OT: NCAA B-Ball Championship Game Open Thread

Submitted by M-Wolverine on
So this may pick up steam if Butler can take a lead or be close at the end. Or U-Conn could pull away early, and this thread could be single digits.

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.

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?)

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.

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.

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.
