What putrid basketball. It was pretty much whoever didnt sck worse won. NC was gifted a championship--they were all but dead against Arkansas. Give some credit--its another notch in their belt.
Briggs is not pleased!
All the fun teams lost. I really wanted to see Oregon in the championship game. UNC got some bogus foul calls to beat Kentucky, too.
The refs were garbage on both sides of the ball!
46-132 (34.8%) combined from the field, 32-52 (61.5%) from the line, so 106 missed shots. Lmao. The officiating was actually worse than the shooting and that tells its own story.
Only good thing to come from that shitshow is how the Duke fans will be feeling right now.
There was a game. I can honestly say I watched none of the games.
Competitive but ugly.
Some of the worst looking shots I've ever seen in a big game.
The Gonzaga turnovers really kiddlled Gonzaga, and the inability of that Polish kid to hit 50% of those short hooks was pretty bad.

Yeah, no player really helped themselves this game. Part of it was the reffing. They weren't I prepared for this level of physicality and defense. Still, I wanted Gonzago to win their first title.

I actually still like Justin Jackson. His activity was high and I've never seen a kid master so many floaters from different ranges like that. It was a tough game shooting from 3 but I think Jackson is going to be a nice 2 way player.

I agree. He won't be an alpha but very easy to envision him contributing in a variety of ways.
the Final Four blew, but the tournament as a whole was exciting. I love the South Carolina story. But back to this weekend's games, you expect the games to be shitty when they play them in a football stadium. I think it creates an awful environment for both the players and the fans.

I watch a couple of games, especially regarding some of the players you guys have been talking about, and I just don't see any NBA ready guys. at least no impact guys.

Any player can have a sub par game--its just gets magnified more.

I don't think it was a gift, not even close.. UNC basically came back in the final minutes of every game they played

I was rooting for them too, the NC has a nice group of kids and played tough, but not dirty. Had no issues with the outcome, but did want to see Gonz. finally get a title.
