I think Purdue does exactly what Virginia does and goes from losing to a 16 seed to winning a National Championship. And in the process, they prevent UCONN from winning back to back titles, and thankfully crushing the world's most obnoxious fanbase.
Old friend CL, you have to admit that Conn fans are really untitled as if winning is a birthright if you live in CT. Living herein CT, I see and hear that every day, including from many of my close friends who are Conn graduates. The very tired Storrs South and 6th borough talk gets tedious. Having said that I am rooting for the Conn to win another natty as it helps the Hall and the conference but Pirate Russ has a point. Hurley has created the "us against the world" halo which doesn't sit well with many fans. You guys love it but opposing fans feel differently. You're a smart fan - you have to see and acknowledge that.
Oh, I get it. Hurley would be incredibly unlikable if he wasn't our coach, but he is, so we love the guy. Cam Spencer could well be the most annoying guy on the planet but he backs it up on the court so he's a fan favorite.Old friend CL, you have to admit that Conn fans are really untitled as if winning is a birthright if you live in CT.

Hurley’s “us against the world” attitude, I think, has included the entire BIG EAST most recently, especially with the disrespect the conference received from the NCAA (and inexplicably our commissioner). He’s also won so his attitude is justified.Old friend CL, you have to admit that Conn fans are really untitled as if winning is a birthright if you live in CT.

I cant think of a coach who has made a more positive impression on me during a ff than danny.Oh, I get it. Hurley would be incredibly unlikable if he wasn't our coach, but he is, so we love the guy.

As to the fans, there's no doubt about it that we are a rabid fanbase and our team. my friend, you are just living in the wrong state if you don't want to hear about Connecticut basketball, especially this time of year. Heck, even in my neighborhood here in Jersey Connecticut flags are flying and neighbors are stopping me as I walk my dog to talk about Connecticut. This year's team is special and it's caught the nations attention. That won't always be the case, but it is the case this year.
I think Uconn wins for sure. Will be interesting to see how they call Edey/Clingan -- Clingan gets in foul trouble at times, but Edey is also impossible to ref. It's almost like how Shaq was in the NBA.I think Clingan is quicker than Edey, more athletic and better defensively. Edey might be a bit better offensively in a structured offense.
