NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME MUTTERINGS
-
UConn will win their 5th Natty in 4 different decades.
To me, this cements them as blue bloods. I don’t really understand arguments against it.
-
@Kcmatt7 also with 3 different coaches…
-
This is one of the most dominant NCAA tourney runs ever. UConn was a freight train
-
Played easy teams
-
Blue blood term is dumb. It’s so polluted on espn. What’s blue bloods. Top 10-15 programs, top 5, who knows. UConn is a top 8-15 program. So i guess blue blood
-
Wow. Hurley’s comments at the end of the half were the most ungracious I have heard in a long time.
What a sh*tty, disingenuous prick.

I dunno might be just me but me thinks that this broadcasting crew seems to like Huskies lol - -leaning a little every positive talk about U Conn. - - Na surely not
It is not you. They are transparently pulling for UConn…

Not a fan, either way.
Objectively you are probably correct. Subjectively 5 wins in 5 trips makes me view them as a spoiled, unappreciative fan base.

Imagine if we cashed in on FFs like they did…

UConn is a new blood school, not blue blood.
-
With the 11 Women’s NCAA D1 titles, UConn is the overall most successful college program ever.
Royalty, not a blue blood.

But yet since 1999 they’ve missed the tourney 9 times, only 8 times made it to a sweet 16 or beyond, won 25 games or more only 9 years. They are the weirdest program to profile. Nothing before 1990s essentially. A lot of mediocre years. Couple great years, 3 magical runs to win a title as a low seed. Won title every time in the final four. I’d rank them fringe top ten historically 7-12 ranked. Always depends what category you favor on a ranking system

5 for 6 cashing in FFs for titles. KU is 3 for 10 in the modern era.
-
@BShark So we are pretty much at our statistical share.
-
@BShark Roy not getting one hurt.

Ehh good coaching will take teams to the final four that don’t belong. Sometimes players pick bad times to lose their brains and hit Michigan players in theirs. Sometimes shots don’t fall. Sometimes Hakim Warrick comes flying in and blocks a three from Lee that was going in. Generational players get hurt and you lose to Stanford. Glenn Robinson decides to go super nova. Wayne Simeon misses an automatic 15 footer. -Mario and Sherron burry threes while in desperation mode. A very average team has a Remmy microwave and mediocre competition.
happens. The tournament is a glorified beauty pageant. Too random. Instead of further expansion it should go to double elimination after the first round. - would give a truer champion and generate more dollars - more games and better competition late in the tournament.

The Syracuse game is one that sticks with me.
-
@BShark amazing what Carmelo was able to parlay that into.

14-30 Ft.s. Its a painful stat just as 14 duke fouls vs. 26 KU fouls in the 86 Final Four is painful. Losing to Duke in 91 was excusable as was the UNC loss in 93. Maryland game in 02 I don’t remember being too traumatized. Kentucky in 2012 is strange as I was there yet with not much expectation of victory so it didn’t sting. 2018 when you get walloped like that not much you can say but congrats Nova.
So most FF losses don’t hurt too bad. But of course the pre FF losses hurt way more. 97 the worst of them of course.
Congrats to UConn. I don’t have any reason to dislike them, none to really like them either. I actually didn’t watch too much of the game. As a blue blood fan I’m a little jealous of a non blue blood with more championships than our blue blood. But when I go out no one is snickering as I walk by in my KU gear saying 'ha, that guys team doesn’t have enough championships.
Wait til next year though when we tie UConn.

Saw this on twitter
-
@dylans Yeah - but Nick Collison had a better game than Carmelo. What did us in was - - - what is it that I always harp on ? - - - oh yeah - - FREE THROWS. We were 12 /30. Forty Percent. It’s inexcusable.
UConn shot 24/27 from the free throw line a few days ago. 89%. ???
-
@nuleafjhawk losers don’t win mvp. Of course it was free throws, but Lee’s shot was going in, which would’ve made the woeful free throw shooting another point for KU absolute dominance that season. As it is it just leads to KU fans crying.
-
@BigBad There should be a lot more lines:
Coached by inventor of the game.
Number of consensus All Americans.
Consecutive sell-outs.
Number of head coaches, and their win totals, who either attended or assisted coaching there.
And, most importantly, enrolled Wilt Chamberlain.
-
@mayjay Put an asterisk next to 3 of the 7 blue bloods and say gym named after KU people.
