Let’s go CANES how times have changed needing Miami Basketball to win me a nice payday
Maggie Rodgers, never heard of her before today, but she may need to get some dancing lessons and work on her live performances
I feel like all FAU had to do to win was just take a shot with 1 second left on the shot clock. Just do that and great odds SDSU doesn't get a good shot off.
Higgins would have definitely called us out on that photo from above.
He wasn’t, there was another angle, his foot was literally a inch or two from the line
Apparently the high stepping African American referee is anti-Danny Hurley. Problem is Roger Ayers and Doug Sirmons.
I love the way SDSU plays. College basketball not NBA style. You always hear how you have to have NBA talent on the team to win championship. Not sure they have any. I was in Orlando for the 1st and 2nd rounds (with grandkids on Spring Break). Saw them twice. (And got see Duke lose). SDSU is relentless on the boards. I do miss their old mascot though, Monty Montezuma!.
UCONN coach: 'Did you miss us'
No, no we did not.
No, no we did not.
The national title was settled with UCONN vs Gonzaga and unfortunately gonzaga forgot there was a game. This one is going to get ugly. UCONN guys just always deliver when they get to this point.
UConn wins its 5th title since 1999 on Monday night.
Where's the "It's impossible to expect multiple titles in a short period of time in the modern age due to parity" crowd?
Since 1999:
UK: 1 title
Kansas: 2 titles
Villanova: 2 titles
Florida: 2 titles
Duke: 3 titles
UNC: 3 titles
UConn: soon to be 5 titles
17/23 titles in that span won by same six programs.
So much for the "age of parity."

Didn't catch it, but it was Maggie Rogers. You should check out her studio albums, they are very good.
UK has 3 titles since 1996 if that makes you feel any better
The thing with UConn is thought, that they suck every other year, they suck for 5-6 years then they their year like this year. And their is becoming more parody the gap between these schools is smaller than it’s ever been, these next couple of years will be interesting to see what happens
They're a strange anomaly for sure. We all thought that it would be over for them when Calhoun stepped aside, and then Ollie won one and now Hurley's about to win one, and strangely enough both since Cal won his only title.
Do you think 1999 is the modern age of college basketball? And winning 5 titles out of 6 Final Four appearances would be such an extreme outlier that took a great deal of luck.
Alternatively you could have framed it as over the last ten tournaments there will have been 8 different winners if UConn does win, and 9 different if they don't. But that doesn't really suit your narrative, so let's play with the years to try to make a point. Or we could have started in 1998 and given UK two titles, or maybe 1996 and given them three.
You can pick arbitrary timeframes to make just about any point you want, but there's more parity in college ball than there has ever been.
They are the weirdest school in college basketball, they either suck or win a title
We have one title under three coaches since 1999.
Is that "playing with the narrative?"
