Yay, now we get to hear that they have 2 championships to our 1 for the next 50 years. Thank god I’ll be dead before then.

They will probably never get close to winning another football title in any of our lifetimes and no matter how much they win at basketball you know that will eat at them

First team to ever win the title starting 5 transfers.

Gayle chokes and misses both FTs but over course Uconn bricks a 3 and it's game over

Helped UConn cover.

Amazing what a real coaching search can do

That was an ugly game by both teams. Not a well played championship game but the best team won.

Moving on to hockey and baseball now.

I would not be optimistic about a Bjork-led coaching search producing fruit

And truck loads of NIL money

And truck loads of NIL money

People talk about recruiting being nil-driven but coaching searches are too now

Michigan definitely is tossing the NIL sink at hoops right now but I think it's pretty clear that May is a far superior coach regardless. Coaching still matters.

yeah its a combination of both for sure, my comment was not to imply that May couldn't coach it was more like with Indiana in football its a combination of the coach and the portal/nil
