SUPER BOWL 2012

Jim Calhoun and Steve Fisher have combined for three nationial championships and six trips to the Final Four. Add Duke's Mike Krzyezewski and you've got quite a trio of accomplished coaches and combined national titles (seven) in the Honda Center these next few days. Too bad Lute Olson isn't still coaching Arizona.

However, one of the more surprising stats surrounding Thursday's UConn-San Diego State Sweet 16 bout is that, despite all their respective accomplishments, Calhoun and Fisher have never faced each other on the hardwood. Figured somewhere along the line they would have met, but nope, not 'til Thursday night.
