kansas will be the first 1 seed to lose to a 16, giving uconn a free pass to the sweet 16

Stud players still go there despite their conference affiliation.

Were you shocked?

Listening to people around here you thought they would have been 6 feet under by now.

yea the uconn bashing is a little ridiculous on here

 

[NKR1978]

Fully expect them to beat Kansas.

They have a system that works and I kind of wish we would emulate.

National Championship, who knows what they do this year, and the #8 recruiting class coming in. I see its quite rough in the AAC.

I hate them more than any team in any sport but that doesn't mean I deny facts

Stop gloating. Congrats on what looks like a win today. Kansas game should be interesting.

Colorado isn't good. UConn has the talent to compete with most teams -- I don't see them beating Kansas though. Just not a good matchup for them with Kansas' size. The problem with Colorado all year is they can't play 40 minutes of good basketball.

The fact is -- UConn hasn't played a "good" team since SMU beat them by 26 3 weeks ago. Kansas is a different animal from what they've seen.

Ollie is an elite recruiter, no doubt about that, he can get whoever he wants to go there. But believe me -- UConn fans aren't pumped that they have Thursday night 9PM games against Tulane.

I'm not gloating, I hate Uconn and had them picked to lose today. Just pointing out the ignorance that said they were cooked and irrelevant and a mid major.

 

[jdubs30]

UConn was favored today boys -- it's not like they beat a #1 seed (at least not yet)

The "shine" from the name will wear off eventually. The program is clining to Ollie at this point. If he ever left for anNBA job -- they'd be in trouble

Suuuuuuuure

Oh dang - uconn's lead cut to three with a minute to go

It helps when the coach offers everybody ranked in the top 100 and doesn't mind finding talent outside of the northeast.

LOL it takes time. This year they had to resort to bringing in 5th year guys. That is not the sign of a strong program. One, maybe. Two? Not so much. Let's not also forget they needed a 60 footer to keep their hopes alive.

 

[Newhouser]

Ollie is the poster boy for succeeding a legend. Let's hope Hop has similar success.

UConn is tough to come back on because they don't miss FT's
