The Michigan and Syracuse Head Coaches have similar names? Weird

Someone tell Gayweather the sun isn't out.

Gottlieb. Ice pick please.

First FF in 24 years? Yikes. KU has made the FF an average of every 4 years the last 30 years.

Thank God for KU or my sports life would end in suicide.

College athletics just seems dirty all the way around. Recruiting, officiating, tournament and bowl selection process are all pretty corrupt in basketball and football. The NCAA seems to have their own agenda towards tv ratings, ticket sales and accomodating haves over the have nots.

What a terrible game... and LOL at the conspiracy nuts. No one can simply be incompetent any more, they have to be doing it because they were paid. WSU was in the double bonus like 8 minutes into the 2nd half... the refs impacted the entire game on both sides, so it's no surprise they screwed up at the end, too.

WSU played like a 9 seed down the stretch, possibly for the first time this tournament... great tournament run, but several key mistakes in the back court... the refs sucked, but there's a reason Louisville was the overall #1 and WSU was a 9, and it showed late in the game.

Chuck....McGarity.....ROFL

I love the guy.

Tulsa got ****ed hardcore in the Elite 8 just like this 13 years ago.


They need the big boys in the game. Butler's ratings guaranteed it.

Wichita State played like crap the last 12 minutes of the game and deserved to lose, just like they deserved to lose for trying to choke away the OSU game.

Marshall is great at drawing up a gameplan, but he seems to lack the chops to make adjustments on the fly, and that's one of the reasons why the team collapsed at the end in two straight games.

Their piss awful guard play didn't help much either.

Damn straight he did. Athlete (and especially "smart" athlete aka hockey player) at MSU would be knee deep in hottie. ok now I'm officially the jealous one.

They would have most likely lost anyway. That said it was ended with 7 seconds left with a whistle that should not have been blown. A person can argue that it was a good call and could also argue it was a quick call. The truth is it was a great game that deserved to be played out~

Trust me.. I went there.. that girl is one of the dozen or so decent lookers on a VERY large campus chock full of ditch pigs. Well, it may not be that way now but it was in the 90s.

trust me...it's NOT!
my son and I went to a game last year and we were wondering what they put in the water.....

I don't think it's that simple. Biggest plays in the game were made by a guy averaging 7 ppg and another who had made a grand total of 3 threes this season. Louisville was very fortunate to win this game, and it wasn't because their best players got it done.

DAMMIT! WTF was the problem when I was there!!! Although I must admit I was engineering so my that did limit my exposure.

man this is a creepy matchup

McGary is such a beast. I'd take him over Burke.

boom

I'll bet his pro career will be....umm....more note worthy

ROFL what in the world? Get the ball to McGary. Good lord Michigan is stupid. He can literally dominate.

Really dug that Jeep commercial.

boom

damn

Mitch McGary for President!

LOL. McGary is going to have his own harem on Michigan campus by the end of this tournament.

As much as I like FrankOTank..NO!!!!!!!!! NUTSHOT PLEASE! :)

It's petegez planet.

Hardaway is a terrible defender. Cuse realizing this Michigan team really not interested in playing on that end of the floor.

Not sure why but I hate Syracuse. Might be the donkey orange.

I really dislike the Cuse, can the arena collapse now?

For what it's worth, a lot of people are destroying the refereeing in the WSU game. Even Phil Jackson is ripping them. LMAO

Damn, if Phil is ripping them you know it was bad.

He must be bored.

LMAO

Yeah Phil Jackson is out of control tonight. Not really but he's tweeting like a mad man. Be interesting to see if he does this come the NBA playoffs.

Ref's really want the orange pukes.

Hardaway is such a selfish punk.

LOL and he's lazy. What a bad player.

That's an offensive foul.

How does a team that shoots FTs so poorly make it this far?

Crooked refs down the stretch. **** the Big 10

Michigan is playing tighter than Louie Anderson in a Shriner go-kart these last couple minutes.

I have a hard time believing Jim Boeheim drew up THAT play...

JFC

that was reeruned

Better team won.

Horrible. If you cant get an easy two, don't take it.

well I said it when Michigan came back against KU with that miracle...they are going to win it all

Michigan's MVP? Elijah Johnson.

With 4 seconds left and down by three you drive in for a two. What?

more like 6 or 7 seconds but yeah

that was ****ing dumb

The only thing I can think of is him trying to draw a foul while in shooting motion. Thats all I can think of.

you're capable of thinking?

No shit! I'm still screaming at the TV! WTF!

Should have drawn up a play for a Sutherland 3. He was just picking up.

When you win a game in the ridiculous fashion Michigan did against KU, you start believing that you can overcome everyone and everything as a team. Louisville is better than them, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Michigan win the way they're rolling.

Haha

You figure for a school that costs $50,000, Syracuse would at least teach its students that when down 3 you don't go for 2.

they sure looked like they were on a mission down the stretch there when they were trying to brick their way into a Kansas-esque loss on the line

that said, I'm still taking Michigan Monday...Louisville doesn't have that miracle Michigan win that suggests they are some sort of team of destiny

if Wichita State didn't shit themselves they would have beat Louisville today anyways

Michigan is just more talented

I don't think Louisville can handle them.

They've struggled with pressure all year. Quite normal at the college level. But they played excellent for most of the game, particularly defensively (which is unusual for them).

If Michigan plays D like they did tonight, certainly they should win. Louisville relies on getting turnovers to score easily and Michigan manages the ball very well with Burke.

hahahaha!
didn't work for KU! :D

they got away from feeding the post in the second half and it almost cost them the game. as smart as bielien.....I was WTF'ing a lot during that second half.

welp...I'll be damned....it happened....you posted something I agree with. :D
the better team lost that night. thanks EJ!

When does KU play again?

I'm prolly gonna get slammed for this...but I disagree. IF they come out firing on all cylinders....IF they keep their heads outta their asses....nobody can beat MI this year.
I really believe the best MI beats the best anyone else has.

IF

I'm curious which play prompted this?? was it when he took it to the rim and got blocked rather than pass? he doesn't play D for shit, but I think by and large all of them share the ball very well.

the one who gets on my nerves is 23, Levert, but he helped much more than hurt last night. sometimes I want to smack him though. he single handedly lost the wisconsin game. oh well. done is done.

Just glad 1 of my teams won last night. Hope Big Blue wins it all.

So close to an all future ACC final. Good luck to Mich and Louisville.

Forgot about both of those teams moving to the ACC next year. The ACC is going to be a monster in basketball, not that they already weren't before.

Michigan is sooooo young too.

Well, you also thought Michigan was going to steamroll Kansas, and it looked like the opposite was going to happen for 30+ minutes of that game. And even though it's easy to say that game didn't meet your conditions, the flip side is that Kansas took Michigan out of their game, and any team that can be taken out of their game is beatable.

I could just as easily say the same thing about Kansas... had they played the same way for the entire game, blah blah, but that discredits what Michigan did, and they're obviously pretty damn good, too.

They aren't this year's Kentucky.

Anyone watching the Division II Championship game today? Root for Drury!

I feel ya. I admitted I was absolutely mistaken. and technically I was calling for a 10 point spread...not sure I'd call that a steamroll. having said that....
do you really think Michigan played their best against Kansas???

Michigan is so totally beatable....but then ANYBODY is. just saying....they are starting 5 NBA players. that shit just doesn't happen very often...unless you're a Kansas/Duke/NC type school and even then it's not often. I do believe their best would've had a double digit win on KS. hell they laid an egg an miraculously managed to win anyways (thanks EJ).

all in all that was one of the most exciting games I've ever seen, and I'd have felt that way not being a fan of either school.

Drury wins!!!!
