The best game to watch in the 2004 tourney is the semi-final against Duke. If not the full game, just the last 3 minutes. Uconn/Calhoun's determination to win and the Duke meltdown are just classic. The shots of Coach K and Duke players are great for all Duke haters. Packer's criticism of Duke shot selection funny as it it never Coach K's fault.
Its because theyve seen what we`ve all seen which is when this team is clicking its the best team in the country and its problably not even close. Unfortunately that team isnt guaranteed to show up on any given night and even when it does its for about 30 minutes while the other 10 are filled with putrid play.
Wheres the negativity and panic in my post? I pointed out my opinion on why the talking heads at BSPN were so high on us and stated facts. They may be facts you dont like but it is what it is. Get over it.
Hate to say it, but I'm assuming you didn't see the Pitt v Duke game two weeks ago. Pitt actually played their game and weren't incompetent at it. But Duke annihilated them by 28 anyway. That was the best I'd seen anyone play this year, and it probably wasn't close.
No but you know what i did see? Uconn beat Alabama by 15 points and more recently Marquette by 15. Duke trouncing Pitt doesnt come close to either of those two wins.
I watched both those games as well, but I'll stick with my post above.
Well maybe theyll play for the national title and itll settle our test of manhood.
i was in the 3rd row under the UConn basket. the memory of Emeka's determination ripping the rebound away from Duke at 25 seconds and scoring is forever seared in my memory. The final over GT - 82-73.
Billy - "tipped by Josh Brown"
In which case, I'll hope you're right!Well maybe theyll play for the national title and itll settle our test of manhood.
Their flaws and failures this season have been greatly exaggerated on this board. That all changes if we lose to Iona. That’d be disastrous. But we have no reason to believe that’s going to happen outside of our PTSDMike DeCourcy ranked the 68 teams in the NCAA Tournament and their ability to win the championship. UConn is #2, behind Alabama. I do find it amusing how the media is much more confident in the Huskies than the average UConn fan is.

I think he picked UConn before the tourney.
He originally picked UConn to beat Duke in the title game. But then he backtracked and said he didn't have enough time to prepare his bracket and said Arizona would beat UConn in the Final Four. Maybe he's back on thr bandwagon.
Best was UConn led most of the game and finished scoring the last 11 points in the last 3 minutes before before Duke hit an almost half court heave at the buzzer to make the final margin one point. It felt like a title game. One of the best UConn games ever to watch.
I meant "UConn trailed most of the game"....
