Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 4622339, member: 2117"] What's funny too is LSU had doubters all year (including myself) since no one really knew how good they were considering their schedule, and they handily beat everyone in the tournament to remove all doubt. They slaughtered 18th ranked Michigan at home, beat Pac-12 champ and 2 seed Utah, beat #1 seed Virginia Tech in the Final Four and handily beat Iowa who was the #2 ranked team entering the tournament. They didn't have a cupcake schedule in the tournament, their only "lucky" matchup was vs Miami, and they didn't have home court advantage outside of the first 2 rounds, plus they had to beat a slew of excellent teams to get the championship. Similar to the UCONN men, they weren't the best team from start to finish but they got hot at the right time and played great basketball to win the title. [/QUOTE]
