UConn may be better than shabby

True, the UConn team returns missing 3 key parts. Indeed, they will have the toughest OOC schedule again to offset their mid-major AAC folks. Undefeated is not typically a goal for them or their coaching staff. 2-3 losses could occur. But as last two seasons have brusquely shown, going 36-0 into the FF semis is very nice, but no one likes losing their last game.

Could be worse, Warlick could be one's coach and her recent track record does not include even getting to the FF at all. Heck Mulkey, Frese, and McCallie aren't exactly frequent flyers to the FF either of late.

Only three active coaches have coached in more than 3 FFs

Geno Auriemma, Tara Vanderveer, and Muffet McGraw.

Coale, Frese and Mulkey have coached in 3, but only 2 in the last 10 years. Hatchell also has 3, but hasn't been in one since 2007.

The more you look at the stats, the more impressive ND's last 8 years have been, even if they've been overshadowed by UConn's performance.
