Seth Davis Final Four Hoop Thoughts

[UConn5]

I love that everyone thinks that MSU just inexplicably chose to shoot nothing but 3's. You really think Izzo saw them chucking 3's and was like "oh im good with that...way to go...keep shooting 3's"? Please. It was our scheme and the execution on D that forced them to shoot from where they shot.

This quote suggests that MSU was shooting all alone in a gym by themselves, and our defense had nothing to do with it.

Did MSU play well? No. Did we have something to do with that? Absolutely.

This all reminds me of my favorite article about the '11 title game. There was little love for the defensive performance in the aftermath of that game either.

boy do they look down on the Nova win. Glossed right over that didn't they. I know Nova was "only" the top#2 seed on the s curve. Had they beaten the Hall in the little east Tourney they probably would have been a 1 seed.

agree...Villanova is getting more disrespected than UConn is. And St Joseph's was under-seeded in my humble estimation ....but who cares ...... they only played UConn

We lost by 33 to Louisville? I wasn't aware of that.
