. But there is literally nothing about them that I saw that makes me think they are transcendental in terms of talent. Great example of sum being larger than the sum of their parts. However, I'm not sure that stands up against some truly dominant teams with insane players in recent (much less past) history.
i told my wife that if wake ever by the grace of the sweet lord baby jesus wins a bball natty, the celebration that i will have to "one shining moment" will be unprecedented

96 Kentucky would murder this UCONN team
2019 UNC would toy with them
Do y'all not remember how good those teams were?
2002 Maryland too. or 2003 with Melo?
And I'd certainly take 1990 UNLV over this UCONN team in a hypothetical matchup.

I don't even think this UCONN team would match up well against 2009 UNC (who also won every NCAAT game by 10+ iirc)
Recency bias.

Tell me more. Because as far as I know, those metrics compare each team year to year against one another and don't attempt to compare teams over different years, or decades, or even longer.if only there was some sort of quantitative way to rank and compare the efficiency of college basketball teams in different seasons....?!
