If you're not willing to lick the boot, then really why are you in politics lol? Everything is a cycle of just getting stomped on so why do you want to lose to it over and over, just submit like me, I'm very intelligent.
Second greatest upset in the sport, I would argue. Also, now I get to root for Dawn Staley, who I really like.

This is definitely not a guaranteed L for y'all. Both of our games this season were fiercely competitive, and it's hard beating a team three times. We'll need our A game for sure.

There's no way Mizzou pulls Knox, but it's really funny to think that the fanbase has gone from not caring about the team at all under Kim Anderson to getting the #1 recruit and having another top 10 out of stater at least come visit

I doubt it is an April Fool's thing since apparently MPJ was bugging him a ton to take a visit.

So people are saying this is Gonzaga's first Final Four ever, but I could've sworn that Adam Morrison(? the mustache & mullet guy) played at Gonzaga and that his weird on-court nervous breakdown was in the title game like a decade ago. What am I remembering wrong here?

Pretty sure it's this game which was a 2 point loss in the Elite 8.

e: Oops that was Sweet 16.

That's almost like one of those Mandela Effect things, I've heard a lot of people that thought that moment happened in the final four.

So if UNC wins Monday, this will be the least memorable tournament of the decade. At least if Gonzaga wins, it's the first win by a non Power 5 team since what, UTEP in 66?

It's probably because it's rare to find a moment that iconic in one of the middle rounds. The Sweet 16 has neither the massive upsets of the opening two rounds or the championship stakes of the Final Four.

Decided to look this up for the hell of it. Every tournament winner I found not in the P5/what would become those conferences or Big East:

2014 UConn - AAC
1990 UNLV - Big West
1986 Louisville - Metro
1980 Louisville - Metro
1977 Marquette - Independent
1966 UTEP - Independent
1963 Loyola - Independent
1962 Cincinnati - Missouri Valley
1961 Cincinnati - Missouri Valley
1956 San Francisco - California Basketball Association
1955 San Francisco - California Basketball Association
1954 La Salle - Independent
1950 City College of NY - Metropolitan NY
1947 Holy Cross - Independent
1946 Oklahoma State - Missouri Valley
1945 Oklahoma State - Missouri Valley
1944 Utah - Indepentdent
1943 Wyoming - Mountain States Athletic

It's possible I missed one but I think that's all of them.

e: Duh, missed UConn. Also I thought Oklahoma State was in the Big 6 or whatever it was back then, I guess they were MVC.
