UCONN showing the world what Blue Blood college basketball is all about.

Gonzaga is so close...yet so far away from being a blue blood. Still a mid major after all these years.

---

Or it's their worst team in years and they still made the elite 8. That's as blue blood as it gets

---

If you've never won the National Title then you aint a Blue Blood.
It takes more than two Final Fours to consider yourself a Blue Blood program.

Blue Blood isn't about being pretty good.
True Blue Blood programs have sustained success over more than just one coach.

UCONN and Michigan St are Blue Blood basketball programs. Gonzaga is still a pretender after all these years. Two Final Fours aint gonna cut it.

This is UCONN's 5th Final Four since 2000. Michigan St has been to 7 Final Fours since 2000. Each of those schools has won it all.
Multiple coaches have taken UCONN to the Final Four.

Yet you made a strong statement about "blue blood basketball" because Gonzaga lost to a superior opponent in what is a massive down year for them

If Gonzaga is a pretender after the last 15 years I want to be a pretender too!

Gonzaga is new blood. Next 4 out.
UCONN is true blood. First 4 out.
4 blue bloods have recent and historical success.

Losing in final to Baylor didn't do Few any favors. And the run to build the program would not have been tolerated at Kansas, Kentucky, or UNC imho.

But would I take it? Absolutely. Would all of y'all be patient for that nope.

Gonzaga is not a true blue blood.
You gotta have more Final Fours. You had to have won your last game of the season at least once.

They are in the real good/above average category......but Blue Blood? Nah.

I double take every time I'm reminded that Purdue — in a state where basketball is religion, the alma mater of John Wooden, the stomping grounds of Gene Keady, the home of Glenn "Big Dog" Robinson — has never won the NCAA Tournament.

The school is legit cursed at this point. pic.twitter.com/oU4JXk1ZsU

Doesn't seem to matter.

It rarely does. I'm always entertained by the Aggies stomping their feet about results because of "our resources." Sorry for the derail. Carry on.

When's the last time a team won its Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games both by 20+ points? Gotta be some kinda record, UcOnn beat Ark by 23 points and Gonzaga by 28.

Keep stomping?!?

Or maybe stomp louder or change to a different stomp cadence.

As I've mentioned: my freshman year was the 1980 run to the S16. I thought it was always going to be like that!!!

SDSU or Creighton? This is gonna be an interesting clash of styles here

SDSU. They're deeper and I think their style of play offensively and defensively will wear Creighton down.

I'm going SDSU.....I'd run full-court press on SDSU all day though.

I worry about Creighton's legs a bit in this one

If they can take advantage of Kalkbrenner's size advantage they can stay in this one and win it

Yeah if Creighton can just stay in the fight until late then I like their chances. I feel like they might get stormed in the middle half of the game though

It doesn't mean a thing without the ring.

You fail to grasp the distinction of what makes a Blue Blood program. Part of that distinction is winning Championships (plural).

Sweet 16's are great.....but they don't give out trophy's for Sweet 16's.

They do give out banners for Finals Four.....and Gonzaga would need to get up to about 5 or 6 Final Fours to just be in the conversation without a title to back it up. The two FF they currently have is not enough.

I dunno if this is a good game but it's a fun one

I just read a story that 3 of UCONN's players were fasting yesterday. Two including HD (former Ag) don't get much playing time but must be tough for their center who plays a very physical position. I know other athletes do it, but still seems hard to do.

Obvious hook and hold. This shouldnt take long

I really hate reviewing the time with like 35 seconds left

Well that was the worst play ever.

Lol that was wild

Yeah that was the right call all the way around. If there's any complaint it's that he actually fouled him earlier in the play so they should have been shooting one and one and he missed the first one.

make up call here and give creighton a chance to shoot?

I HATE throwing it the length of the court in that situation.

That in bounds pass was so deep. I would think most teams would have plays for every increment of time and score they practice

I hate a review coming down to which finger nail last touched the ball.

That's gotta be SDSU ball right?
