Has taken the top spot for the best blue blood. Two games away from their 6th title since 1999, Kentucky has 1 in that time…. Just unreal what they have been accomplishing, props to them.
UCONN
- Thread starter LXWildcat
- Start date
They’ve taken the top spot on being the luckiest damn team alive
Just have had good coaches
A blueblood with 0 titles before the 90s? Ok, sure. But yeah, they're the best program since 2000 for sure.
Don't forget. HOFCJVC gave them 2 titles.
I mean if they win a championship then they will be tied with UNC for the third most. Also why is Kentucky still considered a blue blood if they’ve only won 1 championships since 1998?
Lol, you must be like 15. Blueblood means old money. Good back then good now. Uconn is good now, but wasn't back then.
Exactly handed them 2 of them! I mean he let Kevin Ollie out coach him for one of them…. Kevin freaking Ollie….
All he had to do was zone.
Would you consider Kentucky good now? Because I certainly wouldn’t
I don’t think anyone can argue against UConn being a new blue blood. They have certainly overtaken Kentucky, UNC and Kansas. Duke is hanging with them at least some. Sad state of affairs for the old blue bloods.
We have 4 final fours and a title since 2000. Not exactly ''bad''.
Because it's not just about titles. The traditional five blue bloods are UK, KU, Duke, UNC, and UCLA. Those five are all top five in both all time wins and winning percentage. UConn is like 20th and 12th respectively. They just don't have the total body of work to be a blue blood.
Yeah they have been lucky. They have been fortunate not to face an Oakland or ****** Saint Peters juggernaut.
Hurley is in 2020 what Pitino was in 1990’s
That's a quarter century. We're not good anymore.
And that is light-years ahead of the conman Calipari.
Pretty lucky when you come off of major sections and immediately win an NCAA title.
Doesn't hurt to have a lucky charm like Doug Shows either.
You’ll get blasted for suggesting such when it comes to any mention of bluebloods, but a presumed 6th title in 25 years is unbelievable in today’s game. This isn’t the 60s or 70s where you had Wooden rattling them off. To do it with multiple coaches including Kevin Ollie, they’re lightyears beyond us in the 2000s. Not even a discussion.
Edited to add: I get that they’ve had some easy runs, but you can only play the schedule presented to you. That’s the point of a tournament. We’ve had many brackets break in our favor and haven’t capitalized.

If anybody was ever dumb enough to think you were a UK fan, this thread and speciically this post should clear it up.
Look at there path to a title this year. It’s freaking laughable.
You do realize there is a Saturday night game thread right?
Yeah. I bet they get on their knees every night and thank God they don't have to face Oakland.
Because you can’t handle the facts? I’ve been a Kentucky fan my entire life. But when why does every other blue blood besides UCLA actually win when it matters? Yes Kentucky went on the historic run with Cal but the last 5 seasons have been a major disappointment to this program
Nobody with a brain is buying your attempts to shred the program with literally every single thread. What rival fan spends their time doing this? Just pathetic.
At this rate, about two years.
Some people used to say that about UK when CM Newton was sitting in the big chair. I don't know if Mitch had single thing to do with it, but our path wasn't exactly bad this year. It just turns out we have a **** for brains coach.
Yes. But OP is HerrosHeroes starts 25 threads a day. I'll continue to call him out for being attention starved
Honestly I don’t know why some people are upset about this post? You act like Kentucky is the only team we can talk about. I love Kentucky but UCONN has been a lot better than this program since 1999 and they have 5 championships to prove that and potentially another. Kentucky was better than UCONN before the 2000’s and I’m not arguing that.
First thread today, not sure why everyone is so pressed about this. I’m stating facts, these are not opinions.
This is the FIRST year in program history they’ve been the number 1 overall seed. Lmao blueblood? I mean, I reckon. 
so what you’re saying is UCONN has won 5 titles without being the top seed? Seems like a blue blood to meThis is the FIRST year in program history they’ve been the number 1 overall seed. Lmao blueblood? I mean, I reckon.
Normally I agree with what you say, but not on this. With the amount of talent that has come through this program over the decades, ONE TITLE in the 21st century (25 years) is not good.
