Props to Uconn

Pains me to write this in envy and jealousy. Anyway this Uconn run is historic. 10 straight double digit tournament wins is absolutely insane. Even more insane is this group looks even better and more dominate. Still 2 games left but man they have played the game at a level that isn’t being matched here in March. That 30-0 run yesterday was off the charts.
Okay I’m done giving my respects. It would be nice for KU to get back to that level of play

I concur
What they are doing there is simply amazing.
-
To think we beat them this year. Cam Spencer had that ankle issue and couldn’t make a basket, Castle was recovering from injury. We would lose by 35 playing this current version, even in Allen

Understand fully

@BeddieKU23 Yes multiple people blowing and going on here that we beat them. They weren’t healthy in the slightest and still gave us all we wanted is the way I looked at it especially being at home. I’d much rather be in their position than ours. Who cares about a December game in March/April. If they can win the title this season I believe it’s 6 since 1999 that’s pretty elite.

UCONN isn’t hatable to me. Strange even that east coast media hasn’t gone absolutely over the top insane in their coverage of them.
-
@wissox I think you answered your own question.
They aren’t hateable. Controversy sells.
-
Yes, UCONN is legit. The reason why is clearly Hurley’s coaching ability. His guys are disciplined, well-educated on the game, and they come ready to play each and every game. He also recruits players who buy into his strict play before committing to their LOI.
-
Looking back, Uconn didn’t play their A game but it was still good enough to beat KU even in Allen. We just seemed to match them that day with the home crowd being a big factor. We were also healthy at the time and they weren’t. Perhaps that was the difference right there in itself
