I guess we should pull Ace's scholarship ;-)

Won't be able to say that once we get there with Gavin, Ace and Dylan!!

That UConn has four top 50 players would explain why they are so good.

Agree , I think 4 top 50 players trump having one top 30 player.

I wonder why they weren’t better In the regular season? They may win it all but going into the tournament that was not a popular view. Did they under achieve until now?

How many were there last year? Embrace variance.

In other news Coach K and Jay Wright retired after last season.

They never lost any out of conference games, only Big East games.

Samson Johnson got hurt early season, doesn't play
Their transfers have been really good too - Newton, Calcaterra, Alleyne, Diarra

Has there been a ranking of remaining teams based on team NIL opportunity? I’m guessing UConn has the most experience rewarding players.

Hurley jettisoned some highly-ranked recruits (Corey Floyd, Rahsool Diggins) in favor of more experienced guys

More interesting is ranking by total AD budget (conference revenue plus NIL).

I would assume UConn and all the schools are on the lower end - especially compared to Big Ten/SEC schools.

Yup - it's a lot easier to see Hurley giving "the talk" than Pike.
Hurley probably enjoys it.
