I can truthfully say that I will be happy for any remaining team not named UConn to win it all. A petty beggar’s choice perhaps.
One, KU is tied with UConn at 4 NCAA titles right now, and I’d selfishly like to see it stay that way, especially as…
Two, back in the day we had a UConn ringer here who was a pretty obnoxious poster, and he soured me on UConn in spite of the fact that I liked and respected Jim Calhoun (and still do).
Yeah, it’s a little petty to hold such a grudge I reckon, but I do, so I guess I *am* a little petty on this topic.
I can live with that… easier than I’ll live with UConn winning it all again for the 5th time in just 6 Final Fours, compared to our beloved Jayhawks having only 4 in 16 Final Fours (.250 W/appearances), despite making the title game 10 times!
Among programs with 3 or more NCAAT titles, only Duke (5/17 = .294), UNC (6/21 = .286) and KU have sub .400 records when it comes to making the Final Four and sealing the deal with the title. UConn (4/5 so far), UCLA (11/18), IU (5/8, including 2 v Phog) and Villanova (3/6) are all above .500, and UK (8/17) is just 1 loss under .500.
I’d really love to see Bill & KU succeed to the point that our Jayhawks are no longer on the bottom of that select list.
