This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

A bit unfair to do that... by cbiebel
Considering that in half of those seasons they were undefeated (2010, 2014,2016, 2017, 2018) and in two more they had only one loss (2011 (the other #1 seeds had 2 losses) and 2015 (OT loss at Stanford, and they crushed everyone else)).
That means that you should only look at 2012 (Baylor, who was undefeated, had the easiest path, and they won), 2013 (Baylor, who had one loss, again had the easiest path, although the refs decided to make it more difficult for them...), and this year (You said of the #2 seeds, not overall, since Baylor once again has the easiest path).
So basically, in the last 10 years UConn has had the easiest path 7 times...when they were the overall #1 seed (in some years clearly so, going undefeated and winning all games by double digits).
