I'm wondering who there is left to listen to on the radio.
SVP is a hack, Russillo a terrible pick up basketball player so he obviously knows nothing about the college game. Dan Patrick is unlistenable. Mike and Mike suck because one's a jets fan and the other is an ND booster. Cowherd is normally unbearable but he praised UConn so he has at least a little credibility. All the shows out of Boston are terrible because it's a pro town and they don't care about college sports. Bilas is normally good because he's been pro-UConn in the past, but he said something negative about the Huskies in March, so he lost all credibility.
Most of these guys have national platforms so they have to be jack of all trades, master of none and most of the trades include pro sports. (though Cowherd has a pretty decent grasp on College football). UConn is a 7 seed, playing out of an "inferior" conference. Fans of teams in the AAC know it is not inferior, but these guys are not counted among fans of the AAC. They see AAC. They see 7 seed. They see 2nd year coach. They see 30 point blow out by Louisville on the last day of the season. They see a non-lottery All-American who leads the team in every major statistical category. It is not a large leap from there to inferiority vs. (oh yeah) THE TOP RANKED TEAM IN THE COUNTRY!!!
UConn has beaten a 10, 2, 3, and 4 seed. There are many reasons to believe UConn can make the championship game, but the odds are certainly not in their favor.
