What's UConn got to do now to be considered a blue blood? 

 

Asking for a friend.

Wonder what the largest margin ever is for an Elite 8 game. This is a beatdown.

Getting annoyed I’ll no longer be able to crap on Hurley. I enjoyed that. Like a lot.

You see why a double digit seed to make the final four was only +180 I think it was +180. It was -150 to take the no double digit seeds to make FF.

Bobby still around

[You Play to Win the Game]

He did a terrific job this year. A challenging early season schedule where they looked great. Which prepared them to endure a somewhat prolonged mid season lull, only to play their best basketball here down the stretch. They’ve annihilated every opponent in this tournament so far. Super impressive.

Theyve essentially been a blue blood. Like if kansas, duke, nc, and kentucky are ahead I see it just on the sustained legacy. But they are and have been on par with UCLA for awhile now. Unless im missing a program there is another step down to another tier after those 6.

Later Zags!!!

[Pedro Cerrano]

I’d like to thank the Zags for tricking me yet again after fading them all damn year, and on top of it, never coming close in the second half to providing a hedge opportunity. Gonzaga may have squeaked by Pacific or Pepperdine tonight though.

Cmon man. You know better.

It's an identity crisis some of us UConn fans deal with, but it's much ado about nothing.

17 years to the day after Jim Larrañaga led George Mason to the Final Four, he does it again with Miami.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Lol at that Miami team going to the FF coached by a corpse

[B00E00N00]

Your Final Four seeds are: 9,5,5, and 4.
Yeah, who saw that coming.

Fewest combined wins by No. 1 and No. 2 seeds in an NCAA Tournament since expansion to 64 teams in 1985:

2023: 11

2000: 16

1990: 17

2011: 17

2018: 18

A 5 seed hasn’t won the tourney before.

[Pedro Cerrano]

Parity in college hoops is only going to increase.  Get used to tourneys like this IMO

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Sprinkle futures early to mid year if thats the case. To be fair, its been said for awhile now that this was a particularly weak year for top teams.

Yeah, just ask North Carolina.

Speaking of anniversaries, Sunday was the 44th anniversary of Indiana State vs. Michigan State in the 1979 tournament final. That was the game which really started the "March Madness" phenomenon.
