Ugh. What a damn piss poor game. I dislike Calhoun and dislike UConn. I guess one of these teams had to win this shit-tacular game.

Agreed and I dislike them as well. However, the run they were on the last few weeks was pretty amazing. They went 9-9 in the Big East during the regular season and finished 9th in the conference. Then the dream run started. I gotta give 'em credit.

My silver lining....a Big East team won it. That's about it.

Scholarships?

POS.

I hate Calhoun. But I hated everyone telling me I had to root for Butler because they were "Indiana". Fuck that shit. Kemba FTW!!!

Plus, neither team wins it with UCONN winning...at least in 10 years.

Maybe, the greatest run in tournament basketball history. 5 games in 5 days to win the BE tournament. Come out the West by defeating two west coast teams to get to the Final Four. Unprecedented. Great job by Calhoun and his leader, Kemba Walker.

It'll be taken away in a few years. That's two tainted championships in 1 year, Auburn and now UCONN.

Sour grapes??? Huskies won the tournament on the floor and overcame huge odds to get there.

Don't forget, duke lost a national championship game with a player in their lineup who admitted taking 2k from a street agent. The dukies kept their victories and their Final Four appearance.

Not sour grapes, I just know a corrupt program when I see one.

I don't understand the purpose of UConn's violations though. At least if Kentucky ends up guilty everyone can see they went out and got the best recruiting classes year in and year out. Calhoun has coached what, eight McDonald's All-Americans in his entire career at UConn? Kentucky has four this coming year alone. Obviously if Calhoun's cheating he could be doing a better job at it.

Before UCONN started this run people were asking which was more difficult...winning the Big East Tournament in 5 straight days or the NCAA Tournament? UCONN did both.

UCONN had 9 losses all year, all in conference play.

You should work for the NCAA, they need all of the help they need.
