Shocking

[ShockTalk]

UConn is a missed St. Joe's shot away from losing in the first round and now they're going to be playing in the national championship.

Basketball is stupid. I hate it.

Would you prefer a BCS format?

@lukewinn: Wichita State fans in the Kentucky section. Bold move. Or just in denial. http://twitter.com/lukewinn/status/4...071360/photo/1

For this year it would've been nice.

It's going to be really funny if UK plays UCONN for the title in a year where they were beaten by Florida 3 times. Talk about feeling robbed of a championship. I might even feel a little empathy for the gators if that happens. Heck it would be even worse if they get beat BY UK for the title.

Interesting.

Also be funny because Louisville beat UCONN 3 times including 81-48

Florida lost to a seven seed. Automatically makes them frauds.

Cue up @Rlh04d in 3 .. 2 ...

Only to say he's right ;)

We had a decent team, but nothing nearly good enough. We had a good NCAA run and now we're back to being the generic NIT team.

Why? We wouldn't have been in the Championship game.

Why? We wouldn't have been in the Championship game.

Why not? #2 in coaches, #2 in AP (there isn't a college basketball Harris poll I'm aware of), #4 in the computers (I just looked at the overall composite rankings, I didn't want to pick 6 of the "best" computers.)

Arizona would've been our competition and they're #4, #5, and #2 respectively.

[HenryMuto]

Has a #8 seed ever been favored in the Elite 8, Final 4 and National Championship game ?

If UK wins tonight they will likely be favored in the championship game.

Just like in football, if the polls had any impact on who plays in the championship game, we would not have been #2 in either poll. Big Brother rules.

Unreal another injury why can't it be the other teams getting hurt why is it always us.

Losing Randle would be a crusher.

[ShockerMas]

We would've got Boise State'd right into the Fiesta Bowl...

[HenryMuto]

Not looking good for UK.
