Was Louisville really a one in 2014? Could have sworn it was Wichita State that was the one in their region

You're right. They were a 4 seed. Updated the OP. I suck.

Crazy, nothing further than a sweet 16. Very hard to win after getting the chip, it’s when you’re most vulnerable to lose players.

Our 2014 team was arguably as good as 2013. Was absolute bs both of our teams were scheduled to play in s 16. That should’ve been a final four matchup.

Why was it BS? You guys were a 4 and they were an 8. The odds actually projected for them to never make it far enough to play you. And you guys went as far as the odds said you were supposed to. A Final Four for either team went well beyond what was projected.

 

[Quavarius]

I see Duke (and Louisville) are the only team the last decade to reach the Sweet 16 after winning it all the year before. Duke did it twice.

We probably deserved an 8 seed, but everyone knew Kentucky had potential to make it as far as they did. We were a tough draw for any region as the 8. Louisville I feel like was under seeded that year. Don't ask me why, but I can remember thinking they got kind of shafted.

I can't tell if this is a reading comprehension error or a dig at Louisville for their *championship*.

 

[Quavarius]

No dig. For some reason, I thought UL lost in the Round of 32 in 2014. I’ll edit.

That was our transition year between big east and Acc, so that’s probably why, however we beat the national champion that year 3/3 times once by over 30 points. Was a let down, but wouldn’t have “counted” by ncaa anyways. Those corksuckers.

We got shafted on our seed, and UK started playing like a juggernaut by seasons end.

Well sure but UK was 5-5 in their previous 10 games. What they did was completely unexpected. That UK team was not a great team at all and I don’t recall many people picking them to go past the Sweet 16.

I remember picking Louisville to go pretty far but after looking them up they didn’t really do anything to wow anybody.

5-5 over the last 10 games = juggernaut?

 

[UL_1986]

If you had watched them play earlier on in the season, yes. The Harrison kid was clutch asf by the end of the year. They had only lost by 1 to a really good Florida team.

What? We beat the national champion (UConn) 3 times that year, one of which was 81-48...

 

[Kevin Bryan]

They also were the not champs in 2013.

You beat an unranked, a #19 and a #21 UConn team before the tournament began. A UConn team that was a 7 seed. That’s like beating Colorado 3x before the NCAA tournament this year. It didn’t mean much at the time. Your best win was at Cincinnati.

If you look at what Louisville did their resume screams 3 or 4 seed.

Blasphemy. I’ll split hairs with you and suggest a 2-3 seed.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

5-5 over the last 10 games = juggernaut?

An 8-seed beating a 1, 4, and pair of 2 seeds in the tourney on the way to the title game suggests so. Three of those 5 losses were also to #1 Florida (who entered the tournament on a 26-game winning streak).

 

[UL_1986]

If Kev agrees with me, it means I’m right @schoonerwest ...you know the rules.

Agreed, can’t wait for the new season.

What they did after the tournament began has nothing to do with what I’m talking about.

And yeah, 5-5 over 10 games = juggernaut. North Carolina is nearly a juggernaut this year.

are you a mod on Rupps rafters? I have been banned for 2 years over there now and I didn’t do anything wrong. Can I please have my access back?

I literally made one post over there that was not offensive at all. Place is the most sensitive board on the internet

Hahahaha, no. I don't even read that cesspool of a board. I only frequent the premium board.

I was banned 7 posts into RR. Think I referenced the klan in regards to their board members and got the chop.

The Cards needed one of 3 players to get back 2 back Titles;
Gorgui, Chane or Kevin.
So close
