I can’t take them playing for another ship.
If they win this year. That is 7. And I bet Hurley would catch Kentucky in 5 years if we don't get a good coach. This is why I think its dumb that people want Pope for a 3rd year. Its basically delaying the inevitable. Championships is the ultimate success rate.

I've posted this before when the final four not being reseeded screwed UK over but...why isn't the final four able to be reseeded?

Arizona would have got Illinois and Michigan uconn.

N 2015 uk would have got msu why Duke got tired playing wisky.

And so on. It's dumb we have such rigid brackets.

I can be and will be pissed at both. I saw today coming a mile away. They're too damn lucky to be left alive in a tournament like this.
But hey, got what we wanted right?
It felt so good in the moment, but we all knew these lucky bastards wouldn’t lose.

This is similar to Duke in 2015. Lucky easy final four game and then the actual two best teams best the piss out of each other in the other game and UConn will play a shell of either Zona or Michigan. ANNOYING!!!!

That's why it was dumb this board was so hype for Duke to loose. They would just be on number 6 and Zona/May would have destroyed them more than likely. Now we have to rely on Either Zona or UM to light them up. And I don't like those odds in a one off. Thank God the UConn women lost yesterday. Because them winning both would've been disgusting.

I’d sell my ******* soul for uk to get the luck that UConn has in the tournament. Their guys never other team always plays like dog **** against them. Meanwhile every team we play can’t miss.
They have smothering defense and refs do not call fouls on their grabbing. Simple if you can get away with it. I certainly do not think UConn won because of officials but their game plan is not called like it would be if we played that style of defense. They have established that they play that aggressive defence and officials accept that is who they are.

UCONN may win Monday night. But it will have to be a continuation of the pure luck they’ve had over the past years. Because this team is not championship good. Both of the teams playing next are quite a bit better.

Would you have rather had Duke win it all ?
Logically? Yes. They haven't done so in a decade. UConn is now on the doorstep of winning 3 in 4 years and being the "cool" school. They're robbing the blue bloods and I'll say it....BBN has been lazy about it.

We should be livid right now.

A lot of us have been livid for about at least a season or two now.

I don’t think UConn can beat either Arizona or Michigan. But I didn’t think they would beat Michigan State, Duke or Illinois. So they’ll probably back into another title. I don’t like it but it’s better than Duke, UNC, Louisville, Indiana or Kansas winning a title.

They are the luckiest team in CBB and you just said i would have to be luck. Guess what?

Hurley is on his way to being the GOAT and eff my llfe if I'm ok with a dickhead like that representing the sport.
