Uconn reminds me a lot of Louisville's 2013 championship team. Although the type of players are different, the winning attitude and results are the same.
Both teams finished the regular season winning something like 15 out of 16, then cruised through their conference tournaments and were the overwhelming #1 overall seed.
Both were picked by the pundits to win the championship. Louisville did, coming off a final 4 the year before. Uconn looking for back to back titles. Something Louisville came a few lousy whistles away from doing in 2014.
Against UK of all teams.
And guess who Louisville would have played in the final in 2014? Uconn.
At that time, we were equals. Not even close now.
Uconn in very impressive. They are the best team.
