They won't be able to match us next year when we put five 7 footers on the floor at once.

Looks like we have the honor of losing to the eventual national champion.

Picked Bama vs UConn in the Natty on my bracket. Sucks. Feels like if we could have gotten past San Diego St then that would have come true. Bama at their best is the only real threat to UConn imo. Would have been a war...yes I know things didn’t go well in our matchup earlier in the season.

Hey at least I’m going to win my work pool because of UConn. I think it’s like $500.

The blue bloods always mentioned in this sport are Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina and UCLA...but when will UConn ever get the nod?

With how difficult it is to win a title in this sport somehow they find a way to win it in this era very frequently. It’s impressive.

They haven’t won it yet but if they do it’ll be 5 in the last 25 years. 3 in the last 15 years. None of the other blue bloods can claim that I wouldn’t think.

Hell UConn won it all with Kevin Ollie as their HC. Not sure how they keep doing it. This team is stacked.

Rip Hamilton in 99, Okafor in 03, Kemba in 11, Shabazz in 15 and now this group. They are way more than Sanogo but he’s the star.

UCONN’s victory has won me my work bracket challenge. Mathematically impossible for anyone to pass me regardless of what happens Monday night. Thank you, Huskies.

Best theory is they're the northeast powerhouse that Syracuse and st. Johns refuse to be.

Jim larranga is 73. He retires and I wonder if dusty may move to coral gables?

Well, they are actually blue. Just like all the others you listed.
Seems like they should be added

You disagree with the NBA scouts then cause if Ware was close to as skilled as you think he is he would be a top 5 pick this year.


He wasn’t in a program or style that let him showcase his game. Bama will. If he didn’t have talent he wouldn’t have been the #7 overall recruit. He flashed that this year(go watch the UConn game). Clowney was the #79 overall recruit and is going in the first round because Bama’s style let him showcase his skills.

And Jarace Walker is on Houston theyre not exactly a fast paced offensive juggernaut but he is gonna be drafted in the top 10.

What team Ware played on doesn't have anything to do with his draft stock plummeting he just wasn't as good this year as he was billed to be. I’d rather have Traore to be honest. Mainly because Traore is a forward and we need a forward. Ware is a center, we already have two good centers.

Smh! Development is key and so is the proper system.

Ware is super skilled and I guarantee Nate Oats would tell you that he could be used like Clowney if considered to come here.

He's VERSATILE so quit trying to slap a label on him. He's not just a back to the basket guy. He can do multiple things.

Am I the only one who wants SDSU to get crushed next game?

My saltiness gets the better of me for this matchup

They'll probably get crushed by UConn

I mean we lost to both and neither beat us doing anything wrong. I have no animosity towards either, hope its a good game and close.

I kinda agree, I'm still salty on how we got knocked out but it's all good IMO.

I don't want to see a blowout in the champ game

Uconn will be hard to beat. They have players built for the type of game that Bama was not prepared to play. With that being said I hope SDSU wins. I do like the Hurley guy
