They also beat arguably the best team in the tournament in the regular season (Alabama).

Truly don’t care bob.

Agreed. Easiest tourney run in the history of the tourney.

But congratulations to them. They took care of business and olayed was was in front of them.

Also I forgot to watch the GF and this game. The matchups were so riveting.

Combine the probation problems along with being in a conference that geographically nuked their recruiting base probably wouldn't be a recipe for success.

Could be, very likely will be. But it's not easy to do what coaches like K, Self, Williams, Calipari and Wright have done over the past few decades. We will see if he can do it.
I agree with that, but college basketball is so weird. Hurley's only 50 so I'd think he'd win at least 1 more, but the odds are so against anyone winning even once.

No SD beat Bammy

I have no respect for people that put down championships or put qualifiers on them or discredit them. That's the most lame shit.

Maybe I’m alone on this but that was still fun to watch. SDSU was brutal on offense but it was fun to watch a really good offense match up against a defense that’s pretty relentless. Hawkins seems like he could use another year but if he can consistently work off ball he could be one hell of a pick and pop guy in the pros.

SDSU shot about as good as me in the dark with both hands tied behind my back.

That was tough to watch for most of it. I thought they were going to take it in the second half when momentum really started to swing but they ran out of gas.

Happy for the Hurley's as a Jersey guy. I used to go watch Bobby Hurley play at the Jersey Shore Summer League.

Ah, the good 'ol days.

UConn beat Alabama regular season.

Are we really crying about an easy path a year after Kansas beat that awful Providence team, a 10 seed Miami, and an 8 seed in the NC game? And wasn't Nova missing their best player?

JFC, that's just part of making it through the bracket of a single elimination tournament.

5 titles in 25 years.

Holy shit.

I have no idea why a lot KU fans are hating on them. It’s that way outside of CP, too. Doesn’t make any sense.

UConn is ****ing ridiculous and I guess some people are insecure with it or something? That it takes away from schools that are good every year if you have a school that just shows up to the party every once in a while and dominates? :shrug:

I find it amusing. If it was a Big 12 rival, I'm sure it would be more obnoxious because their fans would come out of the woodwork every few years when they actually made the tournament, just to win another natty.. or would go .500 in conference play just to squeak in and win a natty. LMAO


And I remember seeing this chart last year....

Hating on UConn is like Chiefs fan hating on the Rams or the Foreskins for winning a title.

You might be into something with the insecurity thing. Nobody is close to matching 5 in 24, so Duke, Kentucky, and UNC fans must be salty, too.

Maybe Kansas should have upheld their obligation and not lose in the second round.
