Creans loses are almost better. Calipari, Boeheim, Ol Roy aren't the easiest coaches to get by either.

Yeah good catch but Virginia was at least in the 3 game against izzo and boehiem I felt iu wasn't really in any of the games against those teams. Just couldn't get over the hump. Virginia had a chance to win their games in the last 5 minutes.

i personally wouldn't call losing to Izzo twice and boehiem last year as flopping in the tournament. I would call it a learning experience coaching against hall of famers. They controlled the game against Syracuse for a big chunk of that game. They picked a bad time to go cold and it cost them

You can't tell me that Virginia should've lost all three of those games. I can understand losing to Izzo one of those years. But Virginia was better than both of those Michigan State teams. They should've won at least one of those two meetings. And Syracuse was a disaster. No way in hell Virginia should've lost that game. Malachi Richardson went crazy in that 2nd half. But that's still no excuse to lose that game

Me neither. I guess he's a writer and a writer friend is his source. 3rd or 4th hand stuff. Interesting anyway.

Yeah I'm not going to get too excited yet. They also said Blackmon was transferring and crean was leaving for Alabama. I think the alabama one was a famous peegs inside source. Lol.

I'm saying it's no shame in losing a high level game against teams that went on to the final 4. Flopping in tournament to me means laying an egg with no chance at winning

I can understand that. But when you've been a 1 or 2 seed each of the last three tournaments and not once been to the Final Four, that's underachieving

That is true as well. I was just stating about the coaches. Those coaches are the ones that find your weakness and attack it. Crean hasnt became one of those guys which bothers me, but also not many do. The Syracuse game seemed closer than the UNC or UK game but all 3 were bad.

Best line of the article:

Crean has won two outright Big Ten titles since 2013, and he’s considered one of the best strategists and development coaches in college basketball.

Maybe in his mind …

Definitely


And this is where we difference in opinion on this subject. I just refuse to relegate college basketball to being a one month sport and march only matters. I have too many friends who are casual fans and will call me around march to see who is who in basketball for the year ( or they pay entry fees for brackets and I give my picks and then split the winnings). I love the grind of a basketball season and refuse to believe that if u run into a bad matchup in the tournament your a failure. Virginia and Bennett won back to back titles in the ACC and a ACC tourney title against 4 other hall of famers. In my opinion that is not underachieving. Anything can happen in a single elimination tournament. That what makes the NCAA tournament the best sporting event on the planet. Just my opinion

And you can have that opinion. I don't discredit regular seasons that involve conference championships or conference tournament championships. But when it comes down to it, the NCAA tournament is what matters

People don't remember who won conference titles. They remember the ncaa.
