You guys ready for a goalie duel? Not gonna much scoring tonight!
And that sax went bad at the end...
That’s what she said...
Owens seems healthy enough to start. Huge.
I truly have no idea who wins this?! I lean towards Texas Tech but I picked UVA from the get go, might as well keep with the gut instinct.
Li'l scamp.
For those who enjoy 90-75 matchups or something along those lines, there is probably an extensive list of games that are still on demand on some streaming service from the regular season that you could watch instead of this game.
I actually think this ends up not too terribly low-scored. 68-66. Not a UNC-Iowa type score by any means but scoring will happen as great as these defenses are.
I officially made this game end 37-34.
This aged well...
Can’t believe you are subjecting yourselves to this perversion of basketball.
Why is it a perversion? Is defense for losers, or something? You probably don't like well pitched 1-0 or 2-1 baseball games, either, do you?
I don't.
May the best team win. Too late for me. Goodnight all.
3-2 after 4 minutes. Pretty much as advertised so far.
on pace for the over/under at 50. Vegas number is 118.
The Final Four needs to be Friday Night and the championship game played Sunday at 5.
9:20 tip on a Monday is an anti-climactic way to end the best tournament in sports.
On pace for a 15-10 half-time score!!!
The offenses are crapping themselves because of the excellent defense being played by both teams. It'll break around the 10 minute mark, when both teams start figuring out the other a little. We saw that again TT - unfortunately, they got the first few breaks. Lets see who gets the breaks around 10-12 minutes in...
If you gave both coaches 49 points, would they take it? I wouldn’t be shocked if this doesn’t hit 50’s.
Somebody has to get into the 50's don't they?
If these two played football it would definitely outscore this one.
9-3 Someone missed an extra point.
Come on man-pay attention...three FGs
Welp, it was a good run for Texas Tech.
That was a beautiful dime.
Nice run by the Cavs, but a good TO to stop it. Can't let any lead get up to 10, that will be a death knell in this game...
Could that be game?
I'm serious
I wondered if either team would average a point a minute. Finally, seven minutes in, one team did.
I still am pissed the F off about last year's National Championship game. We were in control of that damn game in the first half. If only we could have hammered them with a bunch of 3s as we did to them in November. Should have been our year. I hate Villanova, and that red headed stepchild divivivivicenzo. My God, I want a basketball championship so badly.
Wow, I thought 2013 was our year - we had Louisville right where we wanted them.
Last year it seemed Villanova was just better, at least on that night.
Maybe you're too young; I'll always have 1989.
I wouldn’t say we were in control in the first half. If we were, we wouldn’t have gone into the half with a deficit.
Villanova was just flat out better that night. 2013 was where the opportunity needed to be seized.
I thought this game might be in the 60's but it's looking like 40's right now
Texas Tech doesn't look fresh. I think they may have played themselves out vs. MSU.
They seem discombobulated on offense, but they looked pretty sprightly blocking all those shots a minute ago.
Could be they're just tight.
I’m not excited about this game. I guess texas tech is slightly less annoying than a Virginia win, though the differences are minuscule.
Neither team bothers nor excites me either, though I'm pulling for TT - better to lose to the champions.
Won't lose sleep either way, just hope for an exciting game.
Wow, after 11 minutes of brick laying TT warming up. Agree Maize & Blue they don't look as fresh as earlier in the tournament or Saturday so far.
offensive explosion
Offenses are starting to warm up a little after an arctic start. Both have really solid 2 point defenses.
10 point deficit erased. Texas Tech is destined to win it this year.
WOW! Down 10, I thought it was all but over. But all of a sudden TT is HOT!
Seems like both teams are figuring things out; someone might reach 60...maybe?
Raiders come alive. No one knows basketball emotional factor. Amazing what a difference one hot shooter makes.
What a difference two offensively balanced teams make-where every player demands a measure of respect from the opposition! This is turning into a very nice display of how the game of basketball is supposed to be played. Hope it stays this way.
It's great that Owens kid is able to play. Really happy for him.
TT just hitting everything now.
If TT puts up a halfway decent offense this game they'll win because they suffocate you to death on defense
Weren't we recruiting Kyle Guy pretty hard? Imagine if we ended up getting him, the shooting we need.
I've watched a few Tech games now but haven't been all that impressed with Culver.
