Calling all apologizers

I defer to the Jurrdge, but he doesn't feel like a mojo main course. Maybe a side dish though.

That's what I was suggesting. An appetizer leading down the stretch of the regular season. A fire roasted appetizer.

No. UConn was the 11th best team in the country in efficiency and happened to win the championship.

Or, more simply, they were the one team from the best conference that was built for beating all teams from other conferences, and they demonstrated that before regular season conference play and in the post-season.

A fanboy of Geno, Tom Brady and @upstater every game~!

Something about your last sentence appeals to me.

Seriously. It's not that hard.

The fact that Ollie has been able to keep this team competitive through all this is a testament to his ability as a coach and I for one want no other person leading our program. Is KO perfect, no, but at least I know his teams will always play hard and give it their all.

I suppose we can consider this the second time KO has kept the team playing hard through what's essentially a lost season. That's a good quality to have and speaks to his toughness and ability to get the kids to buy in. Effort is rarely a concern.

He's obviously shown an ability to win on the biggest stage.

What we still need to see going forward is an ability to get the program to a point where it's consistently in contention again. It may be a nice story, but keeping the team playing hard in a year when we don't make the Tournament isn't going to keep us relevant in the long term.

That said, over the last month he's done very well under difficult circumstances, even accounting for the poor quality of competition.

Seriously. It's not that hard.

Surely a less mature man would post "That's what she said." here. But not me, no siree.

 

[Jerry1714]

Well, no, it is not. Uconn wins championship, is promptly rated number 11. That is wrong.

Ha, ok keep trying to slam that round peg into a square hole.

 

[willie99]

oh the irony

 

[HuskyAlum012]

Hey @rex33 I both hate and utterly despise all fans exactly like yourself.

 

[champs99and04]

That is why UConn was where it was, because it was a mediocre team that happened to go on a nice run in March.

I'm a Kenpom backer but this is quite the leap.

The title of this thread alone makes it epic.

After skimmimg this thread, I now think we just might win the National Championship. WINNING!
