OSU was looking ahead to UF.Couldn’t have happened to nicer teams Ohio St. and Tennessee.
Just wondering if the Vols fans are using Omar Payne as an excuse for Fulkerson missing from their lineup.
We've been without the heart and soul of the team and best player, Keyonte Johnson, since December.
I saw a little bit of their ranting but it was mostly about their team falling apart overall and complaining about not doing much in the tournaments. Some mess about us having it easy so many times in these tournaments with the big upsets helping us out. A few KY fans harping on that also. You just have to beat what team is in front of you is my motto. No different than anyone else.
not does seem like we luck out more than is normal when it comes to early upsets.
didnt that happen a few years ago? May have been Whites run his second year where we lucked out 2 or 3 times? Honestly can't remember.
Actually it doesn't look like White "lucked up" in his Elite Eight run (We did get the 8 seed in the Sweet 16 that year instead of the 1 seed however) but if you want to call it luck intervening with these big upsets we have lucked up in about 5 tournaments since Donovan took over as coach and 4 of the times were in our last 7 tournaments.
* Only counted an 11 seed if it was the Sweet 16 or later as they beat the 6 seeds about half the time in recent years.
1999: Caught a #14 Weber State in the 2nd game.
2012: Caught a #15 Norfolk State in the 2nd game.
2013: Caught a #15 FL Gulf Coast in the Sweet 16.
2014: Caught a #11 Dayton in the Elite Eight.
2021: Caught a #15 Oral Roberts in the 2nd game.
I remember the FSU fans started whining about a certain team having an easy, if not the easiest path to the national championship back in 2006. One of them posted on Warchant that if UF wins a basketball title, he would start blowing chunks to no end. So I believe the FSU fans started this easy path crap.You can only play and beat whoever is in front of you. I don’t believe in apologizing or making excuses for other higher seeds losing etc. Even if you get favorable matchups you still have to win 6 in a row to win it all. That isn’t easy.
Yeah so it was 2017. Getting 8 seed Wisconsin instead of #1 Villanova and beat Wisconsin by 1 in over time.
I would call that rather lucky.
Just rooting for the two Cinderallas at this point - Oral Roberts and Loyola Maramount. Cant go wrong cheering for the underdog
