    #349: 2024 Season Finale

    #349: 2024 Season Finale

    The season is over, and UConn won the national title easily! Is it 2023 or 2024? 2024, you say? Well, that means the Huskies went back-to-back!
    We look back on the incredible, buzzsaw-esque run of inevitability, particularly the meticulous dismantling of Purdue in the title game. Dan Hurley can coach some ball, folks. 
    We also give Zach Edey and the Boilermakers some love, hat tip to NC State and Alabama, and have a detailed discussion on the WILD week that was in the coaching carousel. 
    Thank you to everyone who tuned in this year - it's been a ton of fun interacting with folks about our beloved college hoops.

Two Parter

1) Although I generally agree with your last point about wanting to see the best teams make the final four, some of the most iconic games/teams were not considered the best teams but still great memories. Nova over Georgetown, NC State over Houston, Fab Five, Melo’s Syracuse, Hayward Butler, etc. Do you think we’re biased to the past or our childhood memories? Are we jaded towards lower seeds due to being locked in the whole season?

2) Bill Simmons says women’s ball is better then men’s because of continuity, the players staying longer so they improve, more time for rivalries to form, etc. I think I agree but what can the men do to get back to the glory days?

P.s. I’m not hating on women’s ball at all, just because one is good doesn’t mean the other has to be worse.

Jim confused about Duke

For Jim to say Duke had “no fun” or was “soulless” this season shows how little he watched Duke. Did you never see Jared McCain grinning ear to ear and giving interviews? The story is how McCain became the soul of this team and made it fun. Sure we expect an upperclassman to do that but that’s the uniqueness of this story. You missed it Jim. Just like most of the media missed Duke surviving upset bids in Week 1 & making the Elite 8.
