First time since 2005 they have not been in The Elite 8

Finally the F4 streak ends at 14. That will never be

repeated again or anyone get close to that. Just like their 11-0 championship record was broken last year so they are now 11-1. You have to respect the consistent excellence Geno and UConn have delivered over so many years.
This year's team was not very athletic

Dorka, Azzi, Lou, and Ducharme are not very good one-on-one defenders. OSU was quicker and more aggressive. All UConn could do was foul them. OSU also forced a boatload of turnovers, so this outcome was no fluke.

UConn should have Bueckers next season but they need more athletic players around her to make another run. I presume they have talent in the lower classes but we'll see how fast those players can be developed.

Meanwhile, I think we should be a Final Four team next season.
Ohio State kind of exposed their defensive shortcomings.

The same way that Ole Miss exposed Stanfords quickness shortcomings.
Nice!!! *
