Pissed when I saw we were in the south but relieved when I saw what the Midwest looks like. Mizzou players getting arrested is just a bonus to them not making it.

The selection committee are attention whores this year

haha I was gonna bump this asking, 'does anyone even care'? will be interesting to see the ratings and see if the format of favoring money over results still paid off tonight with two undeserving teams. sadly it probably did.

lol stuart scott actually trying to be complimentary saying 'we all know kentucky is better than an 8 seed and Connecticut is a top 10 program'. the real point is we all also know they aren't the 2 best teams either, not even close.

They're champions. Champions are the best when it matters.

UConn was insane last night. How winning something sweet and being stoked for your school can turn into pillaging and vandalism, beats me.

UConn is stanced to win both Men's/Women's titles this year. Could be pretty crazy again tonight.

uconn lost to smu twice and louisville 3 times, kentucky lost to florida 3 times. the best teams don't always make it to the end but this year wasn't even close. you still get to hang a banner but don't act like this was anything other than the worst championship matchup in the history of the tournament which we knew going into it

You do realize the whole tournament isn't set up to make it so the best team gets to the final? They play one game, how do you expect the best overall team to show that if they dont show up for the one game? If you want better results make it the best of 3-5-7. This is set up for te teams who have the ability to win one game after another. IMO I think it makes it much more exciting. Oh an by the way Kentucky was supposed to be there at the beginning of the year. Not exactly a Cinderella...

Kentucky was the preseason number one iirc. Uconn may have lost to some shit teams in the reg season but the way this kid makes it out to be you'd think the best regular season standings should determine the champ. Some teams are tournament teams. Uconn is one of them.

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at. That Connecticut didn't deserve to win? That all the teams ranked ahead of them did?

Cool story Hansel!

As for the tournament, it was crazy. A 7 and an 8 seed in the finals is ridiculous. Nothing against either of the teams, they both deserved to be there and congrats to Uconn. That being said, there are still some people that had perfect final four and finals picks. Idk how.

Someone sounds butt hurt. Sorry UConn beat a 1,2,3, and 4 seed to make it to the championship, and beat the two teams everyone was picking to win it all in Florida and Michigan State. Sorry it's no contest that UConn is the best college basketball team in the country since '99.

except for all those years they didnt make the tournament, those dont count since the tournament only matters when you win it

Since 1999:

4 National Championships
5 Final Fours
7 Elite Eights

4-0 in National Championships

So what if there were what -- 3 years they didn't make the tournament? Something like that. Name a team that's had more success in the tournament over that time period. UNC hasn't made the tournament every year in that time period either, yet they're universally considered a "Blue Blood."
