Congrats uconn.

[Bayside44]

They got a gift from the committee.

Villanova was an overseeded 2. St. Joe's had UConn dead. So it goes.

 

[AZOrange]

A gift?

They were a 7 seed.

Placed in MSG...come on. With the 2-3 draw against NOVa.

 

[gilardino]

I hate them more than anything. However they know how to get it done in March. 5 final fours in 15 years is quite impressive. They have the best backcourt in the country. Again congrats to our rivals.

 

[Briancuse]

A gift?

They were a 7 seed.

They got to play in msg, how is that not a gift?

 

[HOFCeluck]

A gift?

They were a 7 seed.

And they were pretty much down the entire game vs Joes before forcing OT with like 20 secs to go.

 

[Bayside44]

Placed in MSG...come on. With the 2-3 draw against NOVa.

7 seeds don't make it to the Sweet 16.

 

[longislandcuse]

Anyone who's crying over this, get over it. UCONN is an exciting team and deserved to win today.

How about we win in March/April and stop worrying about what other teams do?

We're about 10 times more talented than UCONN is but they actually have a "team", the pieces fit and they play together. They impose their will on the game and press the issue.

It is what it is. Congrats to them.

 

[Briancuse]

They won't get past Florida

 

[orangehomer]

you need to step away from the keyboard, you are just being weird now.

 

[hoopsupstate]

They already beat Florida.

 

[NKR1978]

A gift?

They were a 7 seed.

A 7 playing two f****** home games to get to the Final Four.

Still, amazing accomplishment. But this whole "stop making fun of uconn" nonsense has to end. Unless they're given a b1g life raft they're still stuck in an absolute mess of a conference. Let them be stuck there.

 

[anglerman]

Congrats to UCON and and to the BE. I can't be the only one that respects the hell out of that program and what they've done. They are also SU's true biggest rival not Georgetown. Even Marsh would admit as much. I will be rooting for them to win it all. GO BE!!

 

[AZOrange]

7 seeds don't make it to the Sweet 16.

Today is a terrible day for humanity. Damn you st. Joes!

 

[cuseguy]

Ollie did a great job with this team. But it all comes down to the play of Napier and Boatright. You need great guards to advance in the dance.

UConn may be in a crap conference, but their history and this run is going to carry the program for several years.

They're not going away.

 

[jvbj01]

Can you consolidate your Uconn threads into one?

Also, how about doing the same with the multiple Mike Hopkins threads?


Just saying....

Whoa. Too far.

What is the BE?

 

[orangenirvana]

Don't congratulate those asshats

I hate his stupid face so much.

This stupid face is now 10-1 in the NCAA's. Absolute stud.

It would be nice to see Syracuse land a great guard who actually likes school.

 

[orange_cream]

Maybe so, but after napier you would take every player on Florida's roster.

Doesn't matter. Guards win in March. Would not be surprised if they win.

 

[iommi]

What else is new?

Wait till those guards are gone...

 

[Briancuse]

Doesn't matter. Guards win in March. Would not be surprised if they win.

And Florida doesn't have good guards

honest to god dude, what is it with your multiple pointless threads within minutes of one another? have a little self control

 

[Col. Bleep]

Gotta give it to UConn.
Solid team.
Napier is terrific.
Strong defense and almost perfect foul shooting.
They just get it done when it counts.
Period.
Would like to see them in the ACC.

Other than that...the only good thing I'll say about them is that they're not G-town.

Oh, so if SU got MSG it wouldn't have been a gift?

We still might be searching for our first title if we didn't get Boston and Albany.
