K.O. on CBS This Morning...this morning

[husky210]

Indeed. And by the same token, IF Donyell hits one of two free throws, and IF UConn isn't matched up with the eventual national champions in 1995 and 2002, and IF Ricky Moore doesn't get hurt against Colgate, and IF Tate George doesn't lose the steal out of bounds with :01 left in 1990, and IF AJ Price doesn't get mixed up with the laptop nonsense and miss 2006....

Or even, how about IF Tyus Edney doesn't hit the layup against Missouri...

UConn has had way more than their fair share of bad luck and bad bounces in their time.

Similarly, you could say what IF Tate doesn't hit "the shot", or Rip doesn't hit the shot against Washington, or whatever...

IF Dyson doesn't get hurt in 09

This is going to be a fun and interesting next few years.

Nice. Missed one.

I'm in Love, with Kevin Ollie.

What-ifs are for the other 67 teams that were in the tournament.

Nice. You sound like KO talking!

 

[uconNYC]

To think PP was earning more than KO.

 

[LoveThemHusky]

I like everything about KO and I hope he stays forever, but not to put a damper on the party, should Brimah not get the 3 pt play vs St. Joe's it's round of 64 and the world is not quite as sunny.

Go back to your home on whore island

But after 10 years and a couple more rings, why not take the challenge and step up? Not concerned he's leaving soon, but if he dominates why not?

To win more titles than Calhoun.

 

[dogpause]

I found it amusing you needed to qualify Villanova as a 2 seed. Every other team stands alone. Villanova? "But Villanova was a 2 seed"!

That's because the words, "Villanova" and "Two Seed" have never been heard together in modern times, and may never be used together in a sentence ever again.

Yup, that's what I was chuckling at. The only reason he put them on the list was because they were a two!

 

[ColoradoUCFan]

Luckily, that was the worst thing Tate would ever do.

Isn't he in jail now? Seems like he may have done something worse than drop that ball in the Duke game.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Nice. Missed one.

This is probably a great thread on its own.

Off the top of my head, I can still see KEA limping against Tennessee, and a ball wedged between backboard and rim in San Antonio, and AJP stopped after 9 minutes in the USan Diego game. Then again, ISU w/Niang is the one game I think may have turned out differently.

Fwiw, I also always imagine Adrien in there for more minutes banging against George Mason & beating them at their own game.

In essence, every NCAA loss is the one that stopped UCONN from thereafter going all the way.

I didn't think that team was going to do much, but damn it was gutting for AJ, after the previous injuries.

Yeah, I know, but the other two I really didn't close the door until those moments.

Tough to say, we held Big 12 POY Ejim to 7 pts and with Niang in Hogue doesn't go off for 30+. It probably would have been more of a game though. Plus Kentucky was supposed to dominate inside and look how that turned out.
