The tourney is the toughest championship to win. You have to have a combination of luck, skill and get hot at the perfect time. Any day a basketball team can lose to a team they would beat 8/10 times, but in the tourney all you get is that one chance. One bad day of shooting and you’re fricked.

These other programs aren't traveling the same road every year. You can praise them for this year's achievement but everything has to fall into place.
Of course, but you could say the same with Duke over the past 35 years and I don't think anyone would just say that Duke was lucky.

UCLA would have beaten Gonzaga had they not had 2 starters sitting on the bench. Laugh all you want at Tennessee, I enjoy it too, but losing that guard was brutal. I said yesterday before the games that both UCLA and Tennessee would start missing their stars. They did.
When the K-State guard went out for just a moment with an ankle sprain Sparty started to roll over them. He comes back and started delivering dimes again and they are off and running.
Lot of reasons it just ain't your year.
100%
you could end up with a lot of your team involved in a murder somehow for instance and....

You picked the biggest blueblood in basketball. We were discussing offensive teams compared to defensive ones. It's not that you don't have to play both but you have to execute, regardless of strengths.
Musselman had a week to figure it out and they got out hustled and out-coached. You can't possibly think the great divide was a talent issue. UConn might just be the best team but that still wasn't much of an effort.

yeah, again shite happens. sometimes you have 2 starters go down early in the season and it affects your entire gameplan
sometimes a handful of your team helps murder someone and your coach turns a blind eye
sometimes when your coach is cool with players murdering mothers, your fans call it "out-coaching"

I seriously think UConn is the best team in the country. Have thought that all year.

Compared to who? Compared to the big 12? Well, nobody is. Compared to the pac 12? Big 10? Acc? Honestly y’all are probably #2 or #3 out of all the conferences. I would put y’all ahead of those 3 plus the big east, so #2.

Yeah, that was the point.

Were we? I was only discussing offense and how important coaching is to have a good one.

Again, that was my point. Lol.
I'm beginning to understand what AdmiralDuckWad was talking about with you.

I rest my case. We ain't a very good league. Zero elite 8s.

Each of the past three seasons, Arkansas lost to a team in the tournament that I would describe as the best team we've played all year.
Baylor, Duke, now UCONN.

Now need to make it four years in a row.

Or better yet, don't lose.

Two out of the last three years, losing to the eventual national champ before the final four.
Those are some bad seed draws.

These nuts will give you hell but you are correct. Long way to go.

The SEC is very good but not the best.the league has unmatched defense and athleticism. The shooting is what lags behind (on average of course Bama and Mizzou don't lag here)
Meh, I'm not sure about all that. I watch Big East basketball and its like the SEC in football. Their middle of the road teams are better than the rest of America. Go back and look at how many national titles that conference has won. One year 3 of the final four were big east.
