Yeah, being on the bubble would have helped seeding and maybe a better match-up, but man, that's not a place where I want to live. It's sucked the last few years.
Reality is this isn't the same UConn of the last two years. Lost 3 of 4 and then put together some wins late. Don't shoot a ton of threes, doesn't force as many as TOs as previous years... rebounding will be an issue. But they are beatable this year. Close strong and play like we have the last three weeks, we have a shot.
Let's face it. Tennessee, Alabama, Houston, St Johns... Florida, those all would have been bad 2nd round matchups for us regardless of our seeding. And glad to not be playing Kansas. That would have sucked- once in the NCAA tourney was enough.
Just glad to be in and looking for an upset on Friday! Better than being angry about being the first four out. I've had enough of those days.
