I'm going to need something to punch if North Carolina wins.

.........unless you're governed by the NCAA
Or play for the Lakers.
....and then they both playin the finals!
pulling for nova. oldest son is telling the youngers, 'they (unc) pay their players. you can't root for them'.
Nova. If UNC wins it will be the beginning of the end of the NCAA. Especially if they get the death penalty.

I can't see the NCAA nuking a program like that again. Especially not a blue blood like Carolina.
No way the NCAA does that. It'll be lucky to deliver more than a 1-yr ban on post-season play.
Loss of one scholarship over five years
Seriously, NOTHING will happen to UNC and Roy Williams. However, the banhammer will come down fiercely on Queens University of Charlotte for the extra text message sent during the quiet period.
Not saying it will happen, but if it did. Hypothetically.

I got 'Nova. I think they keep rolling and they once again play amazing defense; enough to slow down Paige, Johnson, and co..
MVP of the game - Ochefu. He outplays UNC's plethora of bigs/size.
I'm too old to stay up for these games unless Michigan is them. Me and all the other old folks will find out who won in the morning. Old people...to sleep!
And get off my lawn!!
But yeah, not watching because UNC. Screw UNC.
Poor Terps. All of Nova's guys are from Maryland.
I have a few brackets in which I picked North Carolina to win it all, even though these brackets are mathematically out of the running for overall champion in those pools thanks to other miscalculations. To that end, if your bracket had this game AND is still Top 5 in a pool, I would like to talk to you later about how you did that. Research, mind you.
Jeez Jay and Roy why don't you just make out!!
I have Villanova 77 - 74 UNC.
But I want to say, I think Ryan Arcidiacono is such a key. I see in him the same "thing" that I saw with Stu Douglas and Novak and Jordan Morgan... just a level headedness and total control of the team as a senior leader.
Damn Paps. You completely called that score.
Ayeee! I was hoping somebody would notice! Probably the highlight of my life for the last week or so...
I woke up this morning and saw the score and I thought I read this score as a prediction on here. Nice work Paps!
Rollie party!
No reason to drop them now (other than disgust for their cheatin' ways).
They are just huge. "Nova gets worn out/foul trouble.
Running with Barkley (pun intended) on this one:
Villanova.
I just wish Paige didn't play for UNC, because I like him. So, go 'Cats!
So sick of the refs screwing UNC's opponent. Win the game fair and square. Ticky tack on one end only.
I can't imagine a conspiracy where the refs favor UNC in this one. NCAA has to hate the idea of UNC winning.
I hear you, but they clutch and grab like crazy with no penalty.
You were saying?
You got your wish so far in this one
Went with UNC in my bracket, plus if UNC wins my buddy will win money which he owes me... Go heels!
Villanova uses their hands very well on Defense and they fill up the passing lanes well too.
Organized chaos.
And they move/handle the ball well on offense. Very athletic and efficient team that's on a roll in this tourney.
Nova D will prove to be too strong.
Nova d looks fierce but UNC is crazy athletic

If they don't get too tired.
I'm a little annoyed this isn't on CBS. At least I can get it online. Does anyone know why they do that?
It's part of the TV contract that from now on the Final Four and National Championship game are on TBS in even years and CBS in odd years.

Ah man, that's a pain. I figured they'd get more viewers via CBS instead of a pay-cable channel
When they signed the new NCAA Tournament contract in 2010 I guess CBS didn't want to pay for exclusive rights so now they share rights with Turner Sports (TBS, TNT, TruTV). But this year is the first of the contract where the F4 and NCG aren't on CBS.

Mother of God . . . "The biggest deficit Carolina has faced all Tournament"
5 points.
Are these refs on UNC payroll? Has UNC ever had a FT deficit. Good lord.
Huh? Are you watching the same game as everyone else?

Not sure what you are talking about considering Nova just got away with a clear travel.
Sent from MGoBlog HD for iPhone & iPad
You went to Duke too?
I've never seen UNC with a FT deficit. We will see tonight.
Don't know about UNC's history, but Nova appears to be "walking" to the line a lot.

Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the bench is beneath the floor? Why can't they just expand the floor?
