UConn

I won't be that heartbroken about this loss as long as UC makes the tourney. If the cats miss the tourney b/c of a 60 footer it'll be a sad day.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry..

I usually do both at once...makes it easier. Or harder. I don't even know any more.

Wrong. But whatever.

Another who says he's wrong

That article also hinted that he traveled before the shot.

You can thank ville and smu for uc making the play in games this year.

But ask yourself this, is this enough for you? For me, no.

I was just thinking this same thing.

Another that happened today is UConn's RPI went into the top 50 giving UC two more quality wins.

Not sure if KMart was confirmed there but this loss also cut short his time with the team.

Also funny that Kevin Johnson, who has been known in the past for going into freak out mode, is as nails as anyone on the team. He's had several big shots in his career. He had 2 FT @Houston to seal a game as a FR, basically won the USF game at home last year with a string of 2nd half 3s, hit the 3 vs Purdue last year that started the crazy comeback, and had a 3OT shot today that should've been an all-time "onions". Sucks we didn't pull this one out, but our guys have a new perspective that many players NEVER experience...a 4OT BYOG (bring your own guts) slugfest.

I'd be pretty content if they got rid of the whole "first four concept", but as we all know, money trumps all when it comes to the NCAA.

The use of RPI is pretty much a joke, but it'll probably help UC this year.

At least they went back to calling the Round of 64 games the First Round again.

I was saying that after the game how badly I felt for KJ. He should've been the hero instead some jerkoff from UCONN banks in a 62 footer.

 

[Bearcatmatt]

Every time I see that shot because of a replay, my soul dies a little.

Haha but we still won in the 2nd round last year right?

We're heading to the third round! Wait, it's actually the second round jabronis. Don't let CBS fool ya. Glad they got rid of that as well.

I hear ya, but cronin is clearly wrong, and that makes his crying about the refs more absurd.

KJ is primarily in the game for defense, offense is just gravy, and where was he on last play?

I like Cronin, but the incessant whining about the refereeing is garbage.

Does anybody have a good reason for no deberry in the ot periods? That's what i want to know from mick!

Guy hits a three with 0.8 secs left and we're complaining about his defense on a sixty foot heave.

Ellis was playing well defensively and you can't play DeBerry and Ellis together when UConn is playing Hamilton at the 4.

Awareness, he has none. Again he gets bulk of minutes for defense
