UConn will Win the NCAA Women's Tournament - Reasons Why By Mike Rusconi

Latest Reasons

1.  Paige Bueckers is pretty good...105 points in three games. 

2.  UConn has way cooler names than UCLA.  Although there is an argument that if you have a name like Sarah Strong, Ashlynn Shade, and Ice Brady, your parents may have inadvertently picked your career choice already (I was thinking WWE, get your mind out of the gutter).  I'm surprised Elton John doesn't have a name called "Sarah Strong," seems like something that would fit on Yellow Brick Road after All the Girls Love Alice. 

3.  Nobody pays attention to sports in Los Angeles.  There is objectively nothing to do in Connecticut so everyone pays attention. 

4.  This is the NCAAs, never count out the underdog...if you want to call a #2 seed an underdog. 

5.  I predicted that they would not make it this far, so clearly they are going to win it all.  

More Reasons

1. Uconn won their first game by 69 points. 

2. reason #1

3. reason #1 and #2

4. Azzi Fudd had 21 pts in the first half alone in Rd 1

5. Paige Bueckers barely had to enter the chat in their first win

Original Reasons

1. Few programs have the pedigree of UConn, and they have a real husky as a mascot, not a fake one like Washington. 

2. Paige Bueckers is healthy now.

3. I met a famous UConn bball player in a bar maybe 20 years ago she was meeting up with one of my friends that knew her from UConn.  Another friend tried to hit on her, she said “You couldn’t even wash my panties, boy. “  It is to this day the funniest thing I have ever seen in person. 

4. UConn probably has a chip on their shoulder now that SC is getting all the love.

5.  UConn has missed exactly 1 final four in 16 years.
