Took them some time, but UK looks as good as anyone right now. They hung right in there in the SEC tourney with Fla.

 

[Carp]

Depending on who leaves, Mich should be #1 next year. Robinson should stick around one more year and they get McGary back.

 

[Simpleton]

LeVert and Stauskus are likely gone, probably Robinson too, along with Morgan of course, that's basically the whole team.

 

[Carp]

Stauskas will leave, but I seriously doubt Levert leaves. Robinson should come back...Walton , Albrecht, Horford, Irvin...and McGary coming back. Far from their whole team.

@JerryHinnen: Kentucky ranked 258th in 3PT% during regular season, shooting .326. 8-of-18 vs. Wichita (.444), 7-of-11 vs. Michigan (.636) (!!!) So it goes

Hell of a tournament so far. Witchita vs UK, Tenn vs Michigan, Arizona vs Wisconsin, UK vs Michigan were all great competitive games.

Can't wait to see if Florida can seal this up. Would be incredible to run 32 in a row while avenging their only 2 losses @UConn and @Wisconsin in the Final Four. Beating Kentucky 4x in a year would be equally as sweet.

Damn...UCONN's guards cause so many issues. Aggressive and so damn impressive.

Good job, good effort Gators.

This is what it looks like when Fla pulls a train on UConn.

 

[Deuce]

For all the shit the AAC gets, they won the Fiesta Bowl and are playing in the MBB Finals in their first year.

 

[VA Cowboy]

UConn wouldn't have beaten Michigan State if this game was played at some random place and not MSG. Florida is going to run a train on this team.

Choo-choo!

 

[Carp]

Wow. Another awesome game with UK. Just time after time they make big plays.

 

[Deuce]

@Mengus22: March 1st, Kentucky loses at South Carolina. A week later, UConn loses by 33 at Louisville. Monday, they play for the title.

 

[Simpleton]

Florida picked a good time to play their worst game of the year.

 

[Carp]

A simple....I was wrong will suffice.

 

[Carp]

Another good game...ugly, but these guys are hustling. UConn makes you play ugly.

 

[Smitty]

Justice is served.

It's kinda amazing how a team like Connecticut can kind of "come out of nowhere" and win four national championships since 1999, whereas teams with pretty good basketball histories like Villanova, Georgetown and Syracuse are stuck at 1, and teams like Pitt, Illinois, Temple, etc, can't even win one.

 

[Deuce]

AAC dominance throughout all major sports.

I thought Caliperi did an awful job in the final minute. They were down two possessions with roughly 40 seconds to play and UConn had the ball and he didn't tell his guys to foul. IIRC, UConn ended up bleeding the clock down to about 20 seconds during that sequence.

Also, he didn't call timeouts down the stretch.

It looked like he was either overwhelmed by the situation or that he'd thrown in the towel; which is surprising given his experience and track record. I thought he looked like the 2nd year coach instead of Ollie.
