It’s going to be REALLY HARD for anyone to beat Michigan.  My goodness they look good.

That loss and the '06 Elite Eight loss to LSU are the two I don't think I'll ever get over.

The Elite Eight loss to Miami is in a different category for me.

BTW, Rick has been to three Elite Eights in a row at Tennessee. That's tied for his number of Elite Eight appearances at Texas ('03, '06 and '08),

The UConn big has been unstoppable, be interesting to see if there shooters can take advantage of the defense focusing on him. Duke showing no signs of slowing down, can see why they were the number 1 overall seed the way they are playing offensively so far

Meh freshman mistake at the worst possible time it happens 🤷🏿

Pencil in the UConn men to win the natty imo.  Illinois is a good team, but an unwritten rule is if UConn MBB makes it to the Final Four, they will win the natty.  Luckiest program in college basketball history.

What a great second half between UConn and Duke!

Meat Chicken is the best team left

Beating Michigan or Arizona would be an almost unbelievable amount of luck.

On paper yes but UConn has so much luck on their side.

[ArizonaLonghorn]

As I said several days ago every season that Duke has injury problems prior to the tournament they lose early.  Losing your starting point guard and starting center is tough to overcome.  Both guys came back but were clearly not 100%.

Still, blowing a 15 point half-time lead?  # 1 seeds leading by 15 or more at the half were 134-0 prior to today ...

Great comeback by UConn, tip of the cap to them.

I'm now pulling for Arizona (lol) since Koa Peat is a local high school kid, but expecting three exciting games in the FF.

Anybody else ready for the Masters and then NCAA football?

Although duke gets all the talent I am grateful winning with a lot of freshman is hard.

Thanks for bringing that up. I have spent years trying to forget it. More talent than the final four team.
