[JohnnyLib2]

2. Congratulations from KY

Where the sun won't shine brightly for awhile.......

4. Hey, they are mostly freshman.

Next year!

3. Midlo called it!!

a banned DUer and major Husky fan.

If I am not mistaken, Kevin Ollie is the second African American coach to cut down the nets, after Georgetown's John Thompson.

5. Nolan Richardson won with Arkansas

when Big Dog was President

[KamaAina]

6. Oh, right.

I forgot about them, 'cause they were kind of a one-year wonder.

But Ollie's still only the third. And he could easily follow in Calhoun's footsteps and win multiple ones.

9. Also Tubby Smith with Kentucky

A really impressive run for Connecticut and Kevin Ollie, though.

[KamaAina]

10. Yup!

Although, again, Ollie is well positioned to win multiple crowns like his predecessor did.

[Elwood P Dowd]

12. His team was not exactly a "one-year wonder".

He had several highly ranked teams at Arkansas

[KamaAina]

13. This whole discussion has gotten me thinking

why is it that AA coaches are more of a rarity today than back in the era of Richardson, Smith, and John Thompson III, among others?!

8. I really don't give a fuck about whether she called it or not.

They won, it's my school, and it was awesome!

[KamaAina]

11. Well, you might have if you'd known her.

And she had them all the way back at the Sweet 16!!

[SoapBox]

7. Good game.

And one big ass crowd...I wonder what the TV audience was...

14. Amazing

Very few teams "come out of nowhere" to win the NCAA Tournament.

UConn has now done it twice in this decade.

Really amazing.
