Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2633776, member: 199"] Can't remember what game it was, but after a Uconn blow-out of a running team, the coach said, 'this is how we have played every game for the last three years, win or lose. What do you want me to tell my team before playing Uconn, that what we do every game is wrong, and that we have to completely change who we are in order to compete with this team? We have a .0001% chance to win the game whatever we do, and probably 0% chance if we try and change what we practice for the last 3 year.' I liked that attitude then, and I respect the SF attitude this game. Yes, maybe they could have held Uconn to under 100 and scored 20 themselves, and would that have been more 'fun' for the players? I doubt it, though maybe it would have been more acceptable to those 'pundits' who never watch the games anyway. The NCAA tournament is for D1 basketball which means you include the champion of every D1 conference, period. And that means you get FGCU taking out a mighty SEC team, and the lowly new Big East going 3-0 in the first round and Quinnipiac taking out 3 teams last year and another this year. And you leave open the posibility for a UMBC in a 1-16 game that has never happened in the 200+ previous iterations of that game. And a Ball State taking out a Tenn! [/QUOTE]
