I am insanely proud of this Aztec team. They have nothing to feel bad about, even though this probably hurts like hell. This has been a dream the last three weeks.

Seriously could ESPN have picked a less flattering frontpage pic lol Never mind the Mongoloid guffaw, it looks like the Huskies are a bunch of regular-sized guys anchored by like an 8-footer

Northwestern deserved more but I had to have it pointed out to me by a reporter that Mizzou actually did have a one shining second moment, it was like a quarter second shot in a dunk montage. I'm not asking for more than that, I'd just never have seen it unless someone slowed the footage down a whole lot to find it.

Kudos to SDSU, any other year against any other team and I’d have been pulling for you. Hell of a run, and all of your fans have been real class acts down here in Houston.

Even in the blue blood days rarely has a team been as absolutely dominant as UCON has been for this tournament. Just so impressive.

Can a rich booster and their friends finance 15 guys to play ball is a meaningfully different discussion than financing up to 100-ish players.

I think the parity helped them, especially in the Final Four, since they didn’t end up having to play a 1 or 2 seed all tournament. #3 Gonzaga in the finals was the highest they played because #8 Arkansas upset #1 Kansas. Part of the tournament is making sure nobody has the game of their life against you, and reaping the benefits when someone goes off against the team seeding said you’d play next.

The Iowa women showed how far you can get with one elite player and one pretty good player.

Crazy Ted posted:Not even 15 - all you need is about 8 high-quality players to go on a run. Yea, I don't think many teams have a rotation past 8. Extremely lucky teams will have 9 or 10, but sometimes having a rotation that big just means your starters aren't very good.

Kind of wild that one extremely good player isn't even enough to get you to the tournament at times (Ben Simmons, Markelle Fultz and Anthony Edwards all failed to do it, or would have failed to do it had their been a tournament in the latter case).

I know I posted about this before, but in 2020/21 season, ISU had Tyrese Haliburton, a guy drafted 12th in the draft after that year, and they won 2 games all year. They were so very bad.

An underrated program failure is Weber State never winning the Big Sky with Damian Lillard.
