Oops.

[RichZ]

Thabeet

Thabeet did not play in this decade.

 

[Austin316]

Don’t forget to vote today vs Kansas (elite eight)

 

[navery12]

Perry Ellis is the first player of the tournament to have played for his school the whole decade

 

[CL82]

So far, so good...

When I voted it was up to 64-36, a few hours ago. Honestly, as much as a Uconn fan as I am, a bit shocked it is nearly 2/3rds votes for Uconn. I really thought it would be closer, more 50/50 or even 55-45 Kansas (just because it is Kansas). That Uconn team, with those 5, is really good though. That would be a dream to see that team (with Giffey coming off the bench to nail 2 or 3 dagger 3s). (Dyson 2010 would qualify off the bench and if 2009-2019 counts as the ten years for the full decade you'd have Aj Price and Adrien off the bench). Hamiliton too.

This is an impressive route over KU

This is an impressive route over KU

Too soon to say that...

If they had Wiggins and Jackson on that team I feel like it would be a different story at least vote wise. Between the teams on paper I believe we win by a comfortable 10-12.

I’m may be completely wrong but given our conference affiliation I feel like there isn’t so much bad blood with UConn basketball as it used to be. Puke is losing to a 7 seed Purdue. If this holds I like are chances against the Toiletmakers.

Being on the Toiletmakers!!!!

 

[Dooooooomed]

Purdue beat Duke????

 

[HooperScooper]

Purdue beat Duke????

Not surprised. As we know all too well there are a lot of people who hate Duke.

[CL82]

So far, so good...

Feel like Purdue has no business being in the Final Four here. Would suck to lose to them.

 

[McLovin]

50/50 split right now....

 

[Travelman6]

***Uconn fans get out and vote, indeed a 50/50 split. Purdue has no business being mentioned in the same breath as Uconn, right what is currently wrong here folks!

With the last five seasons Uconn has had, thrilled they have made it this far though. Normally it would not matter but after the run they've had since the 2014-2015 season, seems national perception has not been hit as bad as we thought, otherwise they would have gone out vs UCLA, Kansas or Gonzaga.

I’d rather win real championships than virtual ones

I want both.

I’d rather win real championships than virtual ones

 

[Waquoit]

I’d rather win real championships than virtual ones

We beat Kansas there as well.

 

[CL82]

Rut roh. 52-48 bad guys

 

[strivefor5]

we’re really losing to purdue, come on let’s turn it around

 

[CardiacAndre7]

It really doesn’t matter at all

 

[EBonz30]

This isn't an actual team. It's our 5 best players from the decade and I can't think of anyone who was left off that's better than Boat

I believe there must be another wrinkle to this, why isn’t Lonzo Ball not on the UCLA team? Something is not adding up?
