JC also said he expects everybody to return next year.

Actually he said "if MOST of those kids come back, which I think they will."

Does not really surprise me. Francesa has been very pro UConn since him and JC buried the hatchet i guess you can say. I remember he was all for UConn right from the start in 2004 but Mad Dog kept harping on the FT shooting as en excuse not to take them. Anyone remember when they did a live show from the XL center before the Notre Dame game in 06? Francesa also came back to do another show at the XL before the Pitt game in 2009.

Wasn't that a close game, marcus williams game winner? that 4 loss team had 5 players drafted

Of course it makes sense financially, but I suspect somewhere down the line there's going to be a lot of people who realize it badly damaged the product on the field/court because of the elimination of rivalries and events such as the BET.

Eventually, when major conferences go to 16 or 20 teams they will divide into regional divisions and bring back those rivalries. It's what makes college sports special and I think even the greediest amongst us will figure that out eventually.

Yes it was a very close game that Went into OT. I remember Mike and the Mad Dog killing UConn's performance the next day though saying UConn didnt have enough ways to score. UConn did not play well down the stretch and even though they only had 3 losses going into the tournament, it just didnt feel the same as it did 2 yrs earlier (2004). I remember watching the ESPN Bracketology and mostly everyone picked us to win it but they were very cautiously optimistic. Still no excuse to lose to the team we did. Refuse to mention the name right now. Its bad enough we cant play in this yrs tournament and i dont want to bring back more bad memories.

And they defended them well, not on Josh and Hilton. They made some bankers,throws, prayers you name it ......then both big men couldn't find the ocean in the national semi.......
