Unocal Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 For those of you who like upsets, congratulations We've got an Elite 8 with basically 1 marquee matchup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilbert Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Only UConn has won a championship (4). Gonzaga has been to the title game twice and lost both. Kansas State lost in their only appearance in the title game. Creighton, FAU, Miami, and San Diego State have never made it to the Final Four. Kinda nice not to see a majority of powerhouses this far. 2 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueYankee26 Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 Since I love UConn I do want to see them go all the way but I would not be surprised if they go down to the Zags Quote trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Dont get me wrong, powerhouses are good, but it gets old seeing North Carolina, Duke, UCLA, Kentucky, Gonzaga, Kansas year after year. Variety is the spice of life. Its nice to see a team like a 3 loss Florida Atlantic get this far without being blown out by a powerhouse. 1 Quote Signature intentionally left blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not arguing with you, but I want to watch good, compelling basketball. The tournament has been that, but it could also have been that if it were bluebloods playing. These two are not mutually exclusive. Quote It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is about the teams themselves. If Kansas vs Duke goes 4OT, in the end we're still left with a bad taste because one of those teams is moving on like they always do. Nobody is thinking that if it's two randos like SDSU vs Creighton. Who would hate that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
