Winning it all is nice and all but …

[Kemba Time]

Does anyone else find themselves already wishing we could watch this team play again today?

This is the first week since before Thanksgiving that I don’t have that little countdown to tip off in my head reminding me to plan the errands and everything else we do around the UConn game, and I already miss it.

Winning a National championship feels amazing, but every win this tournament felt even better just because it meant another chance to see these guys play basketball together again. Such a special group, such a fun season and I’m so thankful that THIS is the team that showed the world of are back.

I plan on watching them again and again. I'll pretend I don't know what is going to happen!

I want the whole team back (well, of course no Hawkins). I didn't love Newton at times, but I've really bought into the big point guard concept and want him back. Alleyne was a big contributor too and had a knack for timely buckets. Sanogo and Jackson goes without saying.

 

[Palatine]

I'm enjoying it right now. I intend to enjoy it until the next NCAA tourney.

You're missing the enjoyment of winning the BE title (either one) Aside from 2014, who did make the BET final, each NC was preceded by some pretty stellar accomplishments that rolled into the NCAA. This was 2011 without the 5 in 5 days, so you are still a bit hungry even though the meal was goirmet perfection.

The early season run was great, but until the NCAA UConn didn't play it's best ball. It lost most of the games vs the top BE contenders and lost in the semis.

While it became clear how good this team could be, we didn't really see it after December until the 2nd half vs Iona.

The withdrawal hit me today about 2pm. I understand. Now we’re kinda in a college basketball free agency period which is entertaining in itself.

Baseball game vs St John’s started at 1 PM. I believe it’s on ESPN3.

 

[superjohn]

Quinnipiac hockey tonight.

 

[metsfan2323]

One thing different about this championship from the past ones is I don't remember this much talk about repeating as champions, that gauntlet has apparently been thrown by Hurley and the challenge accepted by the players.

Season starts in 7 months.

Even day of the national championship game part of me while I was 90% excited for the game that night I was 10% sad that it was gonna be the last game of the year. Amazing season I enjoyed the entire ride

Taking our 18-month-old up for one of the Georgetown games in a couple weeks. Can’t wait.

 

[Waquoit]

Nope. They did their job. They got us through the winter. They get to take a break.

 

[SoFla Steve]

The win was fantastic, but I'm still not ready to let go of this season. Yankees will have to wait a bit longer.

There's still 2024 recruiting news to watch for, I guess.

[Scoe]

Quinnipiac hockey tonight.

Minnesota is a wagon hopefully Quinnipiac can pull it off should motivate UConn to get to the next level.

 

[TheRick]

I want to go back and watch the NIT championship which started it all and then watch each of our NCAA Championship games. All five. That will make for a nice week.

 

[Ratso]

the BE is back

 

[storrsroars]

I'm happy for them, highly interested in off-season moves, but I'm over the NC. It was the mission, it was accomplished. I'm enjoying the new sped-up baseball and the Pirates may actually be interesting enough to get me to September and Mora's next miracle.

 

[willie99]

I plan on watching them again and again. I'll pretend I don't know what is going to happen!

When i do that, I still get angry at the refs and I'm joyous when we win

 

[willie99]

Enjoy the summer people, don't rush anything

It'll be here before you know it

 

[SallyH]

This team was a joy to watch. I'll miss Sanogo and Hawkins for sure.

When they signed Drummond for 11-12 there was definitely a lot of repeat talk. Not sure where they started that year preseason though.

 

[Leebo]

Not sure where they started that year preseason though.

They started the season ranked 4th in both polls, with 2 number 1 votes in the AP.

The last year was personally sad for me. One of the few fun outlets was Husky basketball. I certainly wanted them to win the NC, but I miss the fun of watching them and would’ve felt the same had they lost.
