the zone is interesting. i'm surprised illinois did go to a zone, clogg the paint and dare us to shoot 3s. We aint making them so that could be a problem against a team like purdue with edey in the middle.

Terrence Oglesby ( bald guy) who is absolutely fantastic . And our own @RobDauster who built the F68 empire and has provided all us hoop junkies with some great content over last 3 years.
 
Who rooted for UCLA to lose during their run and get beat by underdogs? Everyone.

TO played college ball at Clemson. Dauster does Top Dogs and think was a D3 college player. I like field of 68 outside of Goodman

I didn’t want to mention orange clown shoes while I was giving flowers, but yeah. I like Hansbrough too but we haven’t got too much of him lately. Also like Childress and McNeal.

Me too. Purdue in the finals feels too much like 1999 and we are Duke.

Nah. They were #1 just as long as we were and have the player of the year. Duke had Elton Brand in 99. They’re no glaring underdog.

Why didn’t he get assigned to any UConn games this year? Last year, I remember him calling several games, but this year I can’t recall any.

McNeal was great during Marquette games and BET. I think the show needs Goodman, as hard as he is to stomach at times. He is often drunk, fresh from the tables and they all kindly berate him.

Honestly and hear me out…. It’s a Providence fans fault. Fanta took part in that divine providence documentary and was hoodwinked because he didn’t know a pc troll would be dropping Hitler bombs and speculate on Cooleys cheating, Fanta caught a ton of crap for lending his name to that, and his TV sched seemed to reduce, but even more so , sadly, his dad died suddenly in January and he needed time off too.

THIS is something WE have control over.

Media gonna media

"Resume resume resume!" held on as long as it possibly could, but when we wouldn't lose during the time Clingan was out, and then DC came back, and the "Purdue's body of work" argument had its back broken during that magical week when all kinds of teams lost to unranked opponents on the road except UConn (and Duke, tbh, but they weren't in the Top 10).

But then Uconn lost to Creighton, so media could anoint Houston, and KenPom did the heavy lifting to buttress the new ordering UNTIL Tournament week, when EVERY P5 best team failed to win its conference tourney EXCEPT UConn. So once again, they HAD TO make UConn the overall #1, even if it meant the Committee got boxed into non-credibly claiming that they hadn't just stuck with their pairings already determined before the weekend losses they never imagined would happen as they did. They were too busy working with the bid-stealer disruptions.

Ultimately, no big deal.

And here we are.

Making UConn into Duke is the trap. Media can't help it. It's what they do. But we don't have to take the bait.

Yes, our eyes might find it very attractive to mislabel our experience, but we don't have to act like it's a done deal, as Duke did in 1999.

Purdue's not going to do it. It wouldn't serve them either.

We can instead simply choose to continue to marvel at our lived experience of watching each game as it is played. Seriously, how great has it been!

Hubris does us no favors. It is more than enough to have living, breathing, unfolding joy, and the simply expressed wish for more on Saturday.

I am 'at choice' whether to embrace or suspend fashioning some future narrative telling of comparative history. We all are.

I guess you didn't watch the Women's team regularly.

I hope you got to see "Divine Providence" before it got removed from YouTube. (I assume it hasn't resurfaced). Fanta was wonderful, nowithstanding what's accurately written in the post above.
