Damn straight.

Ranking the 23 biggest stories in men's college basketball for our 2023 year-in-review​

There has to be two more important things than Flagg picking dook and Hunter selecting Kansas. Was expecting a UConn dis, but they made the right call

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Lmao 11 is basically "Louisville sucks"

 

[Palatine]

Duke gets a highly rated recruit!!! WOW!!!!!! What an amazing story!!!!!

 

[QDOG5]

Didn't read the first 22 and if UConn wasn't the #1 story I wouldn't have read it at all. It was a mind blowing tourney run.

 

[REB1094]

"What's more, UConn achieved an NCAA record in November by winning 24 straight games by double-digits vs. non-con opponents. That reinforced what a fifth title verified: blue blood status"

 

[willie99]

We trailed for 55 seconds in the tournament? Damn, I don't remember that

I just remember being totally relaxed and smiling throughout

 

[alexd]

Okay - we all knew about the double digit thing, but in the entire NCAA tourney we only trailed for 55 seconds??

 

[87Xfer]

weren't we behind for more than 55 seconds in just the Iona game?

Did you forget about the 1st half of the Iona game? Once that was over the Huskies cruised.

Is that 55 seconds correct? Didn't seem like it. Just looked it up and here's the Play-By-Play of the game. Way more than 55 seconds. Not even close.

I was looking it up as you posted because I had the same reaction. Way more than 55 seconds.

 

[Leebo]

I think it was 55 seconds in the second half of games or something like that.

 

[Blue Blood]

I think it was 55 seconds in the second half of games or something like that.

This is what it is, we trailed at the start of the Iona 2nd half and that was it. We trailed for several minutes when you add up Iona, St Marys and early vs SDSU

 

[BigTenFan]

Unfortunate news to end the year- but Illinois Guard Terrence Shannon suspended for charges of rape.

They only trailed for the initial 15 seconds of the 2nd half against Iona.

Trailed for 38 seconds of the 2nd half against St. Mary's - UConn 70-55 Saint Mary's (Mar 19, 2023) Play-by-Play - ESPN

Never trailed in the 2nd half against Arkansas, Gonzaga, Miami and SDSU. Good times!

So 53 seconds total, which is where the stat must have come from.

 

[MDHuskFan]

#3 with Miller is getting repeated this year with Shannon being suspended on a Rape accusation when he was in Kansas visiting….isn’t this like the 2nd or 3rd accusation there in 2023?

 

[StllH8L8ner]

This made me chuckle:

14. Ed Cooley takes Georgetown job, enraging the Providence fan base

 

[willie99]

As Abe Lincoln once said, "if it's on the internet, it must be true"

So I'm going to pass it on

 

[JB75]

I have to say, that was a pretty good article. Covered everything this past year. Some stuff I forgot. Good read

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Agreed, and all the better that UConn was justly the top story.

The Markquis Nowell highlight video was an extra bonus. He was like a fairy tale character, and I just saw that he's averaged a triple double in the NBA so far: 2 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists.

 

[Travelman6]

Lol @ 14, 13 and especially 11. 11 is the kind-of thing that makes me think, ya, there is karma.
