They were a 7 seed in 2014 and a 3 in 2011.
I don't think if you're a 4 seed or above that it's much luck to go on a run.
UConn just had like little to no success prior to 1999 and they already have 5 titles with 3 coaches since then. There's not really a good comparison of their success vs any other program given that it's all recent. Duke, for instance, had some success before K.

Still wouldn't expect it though. They have an advantage at every position but Edey.

Yeah I don't expect Purdue to beat UConn, but I don't think it's unreasonable to think that they can matchup well vs them or win if they play their best and UConn plays less than their best.
