They never get the credit but it has perfect weather but San Diego has a terrible sports history. Have they ever had a title? They also had 2 pro sports teams leave. This is actually a pretty big moment for them. 

 

As @muppy is well aware. The big night is here…..eventually. Late start wouldn’t bother me as I’m retired, but I have to be ready for a furniture delivery at 8am. Bad timing!

 

Hoping first for a good game, then if UConn can win it’s the best of everything.

Their fans were booing the Padres over the weekend because the Rockies took a series from them. Tells you all you need to know how desperate they are for a title. 

 

I'm sure many of you know this but do you know who the all time assist leader is for SDSU hoops?

 

 

None other than Tony Gwynn! Who I think was drafted by the SD Clippers in 81.

WOW! That’s a surprising little tidbit.

March Madness is now a concept I can fully grasp.  This week has been great times and being in the Finals there ain't no shame in their game. Im Proud of those kids.

 

Ima just gonna plug in my xanax drip and KEEP CALM

 

who am I kidding lol

 

GO AZTECS

 

on a sidenote I saw the Aztec RB at home games Marshall Faulk a couple times at the old jack murphy stadium. Even in college he was Primo.

This one's in the bag... congrats Huskies!

[muppy]

 U-Conn was the better team the Aztecs just couldn't overcome their height and overall talent.

 

Congrats U-Conn

 

It ended up not being that stressful a game the U-Conn team dominated. 

 

That was overall a fun ride though  🙂

Great run by UConn. Not sure I have seen such a solid team in a while (not really elite— just very balanced). 

[Don Otreply]

For all the Connecticut Bills fans 😁👍

[MasterStrategist]

Congrats to Uconn, and their fans.

 

Hurley did a remarkable job this season.  He's a polarizing coach to non-Husky fans, but his team had a dominant tournament and no question were the best team.

There is a thread for this totally non-Bills, non-football, non-Buffalo, non-WNY, non-NY state who-actually-gives-a-*****-but-gamblers-topic located "off the wall".

Hurley’s brother used to coach the Bulls, so this is related to Naaman Roosevelt.

Sorry muppy. Great run by SDSU. 
 

Crazy to think that over the past 30 years UCONN basketball had won one out of every 6 men’s national championships and the women have won one out of every 3.

Nah men's NCAA hoops is so weak AF it's an offense to put it anywhere near NFL discussion.   No stars.   Results random as those at a dog track.   Perfect vehicle for "gaming" companies to fleece idiots and addicts but that's about it.    @eball has the free real estate but I think he is trying a no crow diet in 2023.   Proud of him.  

Like I said, living rent free in your head, 😂

+2100 to win the tourney. 🤑

Sat next to a couple students from UCONN who made the drive last year to see their team for the first two rounds of the tournament in Buffalo. They seemed like pretty decent down to earth people.

 

They took getting bounced in the first round pretty well and to my surprise still showed up for the second round games.

 

Not a big fan of UCONN but I was happy for those guys at least to be able to experience a championship for their school while actually attending it.

Won my office bracket (out of 15 total people who played). It was, by far, the worst one we've had in 13 years. 

 

Only 3 of us had any Final Four team (I had UCONN reaching the finals). Those odds are pretty out there... that out of 15 people, only THREE got any Final Four team right. No one had them winning it all. 

[Augie]

In the past 12 years the Big East has won 5 National Championships (UConn with 3 and Villanova with 2). The other winners were UNC, Duke, Baylor, Louisville, UVA, Kansas and Kentucky, each with just one win. Pretty awesome showing for the BE.
