OUTCOME
CONFIRMED TRUEUConn defeated San Diego State 76-59 (not Houston, who had been eliminated earlier) in the 2023 NCAA Championship game played in Houston on April 3, 2023. The 17-point margin comfortably exceeds the 10-point threshold for 'rolling,' and UConn won all six tournament games by an average of 20 points. Russo likely confused Houston (the city/venue) with Houston (the team), but the core prediction of UConn dominating was fully validated.
