Great season but a #1 overall seed shouldn't lose by 8 to anyone, let alone a 7 seed.

Thank you. This is exactly what I'm saying. They lost by double digits to a 7 seed

He's better than Sumlin will be without Manziel.

Better to lose to an 11 than a 15 seed.

And he thinks that Matta is a better coach than Donovan.

Are you claiming Izzo doesn't know hot to win the big ones?
More that UCONN has more going for it in the post-season because they've had so much success in the highest rounds of tourney play and that success has been pretty frequent. (Their last Natty was what 3 years ago?) It just matters, more than it should really, but for some reason it really adds up in higher rounds. Izzo's plenty good, tho.

As a Mizzou and Cubs fan I can emphatically agree with this statement. I don't know why it matters, but it does. It seems like getting over the hump as a program gets harder the more times you've tried and failed. It's got to work the opposite way as well.

Not even close, great season for the Gators!

It's unreal but it does matter even Summitt faced it. And for a while people thought we'd never get over the hump. Once she finally broke what seemed like an unbreakable ceiling (always a great post-season but too often ending at the final four or elite 8), we were in it constantly.
What Summitt did the year she broke the spell was that instead of the usual pre-game practice she took all the LVs out on the court and had them lie down and close their eyes and visualize every play, every scenario, the game itself. The players said years later that the difference it made was that when they played the game for real the next day it was suddenly easier than it had been in years past (when the same players had come up short) because they'd already played it in their minds.
Regardless of how a coach or program gets there, when that dam breaks it breaks. Maybe it's confidence or realizing other teams that came before you did it or maybe it's just some weird magic spell that's cast but it's there. And I do agree with you there does seem to be a bit of trying and failing making it harder to break through.
I'm with ya on not knowing why any of this is the case but it really is.

Note for the future:
Whenever Cheese Grits comes back from watching one of his 28 favorite teams in the Final Four, don't let him get away with the mathematician thing.

What's more pathetic: this thread or you posing as an Arkansas fan to trick people into thinking this troll is just typical Arky behavior?
