Message: [QUOTE="jr4750, post: 2194784, member: 117"] Think the answer is, because despite their skill level and immense talent, they are young freshman, who make mistakes. They leave after a year, and each team then turns over again, and needs to work its way back up. A few mistakes in the tourney and you lose. A bad matchup, and you lose. Duke's 2012 title run, like UCONN's recent title, both got incredibly lucky with their draw. Now they still needed to go win games, and had the talent to do that, but there was no way, either was the best team. Heck, I think we were the best team in 2012. As Mason said, being a protected top seed, means a ton, as it gives you the best chance to get to the FF. It certainly doesn't always happen, as we've shown lately with a 10 seed. Getting the best players, helps you get to the top seeds, and gives you a great chance, but its still very much a measure of luck and skill that wins you a title. [/QUOTE]
