That’s easy. Hurley wasn’t expected to be this. Nobody really saw that coming. They weren’t able to lure a quality coach so they took a shot. He did have some small indications he could be good, like the way he dominated and turned St. Benedict’s into a national powerhouse. But this? No, even UConn didn’t expect it.

Then you have the 2014 title which was pure BS luck mixed with crappy officiating. They needed 10 things to do right and all 10 did. Total bs title.

They’ve been EXTREMELY lucky but that luck will run out. UConn dosnt have a good NIL budget and they don’t have crazy wealthy boosters. When Hurley goes pro and he likely will soon, they should go back down a bit. Maybe forever.

Duke is the much bigger threat to UK, and has way more statistical leverage to claim our spot than UConn ever will.
That's not "luck". Good grief Morg! You've been keyed up today. 4 of their title teams have been completely dominant teams. I guess no one really saw Rupp coming...so I suppose those titles in the 40s and 50s were luck. John Wooden too. No one really saw Coach K coming when he was hired away from...Army. Hurley's resume was at least as, if not more, impressive than Coach K when Duke "took a shot." A really dumb argument...even by your standards Morg. So they lucked into 6 titles in 27 years? Agsin, just a really REALLY dumb argument.

They got lucky that year, 2015! Actually, it was all SETUP for them to win. They didn’t wanna see UK be an undefeated champion. Look, I despise Cal as much as the next guy. However, the powers that be totally stole that title from him. Put us on the other side of that bracket and we win it 99/100 times.
Dear God we have some really dumb fans

Opps,,, I spoke too soon. Now UCONN can get to number nine quicker if Pope doesn't change some things quick

You could tell ESPN radio was fighting through tears on my ride home. They mentioned Laettner's shot repeatedly, heard his name mentioned more than any player on Duke tonight

Just put 100 on Uconn at +110 on Ceasars. Im sure it will move to a -110 by next weekend. If anyone plays might as well put a ticket in early.

I love your accounts. I know who you are, I look for it. I don’t read a lot of it but I get the pulse down in a sentence or two! Did you SECHONK account get banned? What happened?

Nobody can outsmart the smartest guy on the forum. I guess. You're still a dope and your takes are terrible

My favorite thing to do, is know that you’re moving around and watch you respond to others lol. I don’t actually read your responses toward me, I have no idea what you’re saying. But I do like to read your stuff here and there.

Sometimes it’s flat, I think you believe yourself to be hilarious. Which makes it funnier. But feel free to respond or message me, I don’t read it. No need to be jealous and angry either, which sometimes 😬, seems…..but get on it my guy.

There is a god!!! BYE BYE DADDY BOOZER YOU 🤡!! Duke had Zion, Flagg, and BOOZER and only 1 Final 4 and zero natty games or championships!!!

I think Uconn blew its wad.. and i also think this game finally showed that Duke really wasnt anything special. This is what should have/could have happened with ANY of the first 3 games they had if they didnt get totally bailed out by the refs. If duke isnt wearing the duke jersey, im not sure they beat Siena.

I could be wrong, but I think the title game will be between Arizona and Michigan.

They shouldn’t have won it 1992. Refs bailed them out yet again! More than once! They ****** UK and Indiana! Now, go back to your sandbox and allow the grownups to talk hoops!
