KSR talked about this and it's on their website. The UL AD tweeted that Blackshear is the first player in NCAA history to make 4 straight Sweet Sixteens. Wow.
UL Athletic Dept with massive fail on Twitter
- Thread starter SilentsAreGolden
- Start date
When you're the best college sports city in Amurrica, you trumpet these accomplishments loudly and proudly. Even if they aren't true.
I saw it all over my facebook shared by UofL fans. They would post it with comments like. How many former or current kitty cats can say that? Then everyone started responding ( consecutive elite 8s) Cameron Mills, Allen Edwards, Wayne Turner, (seet 16s)Kenny Walker, Roger Harden....Then Scott Padgett and Prickett have all been to 4 elite 8s but not in a row.......Shortly there after the whole thing was taken down by UofL athletic department.
How does that even happen? Anyone with even a hint of basketball history knowledge could debunk that off the top of their head. Even if you can't, it would take less than 5 minutes to research.
Maybe it was because Twitter allows only a certain amount of characters and the last sentence was omitted.
...who attended UL and was not implicated in criminal charges or abortion.

Cal's last four seasons at Memphis went Elite 8, Elite 8, Final Four, Sweet 16. I'm sure there were a few seniors on that last team that played in all four tournaments.
Louisville Athletics just tweeted this "50 Iranian terrorist have taken over all the Sizzlers steakhouses"
That's hilarious. I went over to their board to see if anyone had posted it and ran with it before fact checking and I am assuming it was already taken down lol.
"Bubble of delusion" is the perfect description of everyone associated with UofL athletics, especially their fans. Exhibit A is their idiocy involving their impending "ACC Takeover".
Maybe so, but it's pretty far stretch to go from "First UofL player...." to "First NCAA division 1 player...".

To make matters worse, Wayne Turner is an assistant coach at UL (or at least he sits on their bench during games).
It's that darn fuzzy math getting in the way of the Tards again...since they started counting only x numbers of years to achieve their desired y numbered results, they be all confused.
BREAKING NEWS: University of Louisville athletics department says Barack Obama is the first president to ever be re-elected!
Pretty sure Laettner played in four straight final fours, I think you have to go through the sweet 16 to get to that point.
Add Allen Edwards and Cameron Mills to that Era. Padgett and Prickett had 4 Elite 8s but not in a row, redshirt/injury
Maybe they meant only player to progrss to the sweet 16 4 years in a row, but not get any further. Still not sure thats true either though...or maybe in typicsl ul fashion, they started counting in 2010 since they were irrelevant before that.

That sounds like something Indiana would publish...
If only they could get to four Sweet 16s.

UL's athletic department spends 1000 man hours a week trying to come up with stupid little factoids like this.

Guys, you are forgetting that all UofL touts have a very specific time frame. I have no doubt the full tweet said "First player in NCAA history to go to a 4th straight sweet sixteen at 11:47 p.m. on March 22, 2015." Some of it no doubt was left off by accident.
