They all earned their way there.Florida Atlantic vs San Diego State and Miami vs UConn. That’s got to be by far the worst final four of all time.
Yep.Bama just flat blew one Golden opportunity and after all the upsets had the easy route to the final four and play for the title.
At first glance, you’d think that UConn will win both games by 20Florida Atlantic vs San Diego State and Miami vs UConn. That’s got to be by far the worst final four of all time.
I'm putting all my Monopoly Money on UConn...........At first glance, you’d think that UConn will win both games by 20
A little rough on the team....Bama just shot the ball poorly Friday night....The most under-achieved NCAA appearance based on talent and path of all of Bama's NCAA tournament appearance's. I am still stunned at lack of effort, lack of focus, lack of attitude and lack of coaching. To have played the way the did in 35 of 36 games and just lay a turd in the sweet sixteen is very very dis-appointing. I hope UConn smokes them all.

Bediako does not have the post moves that Kalkbrenner possesses...To win games in the Sweet 16, your best players have to play well and, unfortunately, Miller, Clowney And Quinnerly were 8/38 from the field, 2/16 on threes...The 3 players above had more turnovers than made FGs

I am an Oats fan. But he had to know with a week to prepare a for very good defensive team (defense is really all they could hang their hat on) like SDSU was going to come up with a game plan to get us out of our normal offense and get us uncomfortable. You would think we'd have come up with something to potentially counter this. It reminded me of the 2018 national title game against Clemson. Tua and the offense lived off of the RPO slant passes all season. We had carved up everyone with the slants to that point. Then, in the title game, Clemson had a game plan to stop these RPO slant passes and we got very uncomfortable and had zero answers (16 pts).Speaking the truth is rough most of the time.

I know several on here have mentioned this train of thought too. But I feel like programs such as SDSU, FAU, Princeton, etc. are never the beneficiaries of the transfer portal. It's usually kids from these programs that end up transferring to bigger name schools.I imagine the other number 1 seeds are saying the same thing. The transfer portal is going to keep this trend going in basketball where you have an over abundance of basketball talent out there.
Basketball talent is was more abundant than football talent at the NCAA level. You only have to field 15 players as opposed to other sports. Max 2 deep as opposed to football where you have less talent available per skill position and they aren't as interchangeable. I know it sounds like excuses, but there is just more parity in basketball and going all the way is a once in a lifetime achievement for most teams. There will never be the UCLA and Kentucky dynasties of the past. Never!I know several on here have mentioned this train of thought too.

Yeah, I saw that too. And I believe Creighton is a decent three point shooting team. Definitely much better than 11%.Creighton shot 11% from three just like Alabama did. Awfully disappointing to blow the path that we had on paper, but that SDSU team is there for a reason. Top 15 kenpom team and top 5 defense. Team full of Seniors. Just a tough matchup. A lot of credit to them.
Yep… crazy. And not sure if their 2022 class reflects this or not, but they got arguably the best transfer portal player in Baylor Scheirman (sp)Yeah, I saw that too. And I believe Creighton is a decent three point shooting team. Definitely much better than 11%.
One other note about Creighton...did you know the Bluejays have actually recruited very well over the last several years?
