UConn didn't play anyone notable during their 2023 championship run

I think they have to face someone better than a three seed. They didn't play anybody the whole tournament. They didn't play the Alabama. Nova beat real teams.

Opinion CBB Hot

UConn beat 5-seed Saint Mary's, 4-seed Arkansas, 3-seed Gonzaga, 5-seed Miami, and 5-seed San Diego State. While they didn't play a 1 or 2 seed, they beat everyone by 10+ points.

UConn is officially basketball royalty and a blue blood

The Connecticut Huskies are officially basketball royalty. Officially they have hemophilia. Five [titles] in 24 years is insane. They are basketball royalty. Five in 24 years is insane... The only other team to do [titles in four consecutive decades], North Carolina.

Opinion CBB Medium

UConn's 5th title since 1999 cemented their status as one of the most dominant programs of the modern era.

Villanova should be kicked out of the Blue Bloods to make room for UConn

Welcome to the Blue Blood Club. I think they kick Villanova out, right? And then they move [UConn in].

Hot Take CBB Hot Subjective

The definition of a Blue Blood is subjective, though UConn's continued success has made their inclusion consensus.

Dan Hurley is the arrival of the next great era of basketball coaching

Dan Hurley has arrived officially as a coach of the national title. He feels like he's the next era, which I love because Dan Hurley is like a throwback to the next era. He's got that scowl, he's got that anger.

Opinion CBB Medium

Dan Hurley went on to win back-to-back titles in 2024, confirming he is the dominant coach of the new era.
