Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4740368, member: 1414"] Play that tournament 100 times and somebody else wins 98 of them. That’s not true of 2004. In 1999 Duke or UConn would probably win 96 of them in equal measures. Luck includes being matched up against teams that are better or worse for you and getting refs that call games in ways that fit your playstyle. That Louisville team for example. It happens every year that some teams run into a bad matchup. I consider that bad luck. UConn has very bad luck two years ago facing NM State. The Kansas team in 08 was 37-3. They weren’t lucky. They were good. Game was close all game long. Rose missed one of two FTs but that wasn’t any more lucky than Chalmers hitting the 3 to tie it. That Memphis team would have had it vacated anyway. Rose wasn’t eligible. Memphis was better from the line in that game than Kentucky was against UConn in 2014. [/QUOTE]
