To be fair, at that juncture, Geno only had five national championships; moreover, his team hadn’t made the Final Four since the end of their three peat in 2003-2004. Certainly the dark ages for the mighty Huskies if there ever was one.
I wonder if the standard at the time was to give airtime to the losing coach first as a courtesy or whether there’s tangible evidence that UConn was favored then.

Yeah, it's funny how winning eleven national championships will get a team that kind of attention...
