OT: NCAA B-Ball Championship Game Open Thread
Nored is utilized perfectly on defense. He really seems to rule the air.
Incredibly low scoring. Whoever gets to 50 wins this game IMO.
for Kemba to take over. I have a feeling he's going to run off like 9 straight at some point
22-19 at the half is a rock fight
Sweet, 41 total points at half. I wonder when the last NBA game had only 41 points scored in a half?
Never. 55 was the record between San Antonio and Houston in 2003.
The point is well taken (I.E. this is a low scoring game obviously) but there are also 4 more minutes to play per half in the pros
I was just answering his question. STEP OFF BRO
I said your point was well taken. My point was just that it's not completely comparable (and not implying you didn't understand that already).
I remember when 55 points was pretty low scoring for ONE NBA team in a half...
Point Tiebreaker are probably going to be a little over (Price is Right rules don't apply).
i was flipping channel during the a break in the game and saw two gloden pants pendants for sale on the show Pawn Stars....
I don't know if this is a rerun or a new episode, but thought it was pretty funny.
guess i'm not the only one who saw it... it's blowing up twitter right now
Nothing is coming easy for Butler. I think the Huskies are going to start pulling away as the game opens up later in the 2nd half. They are going to try to run a lot off Butler misses.
Why having a true big man or two helps. A lot.
And I don't mean the thread.
Wow, what a terrible shooting game for both teams. Butler is shooting less than 20%!
Danger time for Butler. It's been amazing how many shots they have missed.
Last 21.
Jim Nantz: "They're on a roll - a finger roll!"
My wife: "That sounds disgusting."
Your wife thinks.
by 'disgusting' she meant 'awesome'
Even more.
Showing why big men and taking the ball to the hoop is still what it takes to win 6 in a row in the NCAA. (Or what, U-Conn's 11 straight post regular season games?)
"Walker..... Texas Ranger."
BOOOOOOOOM. He had that a month ago, just biding his time.
less than 17% for the game. A lot of those looks have been wide open too. Man, when it rains it pours.
Stop being so boring, why is this game so boring, im bored!
Someone please tell me Nantz did not just say Walker Texas Ranger.
Butler is laying one of the all-time dinosaur eggs out there thus far in the second half.
Matt Howard is now shooting 4-18 in his two NCAA Finals appearances. Butler may have well-coached, well-disciplined kids, but they can't throw it in the ocean. No surprise on this end.
Butler is extremely well-coached on D and on the glass, and they play hard. But their offense just plain sucks.
And not just for my pool.
I really wanted VCU to win. They were just so much more entertaining to watch. That and the whole Shaka Smart gestures/they are an 11 seed thing.
U-Conn or Kentucky. (God, at least it's not Kentucky). I thought Butler's experience and defense would give them a better shot. (Though really, Kansas has to be kicking themselves...it was laid out for them to take it. I should send Self a bill for my pool). I was also hoping if Butler won there's no way the coach would leave there, because I'm terrified about him coming to the Big Ten.
Said "Them Sons of Bitches." When they panned there way.
The worst part of this game is that it will give people a reason to defend the BCS
Michigan beat uconn 7 months ago
When I thought Nantz couldn't get any worse...
Best in show. He went there right after
Put to sleep.
How some people can still think he is a good announcer is beyond me.
Nantz is dropping all kinds of dog related puns
Wow, "Connecticuit wins best in show"
How long did it take him to think of that?
At "One Shining Moment", unlike last Year's.
We could have given both of these teams a hell of a game, and shot better than 17% for the game.
I think everyone in America is saying that tonight.
Cam Newton gets paid. Calhoun cheats. Tressel cheats. These programs are all doing quite well. USC. Maybe the problem is we aren't cheating? (obviously being sarcastic)
However, it is quite depressing to live in a society where cheaters are rewarded. And no, I'm not just talking about athletics. I'm talking about the middle class disappearing while Politicians, and Bankers mainly are the ones doing the cheating. I wish I were young and ignorant again. Life was much more beautiful.
To suspended.
The game is over!!! And I don't have to watch this TERRIBLE basketball game anymore!!!
Those are the worst championship hats and shirts ever.
Is it over?
UConn won? Oh that's nice.
