They were also fortunate with their seeding and who they played to get to the four. I really think any of the other elite eight teams would have beat them just as readily. They simply can't deal well with a team that can handle their pressure and the rest of those teams would have eaten the pressure up and handed it back on a plate.
That being said, kudos to coach Donovan and his team for such a fine season.
I do feel sorry for poor Michigan State, Barky handed them the kiss of death with his bracket. Who knew he could empower UConn to the final.........
I will be the first to say they definitely overachieved.
They played well as a team, and they have a great coach, and that can get you far, however, eventually you’ve got to have the talent to win it all, and that was a bit lacking in the end.
The 04s were a much, much more talented bunch than these guys. But still, three elite eights and a Final Four, not too shabby.
Don’t forget the ultimate kiss of death ... Obongo’s bracket ... I usually wait until he’s done then I pick ... ticked me off royally because he had some of my favorites ... I actually ended up with the final four and the championship game! Obongo died early on ... too bad that’s figurative and not literal!
