whitesoxfan101 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Mar 9, 2006 -> 12:49 PM) UNC wasn't exactly stellar on D and often looked a little sloppy as well last year, they did pretty well. Illinois wasn't exactly elite on defense either. In a weak field, I don't see them laying an egg. Their only real flaws are spotty shot selection and free throw shooting. Their domiance on the boards and typically good defense should probably overcome that at least until the Final Four. HEY!! A nice short post from Zoom!! Your one of my fav posters, but man you need to do short and sweet posts like this more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still say I should be getting at least 2 to 1 credit on my post count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoomSlowik Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 (edited) Just thought I'd throw out another interesting nugget that's somewhat related to my last post: The last team that won a National Championship without at least two future NBA players on the roster was the 1988 Kansas squad led by Danny Manning. Something to keep in mind when filling out your brackets, since it probably excludes a couple of teams of note.

ZoomSlowik Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Cuse had the stop, but McNamara traveled while trying to secure the ball. Results in a big 3 by Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Oh wow, McNamara walks because of turning an ankle after having a rebound that coulda caused a foul and gave Syracuse a shot at going up 4. UConn ball with 39 seconds and a fresh 35 on the shot clock. Anderson HITS A THREE!! UConn by 1. First lead for them today. 27 seconds left, TO Cuse.

Not a surprising stat, but an interesting one. I'd be curious to look back and see who was the last team that had less than 3 future pros that won it. Maybe Cuse a few years back? I can't remember if that had anyone that already is in the pros besides Carmelo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Great D, UConn. Mark my words they will not win the tournament. I think Marcus Williams was thinking about which laptop he was going to steal off of pressrow rather than guarding McNamara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think Thurman played in the NBA (he sucked ass though) Williamson of course, and I think that was it for them in terms of NBA players. 40 minutes of hell and Thurman and Williamson playing over their heads hid the lack of talent.

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I mentioned this in the other thread about NIU, but damn. Down 21 with 14 minutes left, only to lose by 1 point. I hate Rob Judson, and the sad part is he saved his job probably by winning the MAC West in the RS. Now I know how you feel Heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
