OT: Kobe rocking UConn gear

[Horatio]

It shouldn't be considered a failure. Final Four is a Final Four. I just don't think people have an appreciation for how hard that is.

But they did a lot of dumb things tonight. And didn't play particularly well. And that's an entirely worthwhile conversation.

100%. That's why I always acknowledge the 2009 men's team. A final four is a major accomplishment in college basketball. They still get a nice banner to hang. It's a disaster
If they lost in the elite eight or less. This is not as horrible as people want it to be. What makes it bad is they were undefeated so that adds to it.

@Jimmy Serrano must be really enjoying this one! A nail biter

Did not watch. Did not care.

The greatest team in all of sports...

Wooden won 10 in 12 years, Geno never came close to that. And if you are talking recently, it's been years since a national championship for Geno, so that does not hold up either.

You must be so broken up today. Thoughts and prayers, Jimmy.

Dude is in his own world.

Leaving Wooden comparisons aside (why even?), that implication is disengenous. It's been three years. Yes, 'years' is technically correct, but you make it sound like it's been a long time.

And the separation is 2 OT FF losses by a total of 4pts.

The only reason I even mentioned those two things is that someone said "Greatest team in all sports", to me that means either they have killed it recently winning titles the past few years, they have not, or if you were to look historically, they would have had the most impressive historical record, for which I would say Wooden would top that. They are a really good team recently, but not the "Greatest team in all of sports".

They won National Championships in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 and went to the Final Four this season and last. They have the two longest winning streaks in basketball history at 111 games and 90 games. A very solid argument can be made for greatest basketball team.
