This last game upset me. (merged with "Delusional"...)

So, I need to vent for a minute or two. I just got off the phone with a good friend of mine who lives in Tennessee for work (we went to UCONN together). He and his wife love the game of basketball and prefer to watch WCBB. They have even attended a few LV games just to watch the game. He told me this story of how he walked into a coffee shop and while waiting in line he overheard a conversation from a few LV fans talking about the UCONN/UNC game. He could not believe his ears when he heard them say the UCONN was "overrated, yet again" and how "UCONN has no team chemistry". The only explanation I have is that these people are delusional (not all LV fans think this way-just want to get that out there). But, c'mon REALLY?!

Of course I had to see how UCONN is matching up statistically against all of Div. 1 WCBB. This is what I found ( I know this info has been posted on previous posts)...

ASSIST TURNOVER RATIO -Uconn 1.53 ranked #1
ASSISTS PER GAME - Uconn 21.0 ranked #1
FIELD GOAL % - Uconn 48.9 ranked #1
FIELD GOAL # DEFENSE - Uconn 30.7 tied ranked #3
SCORING MARGIN - Uconn 35.4 ranked #1
SCORING DEFENSE - Uconn 44.7 ranked #1
REBOUND MARGIN - Uconn 11.5 ranked #8 (playing with a 4-5 guard line up)
...Anyway you get my point! Gee, UCONN sure is overrated, has no team chemistry...we stink!

So did your friend say anything to the delusionites?

No, you were right on the mark with your first impression. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

I saw the same no chemistry crap on the Summitt. I'm not sure where that's coming from. I'll just attribute it to BSS (Ball State Syndrome) and let it slide.

TN is like another planet. Nothing seems to add up to anything but TN. It really blows my mind reading their board and the way they think. Just when you think you everything falls into place, they have another idea completely out of character. No matter how poorly they play, TN fans cant see it. Its only a matter of time before they self distruct and that aint far away.

BSS!!!

He actually responded with "Maybe you should watch a UCONN game first and then watch Tennessee play then reevaluate your statement." Needless to say they just grinned.

Every time I peruse THE SUMMITT I am reminded of....

"Delusional UT Fans." There is a certain amount of redundancy in that term.

UConn has 362 assists against 518 FGs heading into this Cincy game.

Tennessee has 288 assists against 478 FGs.

The difference of 69.9% versus 60% doesn't take into account the number of UConn fast break buckets that originated from a great outlet pass that didn't count as an assist.

In short: shut up.

Did you also hear that the reason UConn wins so much is they don't play anyone and have a weak schedule? I've noticed some posters have started that comment this year, since they have the #1 ranked schedule and RPI. The last few years they haven't. However, I suspect by the end of the year they won't hold that distinction.

Never visited the Summit...any time I get the urge, I lie down until the urge goes away! The braver among us tell me more than I want to know what their fans are spewing...

- Their prescription for optimizing team chemistry has included things like: continued practice after NCAA elimination, barring players from locker rooms, embarrassment in press conferences, and at times requiring payers wash their own uniforms.
-This Laundry Vols formula has made them the #9 team in the country. That’s OK for some, but…
-Consistent Final Four Teams – like UConn – certainly aren’t looking to them for pointers.

You have a need to vent over the third-party report of an overheard anonymous conversation that happened in a coffee shop a thousand miles away.

No judgment here, just an observation.

This is getting scary, Boo. Not more than a day before your post I thought of OOVY for the first time in several years.

Might be a logical extension. UT is the home of the original "body farm", it can't smell too pleasant if you are down wind from that farm

I don't know what you guys had against OOVY. I found him to be entertaining. Weird ... but entertaining.
