Like, I'm watching OSU (horribly overrated) after watching UNC (horribly horribly HORRIBLY overrated) and remembering that Syracuse won by Siva stupidity and nothing else, against a team THAT ****ING SHOULD HAVE LOST TO DEPAUL TODAY!!!!!


Is there serioulsy ANY other good team out there? Is this not the weakest field we've ever had. With the exception of Missouri, literally not one team this year would be even a 2 seed in every other year. We are going to have AT LEAST 2 (maybe more if anyone other than Mizzou gets the other) 1 seeds break 1996 Purdue's record as worst #1 seed ever. Almost every team this year would get plowed by *****ing 2010 Duke, BY FAR the worst Champion in our lifetime.


This is unbelievable. There is way too much damn talent in the NCAA this year, why the hell does everyone else suck? U Conn has like 6 All Americans, and won't even make the damn tournament....

Because they have one signature win, and will finish under .500 in conference.

Except not. 1 you are #1 in SOS in the RPI, and who cares about the RPI.
2 the Big East sucks this year. Cuse is really good, GT is ok, the rest of the league blows. More importantly than all that is this.

3. You are going 8-10.

I'm not overlooking anyone. We plowed Kansas the first time in the second half, we would do it again. We are WAY better now than we were then.

Finally, Vandy did not score in the last 5 minutes, no, we did not nearly lose to Vandy.

UConn could go 7-11 in conference, lose their first Big East tournament game and still get in. The committee doesn't like to leave out the previous year's champion.


Really? Because UNC was left out a few years ago after they won.

We won by 9. We outscored them 20-4 to end the game, we literally doubled their score in the second half.


It's takes 40 minutes to beat us. No one is doing that.

Also, before the season started, this was one of the 2 games I said we would lose (the other at Vandy) we won them both.


Florida MAY beat us in the final game of the season, because we have literally nothing left to play for and they will be at home, but I doubt it.

How bout getting bailed out by the refs (at home) by a team that will be like a 4 or 5 seed.... IN THE NIT. Because that is Syracuse right now. THIS is the team that Kentucky haters are praying can put us down in Nawlins....

You all suck (and I mean ABSURDLY SUCK) and I would not be surprised to see you all beat them this Saturday, because they are nothing to us, nothing.

I actually love me some Seton Hall (don't really know why) they are just one of those teams that any time I see them play, I root for them (St. Louis is another). Can't think of one game I ever rooted against Hall, and I don't think we have played y'all in my lifetime.

Also, explains your biasness for thinking we would do anything short of freight train Cuse. (Cuse beat Florida by 8 at home, we beat Florida by 20, and could have by 30, when they were top 10)

That would require a Big East team actually making the Final Four. A couple issues there. Only one team in the whole conference actually has the talent to do so, that being Cuse. The problem for them, is they are inferior (Much so at taht) to ALL the 2 seeds, UNC, OSU, Mizzou, and KU would rout them). Another problem, is that their coach, uh, he kinda sucks in March. They have made it past the Sweet 16 a grand total of 4 times in his entire career. (At the end of this year, Cal will have done 4 times in 4 years for a side note)


So yeah, no. Hell, even if they did make it, we would outrebound them by 30 (everyone kills Cuse on the boards) and tear their Zone to shreds with Miller's penetration and kick out, and then Miller, Lamb, and Wiltjer just annihilating them with 3's. (Jones hits them at a good clip too)

Yeah, it always boggles my mind that two "powers" like that had never even played till 2006, but then I realize U Conn has only been relevant for about 20 years now, and it makes alot more sense. On a side note, with the exception of UNC (who LITERALLY dodges us when we are good for a series) we absolutely own the remainder of the top 10 when it comes to head to head matches.

Capped off by the insane 19-6 we have on Kansas.

I know it is only one game, but I frequently point out this Japanese team must have been able to BALL. That 1978 team is one of the 10, if not 5 best teams in NCAA History, started the season ranked #1, and just steamrolled our way through March topped off by Jack "Goose" Givens scoring 41 in the Title game to put down dUKe. The fact these guys kept it within 5 is amazing.

There is so much unbelievably wrong with that list (makes sense, 3 incredible idiots, and one a little less so).

For starters 1991 UNLV being behind 1992 Duke.


Kansas and UNC from last decade being ahead of 07 Florida.

96 Kentucky taking a backseat to ANYONE

I could go on and on.

I always laugh at how weirdly passionate you get with college basketball because it's like a half step above high school basketball at this point. at least when you talk crap about LeBron you're talking about people who can actually play.
