You know it is interesting that UCONN has won nine titles and yet they still have not won a title in a year ending in a 1, 6, 7, or 8.

A one in 512 chance of filling all the possibles at this stage?? Sawing on the tree side of the limb here, which is a trademark of mine. Been a long, long time since I've attempted such calculations. But I think the likelihood of winning 9 championships in years ending in 9 different numbers is somewhere around 1 in 512 (assuming that we have played in an equal number of seasons ending in every one of the possible integers, and being willing to assume for statistical purposes that we had equally talented squads every season). Some of you more keen folks can improve on this, I'm sure. I'm guessing that it might be more statistically surprising that we have already covered 6 of the 10 possibles in only 9 tries, and that can be computed....just not by me at this point.:confused:

I trust you're joking. I'll bet that the board statistician , Phil, can demonstrate that it's rather unremarkable.

That's terrible! We gotta do something about that.
And what's even more terrible is that we haven't won a title in years ending in 32, 41, 53 or 67!!!

Just like in 'Jaws" when Chief Brodie says 'I think we need a bigger boat' Seems like a bigger banner is in order.
The look on Roy Scheider's face was classic.
