I disagree on Alabama. I have watched Bama a fair amount this season due to family connection, and I don't think UConn will stay within 10 of Alabama. Booknight could go off, but I think Bama has the athletes to contain him. IMO, Bama is an Elite 8 team. Plus, we all know that the Big Ten is the greatest conference ever this year, so I don't see how a lowly Big East team has a chance against such a powerful foe to even get a chance at Bama
Hurley and Turgeon on the same floor will be quite a pair. Half the fun will be watching those two seeing who can out-whine the other.
