After a series of blowouts in the regular season and in the NCAA Women's Tournament, many people have asked the question Is UConn too good? 

Here to talk about that is Hartford Courant contributor Gabriella Levine, who joined the Sam Bourquin Show to talk about the sustained excellence from Coach Geno Auriemma's squad.

She says Geno recruits at a different level and coaches at a different level than other coaches and you can't take anything away from what he's built in Storrs.

"I think that UConn is able to separate themselves because they keep their foot on the pedal from the time they start the season to the time they finish the season," Levine says. 

She says that the argument that UConn is bad for the game is an argument that people in Storrs don't take to kindly to, but that every time UConn comes up big, that argument resurfaces time and time again.

 The Huskies are in the Final Four once again, and they are too focused to have any sort of mental letdowns in Indianapolis.

"They are too far along, they are too consistent, the team is led by three seniors with a lot of experience, and you have three newbies in the Final Four (Washington, Syracuse, and Oregon State), they don't know how to lose at this point," Levine explained.
