I’m so happy for the kid. I can’t stop smiling. It feels like winning the championship again. Thanks Jordan!

I am an NO fan now!! Short flight from TPA and I can drive to Orlando. Now if Zion loses 40 lbs we might have something!!

3 hour drive to NO for me.

Anyone else cry a little bit?

I did. Had to hang up my FT with my brother to “hear what they are saying”

Stuff like this is why I think Johnson will help us this year.

I guess I'm old. When did the lottery go from Top 10 to Top 14?

Anyone who was watching saw it. IMO the biggest change was mental. No more head hanging this year

I hated how the interviewer said "You won a national championship..." without saying "at UConn."

"Birds flying high you know how I feel"

Well if not Atlanta, he's still in a nice nest!

Ok boomer…

He looked good.

Not a bad team to go to.

Its okay, it would have just been redundant anyway.

2004 IIRC when they added Charlotte (right?). I don't think it was ever 10. Pretty sure it was 11

Lottery is all the teams not in the playoffs. 16 teams in the playoffs so…

She sure mentioned Kentucky whenever the chance arose.

Man Whitmore's passing and health must have really turned teams off. Huge discrepancy between his mocks and this.

His dad seems like a guy that has a good head on his shoulders. In Hawks interview his dad was asked what this means to him and he said he was proud but it also means “we got to start all over again.” I gotta feeling he’s going to be a star. Hawks facial expression changed a bit when his dad said that. Let’s go to work kid!

We get really good kids. Most of these kids are good kids but UConn kids tend to be a bit different.

Congrats Jordan!
