2013-2014 National Championship Recap

by CTBasketball

 

This team shocked everyone, except for us here on the Boneyard. Yes we’ve had our doubters (mainly Charles Barkley and William Shea), but the 2013-2014 Champion Huskies overcame everything. This is just a little recap of the season and our run in March/Early April. I apologize ahead of time for my sarcastic, and at sometimes demeaning tone.

The mojo was strong this postseason. Whatever happened on the court, Boneyarders firmly believe that the mojo played a factor. Now, I’m not downplaying our skill and determination to win, because we were virtually unbeatable in March and Early April (thank you Louisville, for punching us in the esophagus). I hold this national championship run more impressive than the “5 Games in 5 Days” back in the old days of 2011. Just for the memories we beat:

• March 20th – The NCAA Selection Committee thought the Atlantic 10 was the second coming of Jesus. The fact that we beat the tournament champion St Joseph’s and their small grandson/coach hybrid is truly remarkable. It must have been because we played one state over. Yes, that’s it.​
• March 22nd – Villanova sucked, let’s be honest. The Big East is a dumpster fire and Villanova was the only team wearing flame-resistant clothes. The fact that they even showed up was a joke. But in reality, we beat the worst 2 seed in the history of the human race. That’s why we won.​
• March 28th – DeAndre Daniels ruined Iowa State’s season and Dustin Hogue still thinks the letters “HOGUE” are in team. I kid. I am sorry. The fact that he asked DeAndre not to guard each other is laughable. Regardless, we won the game simply because we were playing in Madison Square Garden and Georges Niang was injured. We had absolutely no shot if Niang was there and we played elsewhere. Doomed.​
• March 30th – This was the best game of the tournament in my opinion. But the only reason why we won was because it was played in Madison Square Garden and Keith Appling wasn’t 100%. But in actuality, the fact that President Obama said Michigan State was winning the whole thing doomed them from the start. Thank you, Mr. President for not keeping your promise.​
• April 5th – Oh Florida. When will you learn? Just because you win back-to-back championships because UConn lost both years doesn’t mean you’re better than us. And we proved it twice this season. And by saying this, I fully expect to lose in Gainesville next December. I’m sorry, but I’d rather have trophies.​
• April 7th – Calipari, you acted so gracious in defeat I almost threw up. You were screaming on the inside, but your squid-like face did a good job to cover it up (Like everything else that’s happening at Kentucky). Regardless, we’re better than you. We haven’t lost an NCAA tournament game to the Wildcats since the Big Bang. But the only reason why we won is because we’re better. That’s the real reason.

As an independent internet writer living off of Ramen Noodles and Little Hugs, it is fair to say that this team gave me a reason to believe. I wish Doug Gottlieb would talk down upon me throughout my entire life. This guarantees success. But the 2013-2014 Huskies are just something else. It was a pleasure spending the ride with you all, especially at the games and on the chat rooms. I can’t wait for next winter.
