Just remember that in the regular season game...

ND was dominating them for almost 3 quarters and it wasn't until less than 4 minutes were left that UConn finally took the lead. My opinion of that game was that towards the end both teams were gassed from playing so hard, but since it was a UConn home game, they had their crowd in it to give them that extra boost of adrenaline to pull ahead.

The Final Four game, however, was on a neutral court, so they didn't have that extra boost at the end to finish ND.

They talk about how UConn gets into teams' heads before the game even starts, except for ND (and probably Stanford), but I think ND is starting to get into UConn's head, even in the games where they win (like the regular season game last year).
