Nan,
Thanks for pulling these all together!

Thanks HuskyNan. Loved these back in the day and this is a very welcomed return

per courant article, the rest of the league ( including officials) really need to keep UConn and the top teams content for all the benefits they derive from their success

“…In the meantime, the run to the Final Four as a member of the Big East will add millions to the UConn athletic department. The Big East, which placed five teams in the Field of 68, four reaching the Round of 32, three the Sweet 16 and two the Elite Eight, will earn 15 “tournament units,” as defined by the NCAA, which doles out revenue to the conferences based on performance. This amounts to about $30 million in extra revenue paid out over six years, the strongest revenue stream since the Big East was reformed in 2013. The Big East earned 13 units in 2022. UConn joined the conference in 2020.”

Who wins in a battle of the Final Four schools' all-time starting 5s?

In this theoretical exercise, the best players -- and coaches -- of the past 20 years face off, just like their 2022-23 counterparts will do this weekend.
