That's my recollection. That was a huge break for UWM.Originally Posted by Gato78

UWM smoked Green Bay at Green Bay in the regular season with Sykes and Brown. Injurys are part of the game, everyone has pains playing in March. It's a long year now in the world of college basketball with 31 regular season games.

Irrelevant. The discussion is about the tourney game. Also, I believe Bown was hurt for the other game as well...? Originally Posted by MU/Panther

Is this the part where we pretend UWM was a better team than UW-Green Bay last season?

They did beat them 2 of 3 last year and got the biggest prize, the auto bid to the dance in a win at Wright State. That's like saying UCONN wasn't the best last year. Why play the games then. Originally Posted by MUAlphaBangura

Hey, this is an MU board. Don't expect a lot of Panther love here. At least GB has Wardle. Originally Posted by MU/Panther

No way in hell was UConn the best team last year (finished 8th in final Pomeroy rankings and 6th in final Sagarin ratings). They won six straight games in a single elimination tournament. In their own league, Louisville beat them three times by double figures. Hell, the 2011 UConn national champions were also not the best team (went 9-9 in conference play).

True, but none of that matters because they won the title.

The 2011 Green Bay Packers may have had a better regular season than the 2010 Packers, but it is hard to claim that the former overall was "better" since the latter won the Super Bowl.
This isn't European soccer where the "champion" is determined by regular season performance.
