A summation of how their fans feel about it from one of the UConn message boards:
[quote]Blue Blood is about royalty. We aren't royalty. This is America. We're the ones who buy their estates when they're broke. Let them wear tweed and be sanctimonious about antiquated titles. We'll just keep winn...

[quote]Without even looking this up I'll tell you that they didn't, as it's not possible.[/quote]
My bad, they beat the #2, #3, and #4 in their region and then beat the #1 in the South (Florida) in the F4.
They beat a #1, #2, #3, and #4 in that tournament.
