Is UConn still going to PK80?

You want an answer? Hmm... let me see.. oh that's right.

P5. Done. Next question.

Nah. Nobody cares about Oklahoma basketball. I'd be willing to bet UConn is a lot more valuable to ESPN as a basketball property than Oklahoma.

It's a combination of the UConn program going through some tough times and them being a program that's been overlooked historically. Some programs get the benefit of the doubt and others don't. Sure, some of it is the conference, but a lot of it transcends the conference. I'd compare us to Louisville or Florida - great programs that for whatever reason don't have the prestige that others do. I'd be willing to bet that the leading factor in that - as it is with Louisville and Florida, for different reasons - is the fan base. Saturated sports market/cold climate/not a huge state to begin with. I do think there was a time where this wasn't as true, but it was more of a novelty then. The thing that happened with Jim Calhoun can only happen once.

Who cares???? I have been watching basketball all day on ESPN and really the only two teams you hear about are Duke and UNC.[/QUOTE
Seems to be a trend..... that has been and will go on for eons.

Obviously, but I'm not sure why anyone is surprised that UConn isn't being mentioned as a headliner given what the last 3 years have been like and who else is in this tournament.


It truly doesn't matter though, anyone who's been watching college basketball for more than those 3 years knows what UConn is all about and don't need a TV ad to remind them anyways.

Heard that Adrian Branch goes out of his way to tout KO (they must have played together) but he also brought up Chill who's been added.

The color guy is for the Utah/UNLV MGM tournament final just specifically hyped UConn and KO/Chill. We can all exhale now.

I'm on the West Coast and I didn't even stay up late enough to see the second half of this game. What time was it on the East Coast, about 2 am?

Probably about when it ended. Game didn't come on until after Maui and I just had it on in the background

Isn’t it 4 years now? Or am I counting wrong. We won in the 2013-2014 season. We’re now in the 2017 2018 season.
