Tulsa 23 - Uconn 19 and Wyoming

[hoopsupstate]

The only good thing about UCONN making the tournament, it will probably knock out Indiana. They're the last team in right now!

Your priorities are jacked up.

Not sure what this means but you also have to factor in that I have next to zero respect for the way CBB crowns a champion. If you're a Kentucky, Duke or UVA who dominated all year and wins the title, you're the champion in my eyes. If you're some random team who didn't get a protected seed and gets hot while catching a bunch of breaks, no, you're not a champion, you got lucky in a tournament.

UConn has the rings you gotta respect, but that team has to be luckiest program I have seen. They are have a horseshoe stuck up there arse. It is amazing how they win these sloppy low scoring games time after time and set basketball back to the pre-shot clock era.

They play terrible basketball and rely on a guard who hits clutch shots at the end.

I'm sure the same could be said for us -- especially the last 2 years, but they do have the clutch guard that we simply don't have right now. It must be really weird though to be them and be that nuts over a huge conference tourney win again...TULSA..at home. Let that sink in...not Syracuse, not Georgetown, not Villanova, not Louisville etc ....Tulsa, to be capped off with SMU. It's pretty funny.

So who win the title in 2003, Kentucky or Arizona?

That was just a pathetic basketball game, if UConn had been playing a quality team they lose by double digits easily. The score was 42-34 Tulsa with a little over 3 minutes left in the game. No way Tulsa should be dancing...they are not a tourney team and couldn't have demonstrated it any louder this afternoon!

We were good in 2003, protected seed with the best player in America. Re-read what I wrote.

We weren't a dominant team, we certainly caught a break playing in Boston and Albany. Fake champion if you ask me.

Haha ok. If you think our '03 team was comparable to last years UCONN in terms of Championship worthiness, go ahead.

It's your criteria, not mine.

It's actually not since I specifically mentioned "protected seed" also your avatar is unintentionally making me irate so agree to disagree so I don't have to keep replying to a picture of Emmert lol.

I take it you won't celebrate if/when non protected seed Syracuse wins a national title, because, you know, not a real champ.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Fake champion LOL.

I agree.

 

[MSOrange]

Wyoming wins! My mom's alma mater is going to the Big Dance. I have something to cheer for now!

Oh, I'll celebrate but I won't pretend we were the best team. I'm not joking when I say the NCAA Tournament is a joke. I love watching it from a casual fan standpoint, hate it as a means to crowning a Champion.

Who did Wyoming just Over?

Ole Miss? Texas? BYU? Temple? Boise St? Purdue? They are all very close.

That group seemed to have just a bit of separation to UCLA, Miami, Texas AM if you beleived the bracket Matrix. So the next team to deop will be interesting. I am thinking it will be either Ole Miss or Texas.

I'm thinking Texas but I agree - Ole Miss would be my second guess. I think Temple, BYU and Purdue did enough in the their conference tourneys to hang on.

 

[rrlbees]

I agree.

I'm sure you think it's fake. Not surprised. We beat two #1's and a #2. You probably think Boston is in NYS too. 6 hours. Check how many teams have played multiple times in their home state. Mainly Duke and UNC. Big deal we had 2 games in NYS. How many times have we been knocked out playing a team in their backyards? That was far from a fake championship.

What are you taking about?

This is not where I thought my thread would head when I started it!!

You saying our championship was fake. Unless you were just trying to jerk LI around. Then I take it back.

Yeah I think the context was obvious.

Damn, UConn 43 Tulsa 42, one minute to go. They were down 40-31 I believe, so a 12-2 run.

Tulsa coach Haith is an idiot. Up 10 with 6 minutes and all the momentum he goes stall running clock down to 5 seconds and then of course his team turns it over or takes a desperation bad shot on 3 straight possessions while UConn scores on the other end. Bad move.
