For two straight years we has been THIS CLOSE to a national championship. Unbelievable.

WSU will win a national title under Gregg Marshall.

It's not crazy to think that in the least

[ShockRef]

Henry. Might I mention that if UK wins, you remember what board you're on.

Talk,
This J.O. lives near Cleveland. That explains everything you need to know.

That is all.

Im good with being 39-2 in our last 41 games and the 2 losses came from the last 2 national champions

Disgusting to me. It's just talent and luck. No teamwork. No coaching. Whatever.

We should be here.

One day Doc.. One day..

Well there you have it. Validation mixed with a feeling of being so incredibly robbed

What I look forward to is that we have the coaching, which teaches the teamwork, that will continue to attract better talent and depth.

Did UK have luck. Sure. Some would say we did as well during our shooting flurry against the Zags last year. Doesn't mean we didn't belong, last year and this year and that we couldn't win it all. We certainly didn't fold like mighty Duke did. We were probably one solid scorer off the bench this year away from winning it all this year. We were not robbed.

There is a lot more parity today. Pretty amazing that a 7 and 8 seed are playing for the Championship.

Did I miss the Championship game?

Edit: I guess you mean 2012 and 2013 (and maybe 2014).

It's close enough at this point

No, but it was deceptively in the round of 32, just nobody knew it at the time.

We had our chance to be there and we lost.

No point in being sore losers about it. We gave Kentucky our best shot and came up just short. Kentucky has earned their run.

If we lost to a team without teamwork and coaching, that's on us.

@AndyGlockner: Kentucky's beaten Wichita St, Louisville, Michigan and Wisconsin while allowing 1.23, 1.08, 1.27 and 1.22 PPP. That's nearly impossible.

Whoa. That is actually beyond remarkable.

[Slam21]

NEARLY is the operative word.

[Shockeriffic]

I don't understand why Calipari is scum for exploiting one and done players when he's being completely honest about what he's doing. You don't see him complaining when any of his players leave early like Jim Boeheim. You don't see him try to lower his player's draft stock like Jim Boeheim. You don't see Kentucky players struggle in the NBA because they aren't used to playing real defense like you do with Syracuse players.

Did andrew Harrison step out of bounds on the baseline before passing to Randle?? Looked close on the replay I just saw...

Maybe. But he hit the shot. WSU was the game that got it all rolling. gave UK the idea it could compete with anyone.
