UConn is going to pass Kansas and tie Duke for Nattys tonight

UConn is so heavily favored that I am starting to feel this may be a trap game, they haven’t proved that they can win in close games so far while SDSU is more battle tested.
To be fair, they haven't had close games....Not in the NCAAT. Or for that matter, in the regular season aas well....Lost close games to MU, Xavier, Creighton and Seton Hall.

Not sure it'll matter.

There's been a few upsets in the finals. Jimmy V bagged a title against Phi Slamma Jamma. How about Rollie over Georgetown a few years after? It can happen.
 
Along with Kansas

Duke lost to Jason Kidd and Chris Webber called a technical. That was a tough year.
 
I still have PTSD from 99...
I am with you. I am not happy with uconn winning. Especially now that they have tied Duke for titles, including two while eliminating Duke. Crazy to think that a program like uconn can have so much success with such little expectations.

What the fvck does that have to do with what I said? What exactly was comically dumb?

Or maybe I am an idiot and you are agreeing with me?

And miss the tournament as much. 04 I was working nights and checking the score on my flip phone. Still haven't gone back and watched it, never will.

Yep....Probably gonna miss the next two NCAAT's....Get bounced in the 1st round in year 3....Then win their 6th title 2027.
 
I still have no idea how that equates to “little expectations.” Please enlighten

I’m not the one who said it, but how many decent programs are going to keep him after four years of nothing and back to back losing seasons? 1 of his 6 years was obviously a big-time outlier.

Sure.....

Uconn missed the NCAAT's in Hurley's first two seasons.

Lost in the 1st round in 2021

Lost in 1st round last year.

Was not ranked in the preseason this year...

Are you telling me you had FF/National title expectations coming into this year?

Ollie was in over his head....He had ONE good season.
 
San Diego State's offense was mostly cringe last night. 70-80% of it was ISO or taking contested 3-pointers. There was a portion in the second-half where they actually moved the ball around, drove towards the paint and kicked it out for high-percentage opportunities. Why were they not doing that earlier? When you don't have to move a whole lot it's pretty easy to defend.
