NCAA HOOPS THREAD! -- K petitions to get Maui Jim Maui Invitational moved to Transylvania (2 Viewers)

Also, Florida gets to play a 16, 8, 4, 11, 7 and maybe an 8 on their way to the title.

Looked at this as well. Almost a walk in the park for them numbers wise. That is why Wisconsin is going to beat them.

 

[shadyridr]

Pretty funny how NOBODY wouldve picked this final four but its not like its a bunch of cinderellas. These are traditional powerhouse teams.

 

[tjnc09]

I think UConn hangs with Florida. Wonder what the over looks like?

My guess is 127. Should be up at pinnacle after the UK/Mich game

 

[Anarchy99]

Does UCONN ever miss from the line?

 

[The General]

A-A-C! A-A-C! A-A-C!

Lol

 

[msudaisy26]

I like what someone said earlier. If Michigan wins then the final four will have the last 3 teams that have beaten Florida

 

[tjnc09]

Does UCONN ever miss from the line?

Almost ~90% in the tourney so sometimes, but not often right now.

 

[flapgreen]

Go Cats!!!

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Worst half of BBall all season. Ah well..Go 'Cats. Gotta revert to my Kentucky roots now I guess.

I honestly could see Tom hang it up after this season...

All SEC final now...I hope

 

[msudaisy26]

Got a bottle of wine and watching Michigan with my husband. I am going to the dark side, GO BLUE!!!

 

[rockaction]

Perimeter defense, as I've pointed out, is huge in CB. UConn has it. MSU has it. Florida has it. Kentucky has it.

Winning from the line is f'in huge, as Donyell Marshall will tell you, sadly.

Great day for UConn. Deserved the win. Too much pressure. Kevin Ollie D stamp on this team. Calhoun stamp on this team.

Time to post my favorite thing on the internet, ever.

If someone had this Final Four... possibles with the last game to be played... I would have given them a billion dollars. No joke.

 

[hagmania]

On the opposite end of UF, UK will have played the highest possible seed through their region, and will wind up with the 2 in the Final Four, if they win today.

The underseeding was crazy this year.

It always fascinates me how one or two plays changes the course of sports so much. Conn down 70-67 with less than a minute to go. Brimah makes a tough shot in the paint and the free throw (60% FT shooter) and now here they are in the final four.

Too much red/pink in that bracket to be worthy of a billion dollars. Maybe a $50 office pool win but not a billion dollars. NO RED!

Almost ~90% in the tourney so sometimes, but not often right now.

Boatright, Daniels and Napier are really good from the line (80% combined) and they probably shot most of the free throws. I just looked and they took 36 of the 44 FTs. So, while they shot well, it was 3 guys who already shoot well. I think it was huge that they were penetrating and getting fouls. They got into the bonus early in the 2nd half in both games and FTs definitely helped them close out both games.

 

[hagmania]

Not my bracket lol.

Mine's far, far worse.

We, in Calhoun's old words, "cut the head off the dragon."

Props to Ricky Moore and all of the guards that did what we did today. Good night, MSU. You weren't as good, Tom.

This wasn't the final four against MSU in Detroit in '09.

Or D.C. against Mason in '06

Or San Antone against Texas in the Elite Eight in '03.

Or N.C. in The Elite Eight against N.C. in '98.

We just...won.

Probably not as much as no Mitch McGary

 

[swirvenirvin]

The next game is gonna be all kinds of awesome. No freakin clue who's gonna win.

Raider who do I root for, I am an MSU alum, but I hate Calipari with a passion. I am so torn

If spartans kept winning I was some what pulling for Michigan, but I share your dilemma, now I don't know what to do

No problem..

We didn't come to play today. Scratched our way back into it at the end of the first half, but went completely away from our inside game the second half. Total implosion. Looked worst than the Nebraska loss at home this year. Ah well. Congrats UConn, well deserved win.

 

[swirvenirvin]

Just all around pathetic effort today by every Spartan except Payne and Harris. Seemed liked everyone else played extremely timid. Oh yeah and Appling ####ed them, but Izzo's fault for playing him. He added nothing no assists, no defense, no nothing except stupid turnover and bad fouls

Hey RN. Any idea who the red head in the netflix commercial is?

Nope. I was wondering about the song in the Coke commercial. Is that a real song or just a commercial jingle? I dig it.

GR3 needs to push the tempo on Randle. I saw an interview where he plans to run Randle ragged and that he feels slighted all the attention Randle a getting.

Giving space to Stauskas on the perimeter seems like a winning defensive strategy

Appling was a total liability for the last half a the season...pathetic way to end his career.

He was pretty far back, but yeah, you can't leave him open anywhere. UM is a tough matchup, there really isn't another team in the country that plays like UM.

 

[Ilov80s]

That looked like a clean block.

But, but I read at least 5 articles during the last 6 weeks about how he was "back" and "confident" again. Total ####### headcase, dood needed to see a shrink. I will feel bad for him as I have never see some avg 16 points a game and look like a lock to be first team All Big Ten player, go from someone who was absolutely terrified to shoot a basketball. But right now I'm pissed as hell at him and Izzo for playing him so much.
