Those two teams were very talented underachievers. In both games, we were debuting brand new offenses.
As far as talent goes, UConn at best is on par with a mid-level MWC team. They're a bottom-dweller in a non-P5 conference.
At the same time, I'm not knocking the conclusions as much as I am the process of arriving at them. Looking at just a few pieces and throwing out the rest is a pathetic excuse for analysis.
