    We have beaten a few teams multiple times on our way to a title

    UK, 2011 and 2014 Dook 1999 and 2004 Gonzaga 1999 and 2023 and SD St 2011 and 2023 I call them our lucky charms. And we have one on Thursday and two more possibilities on the horizon. Unfortunately we'd have to play Squid very early in the tournament to take him out again. I love being hated...

    The transfer portal opens today

    More idiocy brought to us by them there academic geniuses that be running the NCAA Now programs may not be accepting NIT bids because it's more important for them to start working the portal The NCAA is insanely stupid. Managerial malpractice

    We're Too Good

    I'm not sure I ever enjoyed a team so much, and God knows we've had some incredible teams. We can shoot, pound, run, bang, play defense, rebound and have multiple guys lead us on any given day. You can't cut the head off this snake, because another one grows back. You can't take away what we do...

    Anyone else love Gus Johnson and Jim Jackson?

    Gus is having fun, a few quirky lines, but I like him. And Jackson doesn't talk all game about how unlucky our opponent is . Refreshing

    The dilemma of the Big East and the dance

    Every game is seemingly good for some team that's not a lock and bad for another team that's not a lock Nova, Hall, St John's, X, PC and even Butler have their eyes on the prize. They all need to win, some more so than others The Champions, Marquette and Creighton are looking good...

    Gonzaga tip time is ugly

    Just entering the schedule into my calendar to avoid conflicts, and I noticed then confirmed the Gonzaga tip is scheduled for 10:00 PM Pacific Time, meaning it's 1:00 AM EST And 10:00 PM local seems late for me I was hoping no worse than 8 PM local, meaning 11 PM for us Maybe something is...

    Do you remember when?

    This board was worried Dan Hurley couldn't win a tournament game? And Seth Davis was all giddy and "wanted to hug the brackets" when he saw we were matched up with Iona? Hahaha Seems like a lifetime ago Back to back baby

    How about over achievers? Or is that too Pollyannaish? :)

    Dove, nothing can replace the dream season The entire dream season team The entire 2010 freshmen class The entire 2023 national champions, especially the transfers Painting with a broad brush I know, but that's a whole lot easier Ray Ray, a first ballot HOF for heaven's sake

    Am I just an over the top homer, or did we just have three great kids drafted

    Hawk, AJ, Adama are seemingly all high character people that work hard and have a great motor Am I wrong? Is this a Hurley thing? I sure hope so

    We needed a fresh banner. 5 for the men 11 for the women All 16 in the last 28 years. The most titles for both the men and women in modern history. And we win both the men and the women on the 4s, that's next season people PS 5-1

    I don’t think enough Big10 teams make the dance

    Maybe if they picked a few more, the conference might actually get a big win Maybe they should have Big10 teams play each other, one would probably win and then they can tell us how great that conference is Pleaaaaaaase One thing going for me in my brackets, I didn't have VA, AZ or Purdue...

    Winning is hard, damn hard

    Watching VA and AZ go down was special. What's funny is when they show the faces of fans in the last two minutes. VA & AZ fans are praying, scared, in disbelief. Furman and Princeton fans are smiling and jubilant, The games weren't over, both favorites were actually leading down the stretch As...

    BET 3, 4 5 & 6 seeds

    Will be really tough games againt really tough opponents. That's assuming Nova is the six seed. If Nova is the seven, the two gets screwed with a tough first round matchup With Moore at full strength and playing well for Nova, there's a fine line between the top six teams in the conference

    Best bets to win ‘most wide-open’ NCAA Tournament ever, from the Las Vegas review

    The NCAA Tournament is less than a month away, and there are still plenty of teams worth a bet to win it all. “Any team 50-1 or less, you can make an argument that they have a chance,” Westgate SuperBook oddsmaker Ed Salmons said. “Out of all the (30) years I’ve done this, this is the most...

    Newton needs to be more involved

    We're a different team when he's active. Four shots, 4 assets and no rebounds, the last one being the most telling We're a much better team when he's engaged. Just good when he's not C'mon Newt, we need you, be the man each and every game. You can do it
