Too bad I think they lose by 15+ tomorrow. Just to add insult to injury
Being in the Big 12 really helped AZ get to the final four.
Could be a really interesting game. Tennessee turns it over a lot, but Michigan is like 260th in forced turnovers. Tennessee might just be able to match up with Michigan, physically, which is where Michigan kills you.
If Tennessee can keep the turnovers respectable, they can win that game.
Five different Big 12 teams in the Final Four over the last seven tournaments, and Arizona could make it five in the title game.
2019 - Texas Tech (runner-up)
2021 - Baylor (champ)
2022 - Kansas (champ)
2025 - Houston (runner-up)
2026 - Arizona (?)

Can you elaborate?
I mean, I would agree the Fizer team was better than any of TJ’s teams.
The team after was really good, but not sure I’d agree it was as good as this year’s team.
But in 5 seasons Larry had 2 NCAA appearances and 3 total wins (a single Elite 8).
In 5 years TJ has had 5 NCAA appearances and 7 total wins ( 3 Sweet 16s).
Are you saying that the Larry era is as good because he had one better team that won 1 extra game 1 time?
Or is it the Big 12 regular season titles? That cuts the margin down considerably, I guess.
So, yeah, doesn’t hold a candle isn’t fair. I’d still say TJ’s 5 year run is clearly better than Larry’s 5 year run.
Yeah, Tennessee took away our pick and roll and locked onto Milan. Without JJ, that did us in. Let's see if Barnes can figure out a magic formula to also shut down a full strength Michigan the same way.
Two regular season titles. An Elite 8, and the best team in ISU history. All while being drunk half of the time.
You are coping hard with your loss.
Nothing in the rules precludes coaches from using performance enhancing substances.
Yeah, I retract the candle comment.
But I stand by the overall better tenure comment.
I would even add I honestly believe Larry was fired in large part because the lack of sustained success. If he was coming off 4 straight tournament teams with a couple more wins I bet it would have saved his job.
**
9 seasons at Iowa, 5 appearance 1 sweet 16, 1 Final 4
24 seasons at AZ, 23 consecutive apprearances, 4 Sweet 16s, 3 Elite 8s, 4 Final 4s & 1 Natty
Patience is key, my friends. Patience
I don’t think it was just coaches.
That whole team was insanely strong and jacked.
Just saying.

I'm so happy that brokedick Iowa team finally lost. Their obnoxious hick fans already aren't going to shut the **** up about this season for the next 30 years. Unprecedented levels of insufferableness would have been reached had they trundled ass-backwards into a Final Four.
