[COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]UConn more or less plays to it's seed or underperfomered, aside from last year:[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]Since 1990, [/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]they have played to seed 6 times and missed the Tournament 5 times.[/COLOR][COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000] They have played above their seeding four times and below their seeding six times. [/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]They have only played far above their seeding twice* and have played far below their seeding three times (+/- 2 games compared to chalk). 1991 is really the only year (1990-2011) they did much better than expected and in that they beat a 6 seed and 14 seed.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]*I don't consider 2004 pulling a run out of their a**, considering they were preseason favorites and Okafor missed a few games with injury before being healthy for the NCAAT.[/COLOR] [COLOR=#00ff00][COLOR=#ff0000]1990 UConn was a 1 seed and lost in the elite 8[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000](-1 game)[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#00ff00]1991 UConn was an 11 seed and lost in the sweet 16[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000](+2 games)[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#00ff00]1992 UConn was a 9 seed and lost in the second round[/COLOR] (+1 game) 1993 No Tournament [COLOR=#00ff00][COLOR=#ff0000]1994 2 seed, lost in the sweet 16[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] (-1 game)[/COLOR][/COLOR] 1995 2 seed lost in the elite 8 (to the 1 seed) [COLOR=#00ff00][COLOR=#ff0000]1996 1 seed lost in the sweet 16[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] (-2 games)[/COLOR][/COLOR] 1997 No Tournament 1998 2 seed who lost to the 1 seed in the elite 8 1999 the top or second 1 seed and a great team 2000 5 seed that lost to the 4 seed in the second round 2001 No Tournament 2002 2 seed that lost to a 1 seed (elite 8) [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#00ff00]2003 5 seed lost to the 1 seed in the sweet 16[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] (+1 game)[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#00ff00]2004 2 seed and NC[/COLOR] (+2 games)[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#ff0000]2005 2 seed lost in second round[/COLOR] (-2 games)[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#ff0000]2006 1 seed lost in the elite 8[/COLOR] (-1 game)[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]2007 Not Tournament[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#ff0000]2008 4 seed, first round loss[/COLOR] (-2 games)[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]2009 1 seed, Final Four [/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000]2010 No Tournament[/COLOR][/COLOR] [COLOR=#ff0000][COLOR=#000000][COLOR=#00ff00]2011 3 seed, NC[/COLOR] (+3 games)[/COLOR][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
