Coach Hurley and his wife were right behind the UConn bench last night rooting on Geno and his girls. Not something I ever saw Ollie or JC do during the regular season, if at all.
The only thing that kept them out of the 2020 sweet 16 was COVID. They don't have a title, but they are performing exceptionally well in the NCAAs.
Gonzaga is basketball’s version of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in baseball. They always play well but they cannot win the big one.
You’ve been nothing but a Gonzaga cheerleader since this thread opened. Join the hate train with the rest of us.
I like living in reality, where seven straight sweet sixteens, two title appearances, and four elite eights in the last seven years is lauded. Because that's a damn good run of tournament success. Winning a title is hard. We forget that because our program has been incredibly fortunate.
I get it. They have been a force. It's just fun to poke fun at them though. 18 losses in the last 6 years combined and no hardware to show for it.
Did Geno sit behind UConn’s bench for JC or Ollie ?
It's a fantastic run, and if they won one title, I'd say it would be the second best run in the period aside from Villanova. But without a title, it's just the best non-title run, and they can get behind:
I applaud them, and enjoy watching them, but “America’s team”? I never thought Dallas earned that moniker, let alone Gonzaga.
I mean, I've never once commented on that moniker in this thread. . .
Oh sure, being 12 years older than Geno, no way could Calhoun make a women’s game to root the team on and sit behind the bench next to 85 year old John Toner. Maybe Hurley’s wife watches the recruits games for him and gets him ready for away games. I don’t know who was more jealous of who, but I do know they never exchanged Christmas cards.
It’s literally the thread title.
You know there are subconversations in these things, right? Like, I could respond to someone in this conversation and not be talking about the title. It's Message Board 101: not every post directly addresses the tile.
And I thought you liked reality.
You're describing the Dallas Cowboys.
Fortunate? I think we just had a coach who knew better than most how to win the big one. Was UConn fortunate in 1994?
And the program wasn't fortunate that they picked Calhoun out of all the other coaches they could have hired? Or fortunate that another big time university didn't pick him up before he won. Or that he didn't take the South Carolina job?

TBF, I don't recall off the top of my head when both teams spent a week in the same place back then.
Nice post, to try and weasel out of a stupid comment.
Yeah, I get that or other times when the girls played at Gampel and the men played at the Civic Center. Still though ………
