I'll go one further. I didn't even watch the game for fear it would get out of hand early. And I was right on that part. But, I never in my wildest dreams think this team could pull off that big a comeback against the cats.

Well I'll be darn

No. 1 always gets everyone's best and throw in Tennessee's inexperience with handling the pressure of being no. 1 will make for close games that probably shouldn't be.

Lest we forget that during Rupp's heyday there was very little rules enforcement so, to say Coach Wooden was a cheat is the pot calling the kettle black.

That data is only from 1993. Back in the early days of the tourney only conference championship went to the tourney. So, that is how Rupp developed Kyjelly to the dynasty program it is. So, again if 9 years out of 10 a school is going to the tourney the coaches develop the experience to handle...

So, you're saying that tournament experience isn't necessary? I could hardly Believe that. Gonzaga is a good example of getting tournament experience with winning their conference every year (as Rupp did). Even though they are not usually pressed in the regular season (except accasionally by St...

Not sure that will happen. Florida "says" they just found out about it.

I heard there is an online petition going around.
