That just about sums up the Bunch of Chieftans run to the title as the Kentucky Wildcats pulled out two big wins en route to the Championship Game only to fall to the talented and driven Huskies who took down their fourth National Championship. If you missed One Shining Moment last night you can find it here.
Records for Most Wins [16], Most Teams in Final Four [3], Most Wins in Regional Finals [5] set the record books back for years.
Let's take a look back at the Morning Line Prognosticator and see if he said anything valid:
"It was trial by fire for the newcomer, but he held his own and has the top seed in the tourney (1-Florida) who could waltz right through this thing for 6 wins which is halfway home in most years. 8-Kentucky could awaken at any moment and go on a run for Coach Cal, so it wouldn't be a bad bet to throw a few shekels at the Chieftans at those odds. Cincinnati will have to avoid the 5-12 first round upset that happens every year and 7-UConn likely has a reunion with old Big East date Villanova in the B-Lo."
Don't say so myself (other than setting putrid odds)...while not so right on Florida...not a bad comment on my old Kentucky home. Oh yeah, check out this dunk one more time.
The Bunch also grabbed their record sixth title and second outright title, as they have shared four others [see sidebar].
The Counselors. The morning line favorites did not disappoint, taking second place and hitting the board for the third straight year since the payouts were increased to the top three spots.
The Elders. Give the old guys some respect tying for the show spot. A couple bounces here or there and they are in the thick of it. Almost pulled off a record tying first round but an OT loss and a last two minute meltdown by two of its teams left them with 6 wins. I also heard one of them was barking because they weren't getting enough press....
Wyn-Doctors. Tied for third trying to recapture the glory of old. The Docs last title was in 2010 (shared) after sweeping the 2007 and 2008 editions of the Calcutta. The reaction of the Wyn-Docs after the Elite Eight and the Bunch's cream rising to the top can only be described as...
Congrats to all who cashed and for those of us left behind....there's always next year....
Hope you enjoyed Calcutta 2014!
