"March Madness Ends: Who You Got?!" Open Game Thread (And Drinks...Duh!).
Let's do this. Tip off is coming up. All you EST people are probably mad and climbing into bed, though! It is a late start and a bit ridiculous. Thanks Phoenix.
Definitely rooting for Gonzaga. I have UNC winning in a bracket entered in a Craft beer-pool but I'm not sure anything that great would come to me anyway. Ergo, Go Gonzaga. Hoping for a fun game, regardless. No way last year gets replicated but a good game nonetheless is all we can hope for.
Also describe in great detail what's being poured as well, obvi. Lot's of 2017 KBS I imagine?!
There is a high unintentional comedy level to this game.
haha
THE KISS
And that's the end of Collins.
That was not a good foul.
That Collins 5th foul is a perfect example of a foul that technically could be called but is immaterial to the play. You don't call that in the freaking National Chmapionship game.
They know when to call the fouls that matter, and let them play otherwise.
The refs in the BTT final were good at that. Yes, there were some ticky tack fouls, but they let it go, it was immaterial.
having such a terrible game
And to top it off, both teams suck at free throws.
That's the problem with 67 fouls being called. Flopping when you're being posted up is a defensible idea.
Should've been Gonzaga ball, not a possession arrow.
Exactly. Obvious call and could have gone to replay. All 3 teams were garbage this game.
after having terrible games before that.
I mean, it's exciting, even if it's been hideous.
NC can't hit a free throw to save their lives. Zags should foul this game out as much as possible.
Zags just choked on applesauce.
that about does it
I'm done. I suppose it's only appropriate that this shambolic display was won by a school blantantly guilty of academic fraud.
Cause and effect.
ENN SEE AAY AAY!
What an ugly game. Both teams under 35%, awful FT shooting, a critical missed call in the last minute, 44 fouls. A disappointing title game won by a trash program.
I am . . . unfulfilled.
I stayed up for that?
The ACC sent one team to the Sweet 16 . . . but that one team uglies its way to the title. Ugh.
Damn near unwatchable.... and yet somehow I watched it.
but I rule the pool, baby!
98%, top 350k out of 19 million. Noice.
Welp, that's that.
astonishingly poor. Really awful.
there are about 15-20 teams who are thinking that right now. Including Oregon and S. Carolina.
I'm physically angry that I sat through that whole game and then the last minute turned into Gonzaga just handing UNC points so that the game wasn't even close. At least give me a one possession game that comes down to the last shot if the game is going to be that terrible.
We've been spoiled by John Beilein. Most of these other coaches don't seem to understand how to run a half-court offense.
