After a timeout, that was a stupid shot. Dont know what they were thinking. Oh well, final 4 was alot better than I expected and next year they will be loaded.

It was dirrrrrectly on line. Just a tiny tiny bit short, thats the worst way to miss IMO. Because to you as a shooter, it looks good the entire way there

If they just took the best teams on paper, itd be the BCS all over again


This final 4 was entertaining, plenty of story lines and a couple very close games down to the final minute

And now everyone can get on the Butler bandwagon in the game of good vs evil.

Preseason #18 Butler and unranked UConn in title game. Kinda weird.

Now I feel a little better about the Ohio State game. It probably would have pained me for life if UK would have won the championship since they got us in the final seconds.

Games were not well played at all. Just because they go down to the last minute, does not mean the whole game was great.

Yeah. That's probably going to stay in his mind for a while.

He said entertaining, not great.

I think they were entertaining as well.

What exactly was wrong with the 2 games? not enough points scored for your taste?

I've been on that wagon since the Pitt game. Since UCONN beat San Diego State, I have not given two shits about the left side of the bracket because there was no Cinderella team on that side. It's a shame that VCU and Butler had to play tonight.

Not very entertaining to me. For a final 4, better basketball should be played.

Possibly, but I wonder if UCONN's bigs will be too much for the Bulldogs. I think they certainly played a role tonight, blocking shots, dominating the boards and even scoring when called upon.

Definitely a crushing loss. UConn deserved to win, there was no malice, no questionable officiating, no chokers, no excuses.
