Bump.He never should have been to start with, but a large chunk of the fan base was giddy about him.I am seeing chatter about Oweh possibly returning? That can't be right, can it?That's...different.It's being reported now that Iowa's Ben McCollum turned down North Carolina too, which is what pushed them toward Malone. The entire process is reminiscent of UK's. The major names and some lesser names turned down two of the most storied programs ever. Both programs need to evaluate some things, in my opinion.When Momma ain't happy...PreachWhat a shocking development. Who could've ever imagined something like this could happen?BrutalAlready is.The top guy in college basketball.UNC snagged Roy Williams off a Final Four with Kansas. UK landed Calipari two years after a national runner-up.Fan expectations don't help either.Oh, he's definitely got a better resume than Pope. What I mean is that he wasn't UNC's first, second, or third choice at least. Neither program got who they really wanted.Wow, that's hard to believe.UK & UNC both having to hire the leftovers should be eye-opening for both of those traditional blue bloods.I had to Google him. Don't watch the NBA much at all.I enjoyed watching Michigan. The length, effort, and talent impressed me all year.2002 - Maryland (#3) 2003 - Syracuse (#20) 2004 - Connecticut (#5) 2005 - North Carolina (#2) 2006 - Florida (#6) 2007 - Florida (#2) 2008 - Kansas (#1) 2009 - North Carolina (#3) 2010 - Duke (#2) 2011 - Connecticut (#16) 2012 - Kentucky (#1) 2013 - Louisville (#2) 2014 - Connecticut (#25) 2015 - Duke (#6) 2016 - Villanova (#5) 2017 - North Carolina (#3) 2018 - Villanova (#2) 2019 - Virginia (#1) 2021 - Baylor (#2) 2022 - Kansas (#3) 2023 - Connecticut (#4) 2024 - Connecticut (#1) 2025 - Florida (#2) 2026 - Michigan (#3) 21 of the last 24 years now.Interesting that this trend was broken 3 times since KenPom started the rankings in 2002 & Connecticut broke it two of those three times.Two of the Top 6 are in the Final Four, and one of them will eliminate the other on Saturday. Illinois was #7. Connecticut was #12.
