Re: Audio : Crean on UNI

You guys are having at least 2 different arguments. Top programs in history? Top current programs?

Probably true. Maybe I should call Indiana elite since it would be good for UNI to beat 2 Elite programs in the span of 9 months!

Wow, not even a cursory compliment of UNI. They REALLY didn't expect to lose this game to us, and it is stinging hard.

Re: Audio : Crean on UNI

i dont consider michigan state or uconn elite.

elite jobs, maybe, but not the blue-bloods

UCLA
NC-Chapel Hill
Kentucky
Indiana
Kansas
Duke

How many schools have defeated a team on this list both this year and last year? Can't be too many.

I had a buddy from the Milwaukee area who went to Crean's camps when he was at Marquette, he said that Crean never seemed like he knew a whole lot, the other coaches there ran all the drills, and wasn't that personable to the campers, he spent most of the time on his cell phone.

Re: Audio : Crean on UNI

Iowa was a good loss for UNI...good wakeup call...we thought we should have won.

Same thing for indiana. This was a good loss and wake up call for them.

Basketball has losses that are good learning experiences....unfortunatley you don't get that luxury in cfb....

Re: Audio : Crean on UNI

I think will all know we should be 10-1 at this point, but we are not. We need to get off that topic.

Re: Audio : Crean on UNI

Michigan state has 8 total final fours 6 since 1999. that is six out of the last 11 final fours. Elite

Duke 15 final fours 4 since 1999. Elite

UCLA is elite I will admit I forgot about 2007-2009 run.

Kansas 13 final fours but only 4 since 1993. Still elite

Kentucky 13 final fours but 0 since 1998. They want to be elite but are living off of the past.

UNC 18 final fours 9 since 1991. That is 9 out of last 19. Elite

UCONN 3 final fours not elite

Cuse 4 final fours not elite

Indiana has been to 8 final fours but only 2 since 1992. Indiana Great great history but not elite.

Panthers 1 sweet sixteen Elite in the hearts of thousands!

You can't have a legitimate discussion with someone who doesn't place Kentucky and Indiana in the elite category.

Elite programs:

UNC - 5 titles
Duke - 4 titles
UCLA - 11 titles
Kentucky - 7 titles
Indiana - 5 titles
Kansas - 3 titles

Almost...
Louisville
Michigan State
Syracuse
UConn

Gonzaga has done nothing to be deemed elite other than be the all time Cinderalla team. The Zags have never advanced past the final four to my knowledge and don't have much of a history past a couple of sweet sixteen runs followed by a final four. We could go to the final four 3 times in the next 10 years and not be considered a top 15-20 program historically.

I hate Iowa, everyone here knows that, and they are a million times more historically relevant than Gonzaga. I hate to rip on that comment it just seemed so out of place.

When did Gonzaga go to a final four? Answer: Never. I recall Morrison balling his eyes out after blowing a 20 point lead vs UCLA but that was a regional final. The Zags are nowhere near an "Elite" program, but MSU is. How many final fours have they been to in the last decade, 7 or 8? That's impressive
