Semifinals were worth a look :like
That was some ugly Championship game. :oops:

Gonzaga is still a mid-major after all.
Order is restored in college hoop world.
Both NCAA trophies home in Carolina.
Dean Smith proudly smiling.

Never really saw the big Polish kid play before.

Was it just a off night or does he really suck?

All it took was for Meeks to put a big body on him. Kryptonite.
The bearded guy proved why there are so few NBA Poles.
Made Gortat look like an All Star. :lol:

Yes, lots of whistles, but calls were bad both ways.
The game was lost in the first 3 minutes of the 2nd half.
Tarheel heritage appeared and badly spooked Gonzaga.
My surprise was seeing no MJ in the house.

The young kid Collins is worth watching :like
Goss was Zags heart and soul. :like
The rest of 'em .. nada.

:Toast

ps .. Kimbrell sucks.

He's not their star, but he's usually better than he was the other night. 1-8 on FGs is poor - he's usually 50% or higher on FG. Not to mention he missed several easy shots early on in the first half.

How does Rhode Island, which is not an island, get away with calling themselves the Rams .. anyway ?
All the the other New England state mascots/namesakes make complete sense.
I believe a more appropriate label would be the 'cronies' :banana:

Friars are a mediocre team, so just how good is V.

Good enough to beat a mediocre team but going forward, could be in for a short trip.

They looked pretty good after Providence gave them the wake-up call.

Don't forget that Prov beat them earlier in the year.

There's really no truly elite team this year.

Villanova got the#1 seed. They're not the 2016 team though, that's for certain. Can they make it to the sweet 16? We'll see.
