Congrats, Huskies!

If anyone wants some hilarious reading, please go back to the 2019 UConn/BE threads on the other site; so funny to read the number of posters that were adamant that 1) UConn Basketball was not returning to its high historical levels 2) UConn Football would never reach a bowl game as an Independent 3) AAC Basketball will be better off without UConn and 4) (my favorite) that if UConn hated travel to places like Dallas and Wichita so much, they're gonna love going to Omaha.

Welp, that program in Omaha is playing for a Final Four appearance today, so I'm pretty sure they're fine with them haha.

Nothing brings more crazies out of the shed than UConn/Realignment talk haha.

If the Huskies win two more, they'll be the national champion with their only losses coming in the league. That will also be true if they lose to the Jays in the NC game. Incredible league we have here, and it's only going to get better.

Some similarities to the 2018 Nova team. Both smacked down a Top 10 Gonzaga team on a neutral court. Both pounded teams in the tourney. Both failed to win the RS conf title. The narrative very well can end up being the same : “Best team in the country…2nd best team in the BE (or 4th in this case).

I think you guys want to root for Miami today. As X found out UT is a tough out.

Yeah, plus getting Texas in Houston wouldn't be ideal IMO.

Definitely agree it would be nice to avoid playing Texas at Texas. But Miami is TOUGH to.

At the end of the day it's the Final Four. They'll be fans from all over the place. UConn fans have traveled well in the past to previous F4 and they will do so this time around also. They also have the benefit of a 24 hour head start on getting to the game. I read of fans buying flights left and right since late last night.

JUST... KEEP... WINNING!

Hawkins shooting for the last month has been otherworldly. His release is so quick and ever shot looks like it’s going in as soon as it leaves his Hans. And Sanogo has suddenly developed a passing game, which makes him more of a threat.
