Cue the dumb and dumber picture.

Imagine telling Louisville fans in 1986 that it will be more than 25 years before get another championship (if they even win Monday).  They would think you are crazy. 

It is awfully hard to get to a Final Four, a championship game, or to win it all.

^^^ That is why Buzz needs to build his program at MU.

NOTHING happens overnight.

Unless you're FGCU.

So only two private schools have won it...Cuse and Duke.  Both with long-term, HOF coaches supported by the schools.  Coach K's achievements really stand out on that list.  There is a thin fabric to success.
