Thanks you MF'er!! Short for Mistake Finder, of course.
I didn't see this today either but had seen it earlier in the week and remembered it. Took MD in a few ML parlays as well as Maryland +5 (I bought a point) and Maryland ML. Had a good day thanks to the Terps!
Really appreciate your insight. Been a long time since I've seen you on here...well, I think I saw you post a couple weeks ago but not sure. Always value your plays.
Never knew you were a UConn fan though. They so much reminded me (and I'm sure others) of the Spurs of college basketball. They never repeat and you sort of forget about them and then you start rattling off national champions year by year and whenever you can't think of who won that year you finally go....oh damn, UConn.
Without looking it up, I think they won 3. I know they beat Butler in one of the ugliest games I've ever seen. It was either 2010 or 2011 with Duke beating Butler in the other one. I used to could (people always make fun of me for saying "used to could") rattle off every title winner from about 1957 (UNC) to the present but the last 5-10 years has gotten fuzzy for me. I've only been watching since about 1981 when my Heels lost to Indiana but it's easy with UCLA winning all of those back in the day and then just memorizing a few around them.
I always remember Syracuse in '03 and UNC in "05 so that puts UConn in '04. Florida back to back '06/'07 with Kansas in '08....my Heels again in '09...I'm thinking it was UConn in '99 b/c I know Mich St won it in 2000.
So 1999, 2004, and I'm gonna say 2011. I'm thinking they won one more maybe in '15. I know Calhoun's successor won one but I can't remember what year. I know Carolina won in '17 and Villanova beat them the year before after a huge comeback and Marcus Paige hit one hell of an acrobatic 3-pointer to tie it. One of the greatest shots in UNC history but most won't remember it. The shot after that made me want to throw up.
Sorry for all the rambling. Not really though. Just to somewhat finish, I know Duke was '01 and Maryland '02...Kentucky/Louisville were '12/'13 (sometimes I get that order wrong so that's my guess)...Gonna look it up and see if I can name them all. '14 and '18 aren't coming to me but I think Duke won one in there. 1976-2009 is easy for me. The rest take a lot of effort lol.
Thanks again for the pick!! Hope you post more in the future and I swear I won't ramble on!! Oh, and one of my ML Parlays was Maryland/Iona....I thought the Gaels were gonna pull the upset and give me a huge payout lol
