[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 942314, member: 844"] I saw an interesting stat this weekend. Only 3 times in the last 16 (iirc) years has a team won it all that wasn't a 1 or 2 seed. All 3 times it has been UConn. I say they are a blue blood as they have won nattys under two different coaches. That says they have the infrastructure in place and is not dependent on just one coach (Tech and CBC, UNLV under Tarkanian, Florida and Donovan as some examples). Throw in the history of their women's team and I say they qualify as blue clood status. The only thing holding thm back is all their nattys have been in the last quarter of a century or so. If they had been spaced out a bit maybe they might have more "tradition". But 5 nattys puts them tied for 4th all time and they are in the midst of all others that we say are blueebloods. [/QUOTE]
