Just watched UConn-Maryland Elite 8 game

When people tally up F4s, they should have a look at E8s as well, especially if you lose a couple times to the eventual national champion. I'm not going to look this up, but didn't UConn also lose in S16 to UNC in one of their championship years?

Looking at EEs in the modern era, the ones UConn lost were [the school which must not be named], Puke in 90, UCLA in 95, UNC in 98, and UMD in 02.

Duke ended being the runner-up, UCLA went on to win their latest championship, UNC lost in the FF, and UMD of course won it all.

As far as SS's go, we've only lost to one eventual champion: Puke in 91.

We could have beat Duke (almost did) but I don't think anyone was going to beat UNLV.
