I disagree about UConn feeling their backs are to the wall.  They know they are in.  We know they are in.  Two of their competitors WV and SHU both lost yesterday.  UConn is in.
 
UConn does have the slight disadvantage of playing their third game in three days.  I hope JB subs early and often.  Maybe throwing in a little press with the subs.  Make UConns legs come into play.
 
As for the harder to win the third time, that has never made sense to me.  What is harder the third time?  I always thought that was a made up statement to help hype the game.  Most people would otherwise give even greater odds for the team that has won before to win again, thats what makes the most sense.  Especially in a matchup situation like Basketball.  I know in our championship year I was glad to see we weren't playing UConn again in the NCAAT.  And the year we saw Prov for the third time in the FF I was very comfortable.  They have never clearly explained to me the disadvantage the third time has for the winner of the first two.
