Or a hobby.

His hobbies are rooting for mutt sports that are never good at anything and Cardinals baseball(also trash).

Nothing I said is wrong though on the topic :-) You call it the "Flukeacle"(word changed slightly for accuracy) for fucks sake.

And we just pat him on the head as he tries so hard to be relevant, just like his college team.

2008 Kansas gets so much disrespect. Only team on this list with a higher KenPom rating is 2024 UCONN.

Kansas routed that same UNC team in the F4. They even beat the 07 Florida team the year before winning ‘08.

They are one of the 5 best teams of the last 25 years. 100% https://t.co/pSuTFkcVZq

More than Kansas and Duke each have in their whole history.

Blue Blood.

3 different coaches have won a title there, too, which means their success carries over even with coaching changes.

That's a big deal.

ESPN ranked all 85 championship teams.

They had 2008 Kansas at #24. Too low in my opinion.

2024 UConn was slotted at #29.

Look at how hard KenPom boy is trying to sell it though!

I checked to see if my perception of their insanity was accurate... going back to their first NC (UK being slightly cheated for having won at NC the year before), they've obviously doubled up everyone in NCs.

Yet, they've missed the tournament twice as many seasons as the next team.

If you say a season was fairly successful by making it out of the first weekend of the tournament, they don't do that 60% of the time... and besides Villanova, that's an extra 3+ seasons.

And the Final Four is hard, right? Every other team has at least as many FF losses than NCs... well, not UConn, they're 6 for 7 winning it all once they make it that far.

Every other team has a pretty normal downward slope on how difficult it is to win the tournament (besides Duke making the Sweet Sixteen) while UConn has about an equal chance of losing in the 1st weekend or winning a title... :-)

I will take losing in the first round six times and missing the tournament if it meant a championship six times in 25 years.
