As the great Brandy sang, “Almost doesn’t count.” This is basketball, not horse shoes.Death, taxes, and UConn in the Final Four, that's what gives. They're still the only program that guarantees a trip to the Final Four every. single. season. Until proven otherwise. One of the most amazing streaks in sports history and why recruits like Crystal Dangerfield, from Tennessee, keep going there...
LOL, look who is calling someone disingenuous. If Kellie went to Final Fours, you’d be the main one complaining. It’s an accomplishment, sure. But again, no one plays for second place. Or 3rd. Or 4th.So disingenuous to dismiss a Final Four season as a failure, even for you. Fans here would absolutely lose their minds if the Lady Vols ever made it back to the Final Four with you leading the parade...
Arkansas had no business being in the tournament with no notable wins and a losing conference record. There were plenty of other teams more deserving of a spot.This is what happens when you have a tournament with 68 teams. I know more fans feel good when their team makes it, but the result is you will have teams playing that just aren't very good being selected.
The SEC teams rebound well but don’t shoot well and also have trouble guarding shooters. The pack it in the paint defense that’s utilized in our league isn’t effective against good offenses. Hopefully the league coaches take notice and improve.
I"m going to partly blame the officiating. They allow entirely too much contact in this league and in part I think hampers offensive development during the season.
I wouldn't have been surprised if Ole Miss and Arkansas lost but those scores are stunning.
