    @Acn it won the tournament. Laetner's shot was not even guarded, nor was the in bound pass. Pitino hall of fame coach - BS!
    Laettner had a guy on him. He made a move to shake the defender, and then hit the turnaround jumper. As for the inbound not being guarded - this was a length of the court pass. You can put the entire team on the baseline if you want, and Grant Hill still gets that pass into Laettner. It's not like the guys on the baseline can mug the guy making an inbounds pass, never mind a baseball toss.

     It's too bad Kentucky fans just can't accept that this game, and it was really a great one on both sides, just came down to a great play at the end.
    Dream on. Pelphrey was guarding Laetner, and he has acknowledged he was told not to make any contact to avoid the foul. He even said he didn't defend the shot. It was nothing more than an uncontested free throw.
    great game no doubt, krywifhvcfjueyivky out coached Pitino. Greatest shot ever? Na.
    No one said greatest shot, it was the greatest play, considering the context of the situation.
    Greatest play was Anthony Davis blocking the final tarheel shot in Rupp.

    I had great seats about 12 rows up from the floor at the 2012 Championship Game where Kentucky beat Kansas - Anthony Davis's last NCAA game before getting drafted to the Hornets.  I was there with our Brisket Camp lawyer Dylan, who's from KY.
    Two great Americans, doing it the right way.

    Maybe I should have listed celebrating Duke's 5th basketball championship as a milestone since my freshman year was Coach K's first year.

    Definitely would have generated more discussion that just sending my youngest off to college.
    No. You should not. Really. Even though Coach K has won his last NCAA TITLE.

    Your youngest to college is far more important.

    @YukonRon, you are probably right on the first point (we'll see.  regardless, it has been a very good run) and definitely right on the second. 

    Good luck to the Cats on the 17th.  I'm pretty sure they are favored that night.

    Hey I am totally joking on here, I like college basketball, but, as odd as it may seem to be as a UK fan, I like football way better than basketball. Trust me, I can take a hit, LOL. I could not tell you who UK plays in basketball, or even the players on the team. Just like having fun on here.
    BTW, coach K's record speaks for itself. Great coach, great program.

    And yes, getting your youngest in college is a great milestone. You should be very proud.

    Yesterday, when this thread was started, my youngest turned 20.  We are finished with the teenage years...not that they were bad.  As kids do these days, he tweeted the following: "I love how in my family a special dinner is one that my mom creates.  Better than any restaurant I know of... #loveit #thanksmama #blessed"

    On the menu last night, his requests:  Filets (Egged, of course), mashed potatoes (garden potatoes), garden green beans, and fresh baked rolls. For dessert, a family favorite chocolate cherry cake.  Delish!

    It's good to see you thinking Kentucky beating the greatest college program that also had the greatest coach ever is the best play.

    It shows a lot of respect to the most elite, especially since they play in the same conference as Duke, which also happens to be the best conference ever.

    @eggcelsior - 5 rings to 2 might suggest that Coach Smith isn't even the best coach in the history of the research triangle area.

    Also got to give mad props to the Wisconsin fans that chanted 38-1 while Karl-Anthony Towns was taking free throws and booed Tyus Jones every time he touched the ball when the Timberwolves and Bucks played a preseason game in Madison.

    It's not all about rings. It would be nice to see them with more head to head time as well as Dean spending his whole career in the 3-point and shot clock era. Hell, he is the reason for the invention of the shot clock.

    Not to mention the sheer numbers of NBA stars that Dean helped mold.

    American Pharoah winning the Breeder's Cup Classic with a track record run.  First Triple Crown winner to get a shot at the Breeder's Cup and what a performance.  Definitely sustained superior performance across the racing calendar.

    True, and Dean is certainly one of the 4-5 people who is legitimately in the discussion and I know you can make a compelling argument to support him, as I'm sure you'd acknowledge that I could make a compelling case for Coach K.  Neither of us is 'wrong' here, although I'm still looking forward to you buying multiple rounds of beer after Duke beats UNC this season.

    Whatever you do don't examine the cause of the collapse. Just examine the period of time in which it happened.

    Man the Bush years were rough on a lot of us!
    No sir, they were not. They were second only to the glory days of "Big Ron". I bought and paid for two homes under Bush. Paid cash to put my wife through dental school. The only ones who may have suffered under Bush were the government dependent.

    I was well on my way to a early retirement and then BAM, the country lost its mind and voted in a muslim loving, gun hating, rainbow painting, tax loving retard.  Now I'm stuck working 7 nights a week, 13 hours a night just to make ends meet. Thanks everyone who voted for this oddball. I hope the rainbows and high taxes warms y'all's heart. 
    Scotty what exactly do you think changed after Obama's election, policy-wise, that suddenly made you have to keep working?  Taxes really haven't been raised, not significantly, except on the ultra wealthy.  
    You are suggesting that Bush caused people to put themselves in a predictably bad situation and that the current administrations policies are the same as the ones you hated? Hmmm
