I should've been more specific. What I mean is them winning their first title.

If they get to the title game and get worked by UConn, it won't be because the NCAA hates them. Just like their losses to UNC and (especially) Baylor, it would be because they ran up against a better team who was an awful matchup athletically for them. Baylor made them look like they were running in mud in the 2021 title game.

UConn beat them by damn near 30 in the Elite Eight last year.
