What are you talking about? We match up so poorly against Florida. Our strength is our offensive efficiency. Our defense is trash. And Florida has one of the best offenses I've ever seen.

It will take a freaking miracle for UConn to make it out of the first weekend.

Who cares! Go play basketball and root for them to do well! It’s another opportunity to do something special and we should be excited about it.

More proof that the P4 is going to break away. This might be one of the last NCAA tourneys as we know it.

We got 5 out of 11 teams, the sky is not falling. We deserved 5 out of 11. The power schools have 16-18 teams and should get more in. We sent more than the ACC 4 of 18 so why are we complaining. We need to do better in early OOC games as two years in a row the committee has shown favor to those teams that do well in those games.
 
Over on ESPN the guys talked about how ridiculous it is that UNC got in (this time, at the expense of WVU), and then they turned to Jay Bilas.

"We've spent too much time talking about the 35th best team. Let's move on."

I like Bilas, but man he bleeds ACC always.

Focused on OK. BUT if we were to get past Florida(which I think our A game can do) our path is not insurmountable.

Remember we don’t have to beat FL in a 7 game series. Just one game.

We beat them last time they were a 1

Positivity is the only way. If you don’t believe you have no shot. And yes we can look ahead at other possible games. It will have no affect on our game against OK. That’s the fun in the bracket. Lighten up. No one believes anyway. No pressure
Expand ...
I never like looking ahead I didn’t even do that with last years team. Let’s beat OU.

FL is the best team in the country if we beat OK

After watching a bunch of conference championship games, I thought the Gators looked like the best heading into the NCAA tournament and a problematc matchup for UConn, if we get past Oklahoma. They have the quickness, length and athleticism to give us fits. They can flat out play and I fear they'll completely overwhelm us on both ends of the floor.

If by some miracle we do get past them, we'd likeky face SJU, with their relentless style of play, which is our Kryptonite. IMO, it's the worst case scenario. I was hoping we would be put in Dook's region.

Well we dug our own hole so we'll just have to dig out of it.

Is Jay Wright drunk? He just said St. John's will lose in the second round because TT is physical.

Now he picks them for the F4?
Expand ...
They wouldn’t play TT until the sweet 16.

Florida has one of the best offenses in the SEC.

Then don’t. Me on the other hand, I’m already possibly looking past Florida. If we’re going to lose to OU we’re going to lose. There is nothing you or I can do to change that.

Big East was treated fairly outside of Creighton having to play Louisville in Lexington. Last year Big East was royally screwed, it's the only time they've been royally screwed.
 
Funny when I started looking at the CBS Bracket group I have done for the last decade I opened the info tab for StMary v Vandy and they still list Aidan as the St Mary's key player - addition by subtraction?
 
Fla is best team in tournament. All SEC tournament games except one blowouts.
Beat MO by 14. Beat Ala (who beat KY by 19) by 22, Beat Tenn by 9. But UCONN is a blueblood two time returning national champion. GO HUSKIES!!!

No joke Aidan has looked very good of late, I liked him in there with Diarra in the game.

We wouldn't play SJU until the E8 though, so if we get by Florida, we still have a game between StJ, if they even get that far.

They have Tristen Newton as our top player.

If defeat is certain will you die a coward or die with your sword in your hand?

The decision is yours Husky Nation. I want Florida!

Earlier today I told myself Florida will be the 2025 champs. if we beat OK then ... it will take an A game from our starters . AK, Liam, Solo will have to be hot from outside at the same time.
