IMO - Worst team to win National Championship since Villanova won in 1985... You know it's a bad game when Yahoo is promoting how bad Calhoun's pregame speech was the day after the game.
First of all, that Yahoo "story" was just ridiculous. Like that blogger knows anything about the coach, team, players, or program.

Second, what UConn did this year would hardly qualify them as the worst champion ever. They accomplished something no other team ever has, and earned every win.

Since when did a championship become a album review or beauty contest? IT'S A TOURNAMENT! The best team comes out on top by WINNING EVERY GAME. Seems to me they earned it. It ain't about someone's opinion. It's about winning.
If Butler would have made 25% of their shots they would have won the game. Everyone's entitle to an opinion. They won, but they still suck...

Do you think there's no team that UConn couldn't beat? I think they proved otherwise, throughout the season.

I think UConn could beat any team, but at the same time I think nearly any team is capable of beating UConn. UConn executed at the right moments to win, but it wasn't pretty, and if the entire tournament had to be done over I wouldn't be shocked to see a different national champion. However, that's a hypothetical we know will never come to pass.

UConn won 2011 NCAA Division I national championship, and that's the bottom line. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if they won it playing an ugly championship game or not, the point is they won.

+1

Honestly, years from now all a lot of people will remember is that UConn won this year's tournament. Now, will they be airing the championship game on ESPN Classic anytime in the near future? Probably not.

For starters, let's give it up for TEXAS A and M!!!! Now THAT was a great game. (Despite an illegal substituion at the end!)
As for the Butler game here is my take:
Butler's defense caused the poor UCONN shooting percentage.
Butler's shooting caused Butler's shooting percentage. Make a lay up big fella!

I am shocked PastorZack hasn't posted yet. I admit it eases some of the pain of the whipping I witnessed in Collie Station this past fall when the Lady Flames were smoked in the presence of yours truly & Sly Jr.

I saw that. I figured maybe they came out of the timeout early? But, the horn definitely did sound as they were getting ready to put the ball in play & the girl was just running up to the table.

The endline official gave them the STOP sign, but DK waved her in. It is a smart thing to realize that what DK wants, DK gets!! Or you will be stuck doing VIC III games!!!

Oh hey, I forgot to mention that I won this bracket competition. I am Bracket Racket Acket Cket. Yours too Mallet. I only have 2 elite 8 teams correct and I still won. That's right, you all lost to me. You guys obviously don't know anything about college basketball so I don't even know why I'm having a discussion with you.

Sometimes it's best not to post anything.

Occasionally I forget that myself.

picking uconn every year to win the championship does not mean you know anything about college basketball.

I thought I won the bracket. It doesn't matter, this will be another myth championship team after the ncaa is done investigatmg. We'll save room for their own thread right next to the fab five one. Honestly, what do you Uconn fans think about.Calhoun? This.seems like a never ending story

Yeah, you just barely beat me. I picked the most correct games, but the friggin' scoring method gave you the win.

Isn't SCORING how winners are USUALLY defined? As in the team who SCORES more wins? :dontgetit

Isnt he under investigation for improper recruiting practices in steering a potential recruit to the University through a former manager/asipiring agent (or is it improper benefits one of the two) and now the recruit in question is saying that he (Calhoun) lied about it?

Yeah, & I would have won if the rounds were scored the same. Number of correct picks - 1st...total score - 2nd.....now that doesn't add up.
