lol same

 

[Chief00]

Pretty silly excluding us despite our poor year.

 

[pj]

In that same period UConn has 411 wins and 3 national championships.

That's like excluding the Patriots from the best teams since the turn of the century.

 

[Horatio]

In that same period UConn has 411 wins and 3 national championships.

+ one final four in 09

None of them have 5 FF's and only 1 other has 3 national titles? Paul (Dumbo Ears) Finnebaum is also the same guy who called out Randy Edsall for taking that kids scholarship away when he was rehired on ESPN, but said it was the only thing Jim Harbaugh could do when he did the same thing.

What's this 's problem with UConn?

Geno! He's a Tennessee graduate.

We've certainly had our fair share of ups and downs, but our lows seem to be lower than anyone on this list.

• Duke (500-117, 0.810) has never missed the tournament in that time period.
• Florida (436-184, 0.703) has missed the tournament 3 times, and went to the NIT otherwise. 7 times they went to the Sweet 16 or further.
• Kansas (504-97, 0.834) has been to the Sweet 16 11 times. Never missed the tournament.
• UK (465-139, 0.769) has missed the tournament twice, both years went to the NIT. Made it to the Sweet Sixteen or further 10 times.
• UNC (447-151, 0.747) has missed the tournament 3 times. Sweet Sixteen or better 8 times.
• UCLA (383-191, 0.667) has missed the tournament 5 times. Sweet Sixteen or better 8 times.
• UCONN (411-163, 0.716) has missed the tournament 6 times and has made it past the Sweet Sixteen or better 7 times.

So basically UCLA doesn't belong on this list. They did it because Lonzo Ball is the 2016/2017 ESPN college golden boy.

This is how it starts. The public and media have short term memories. A few more years of this is all it takes.

This isn't media he's an SEC puppet/tool! No one cares what he says, it's people like this that make ESPN a joke for giving him time on the air.

"......notable programs since 2000-01"

Yeah that makes sense Paul..LOL dope

FAKE NEWS

 

[Horatio]

IMO apr/ scholarship restrictions , a new conference and George Mason kept us from
Being the undisputed King of the Blue Bloods.

 

[Chief00]

He's not a basketball guy and is pretty clueless about that sport. He generally is obsessed with SEC Football, which is fine. He went into unfamiliar territory.

 

[Ha Who]

Life as a mid-major

 

[Drumguy]

Life as a mid-major

My thoughts as well, can't include us since we're not a P5 school.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Can't wait for more ESPN layoffs.

He sounds a lot like a casual fan.

 

[nomar]

So he should have written Notable College Basketball Programs, Since 2000-01

 

[Waquoit]

Let me get this straight. He leaves UConn of the list of best programs since the turn off the century because of their record in the previous century. That's some prime southern logic right there.

I'm not allowed to make a statement about red state intelligence -- correct? I'll refrain.

 

[selles]

Someone should ask Paul how many football scholarship offers those teams pulled combined before UConn pulled one.
