And kudos to them. They are the only 2 programs to have less McDonald's AA'S than Syracuse, to have more Final 4's during JB'S tenure. Every other program who has achieved more than us in the Tournament has had more McD's than us.

My point being is that we can give credit to those 2 programs without denigrating ours. Tom Izzo and Jim Calhoun are both HOF caliber coaches and Ollie did a fine job this year. And if UConn wins, they will become only the 2nd team ever to win a championship without a McDonald's AA on their roster since the McD game began.

JB has done a HOF job himself during his career. IMHO, based on the talent we have had, he has achieved a great deal over the years. He simply has not over achieved to the degree of UConn and Michigan State - nor have any other programs out there. To make Final 4's and win championships, you have to be good and lucky. We've been good the last 5 years and with a bit more luck, we might have had another final 4 or title to go along with the FF4 we made last year. Hopefully, we get some luck when we're good enough to contend again. Let's Go Orange!
