Bah, Pitt is more deserving than UConn. And I like UConn, and live in Connecticut. I don’t see UConn as being a true #1. But I think they got it by default. They played a _much_ tougher schedule than Memphis. And look at UConn’s losses - two to Pitt, one to Syracuse in that crazy game, and then one misstep to Georgetown. Plus UConn handily beat Louisville, at Louisville. Duke had 6 losses, twice to UNC. ---
