Why bother......

keysersosay#1
Playing the tourney at this point as " J Will" as he calls himself, alongwith Coach Greenberg ,have already crowned Uconn the Champs. Uconn is an immovable force , a freight train rolling down the track and nothing and no one can stop it. They are unstoppable and their coach is fantastic...hey He is a very good coach but a complete ahole imo...but nevertheless forget about anyone other than the Huskies cutting down the nets. There..these two guys have saved us all a lot of time and emotional energy.

1. Ball movement, ball movement, ball movement.
2. Transition, transition, transition.(Even on made baskets)
3. Secondary break.
4. Back-door cuts
5. Pounding the ball inside.
6. Attacking the offensive boards.
7. Switching defenses.
8. Forcing offenses baseline into a trap.(My personal favorite)
9. 9-10 man rotation(My 2nd favorite)

Sweet 16 Field Strength

JimmyNaismith
CORRECTION: the total is 53 this year

This tournament so far has been pretty chalky, and a tough field remains. Here is how it ranks since 1985, when the field expanded to 64 teams:
  • #1 (tie): 2009 and 2019 - 3.06 avg seed, total 49. 4 #1s, 4 #2s, 4 #3s, 2 #4s, 1 #5, 1 #12!
  • #3: 1989 - 3.125 avg seed, total 50. 4 #1s, 4 #2s, 3 #3s, 2 #4s, 2 #5s, 1 #11.
  • #4 (tie): 2007 - weakest was a 7-seed. 1-seed FLA won its second straight (good omen for UConn)
  • #4 (tie): 1995 - weakest was a 6-seed. 1-seed UCLA beat our ouster, ARK, in the championship, denying ARK a second-straight.
Of note: 2007 yielded the strongest Elite 8 ever with 4 #1s, 3 #2s, 1 #3 (1.125 avg seed, total 9)
