That Arkansas/UConn beat down looks especially painful.

This might be a 2-bid league. Temple, SMU, UConn, Houston and UCF are all big question marks right now.

I'd say losing to a low major, non-tourney team is worse. But to each their own I guess...

UCONN also lost a game by 33 points during the 2013-2014 season.

Oh yeah, it can be overcome. Just a bit of a surprising delta on the scoreboard is all.

Big day in American hoops. 5 teams playing, all underdogs but some close spreads. Would need to win at least 2 and hopefully at least 3 to make the conference look better.

Notre Dame beats UConn 91-89 in OT in the NCAA Semi-Finals.

Mississippi State beat Louisville 73-63 in OT and will play Notre Dame for the Championship. All 4 teams were #1 seeds.

I think most pundits were thinking this would be a UConn vs Louisville final.

Condolences to our good friend UCONN_Husky . Thought for sure UConn was going to capture another natty.

Thanks 72. UCONN WBB has the problem of not having much experience in close games. I believe they are 0-5 in NCAA Tourney games that go to OT. Like the end of the UCLA era, parity in WBB is on the rise. I think winning the National Championship will get harder every year on.

Great group of young women this year, and some great new ones coming in. I expect them to return to the Final 4 next year with a shot at the Championship.

And it's sad, their season will be deemed a bust by some despite losing a single game and making the FF.

What they have going on at UConn WBB is nothing short of incredible.

And what a way to win a National Championship. Luck of the Irish indeed!
