"The transfers that came this year, they'll be able to play," says Karalyn Meineke, a member of the UConn pep band. "The recruiting class that we had come in looks awesome so I'm just really excited for next year."
Other fans say making it to The Final Four is good enough.
"I really think that having 111 wins in a row is awesome considering that they weren't supposed to do as well this year having such a young team," says UConn junior Michaela Pruchnicki.
