You got to have shooters to go with the athletic guards! Texas just doesn't shoot well enough!
Illinois went down. I was somewhat surprised by that. After thoughts UCLA and Syracuse looking good with a chance to make some noise.

Maybe they held the Alamo if they did shoot better. LOL.

Syracuse is a lucky team. Perfect match ups for them and the zone. Boheim is a terrible coach but wins tourney games only b/c teams don't see a zone much all year. That guy can't teach man to man defense which is why he he never wins the biggest games.

They would be joining the ACC a few years after that loss and that entire conference is a murderers row. They still have not completely retooled the program to be a consistent ACC winner.
I know that many Pitt fans were done with Jaime Dixon after that Butler game. It was the beginning of the end of him in Oakland.

Gonzaga looks like the real deal. When exactly did they become a hoops powerhouse? I mostly just remember them as the weird sounding school that former NBA great John Stockton played for.

Looks like UCLA has found a way to turn the calendar back to 1973. Or at least to 1995. They are looking tough thus far. It's been awhile since the Westwood bunch has been relevant in hoops.

Gonzaga is the throwback to a lost era.

UCLA is a pretty polarizing program. There's still some magic there. Fancy uniforms. Westwood. History. It's actually baffling why they aren't more of a national power. Coaches get no time to build anything there. You need to win fast and win big or you're shipped down the 405.

Gene Bartow- 52-9
Gary Cunningham- 50-8
Larry Brown- 42-17
Jim Harrick 192-62
Steve Lavin-145-78
Ben Howland- 233-107
Steve Alford-124-63
The Bruin brass needs to realize that the Wizard is not coming back and no one will ever equal his success. That was a much different era. I doubt that any program could ever dominate like that in men's hoops again.

That's a pretty good UCLA synopsis there. Yeah, coaches there don't tend to last very long. And many of them had pretty darn good records since John Wooden left----

The boosters run the show there. I know a guy who briefly did some athletic fundraising for UCLA. He quit after 6-8 months. Said the entire athletic department is an island from the academic operation and they seem to answer to boosters rather than the president/chancellor.
