    But they aren’t. Four starters are gone. Two were first rounders. It’s an entirely different team. It’s one thing for Golden to say that so his team doesn’t look at their seed. But for external observers who aren’t playing, it isn’t even close to the same team.

    They are showing that they will be a tough out like I mentioned.

    Well I definitely feel the need to come back to this post, Shane. UConn played awesome.

    Yes sir, they sure did and honestly in the end I feel like it was a great thing that we had them as our second game. At first, I didn’t feel like it was equitable at all as they are definitely better than any other team a number one seed would play in the second game. Now looking back, I think it makes us more battle tested.

    Connecticut had a 13 game tournament winning streak… Another reason we all knew they would be tough to beat.
