***National Championship Thread***

[ChocoChicken]

God appears to love Northeastern sports and despise Kentucky for some reason. Who pissed him off?

 

[philstat]

Cadeau is a junior. Back up the truck and get him in UK blue next year.

He’d see us as a step down, unfortunately it’s where things are at

 

[katwest]

This is what I thought might happen, Michigan can’t hit or get a rebound, you just knew it would be this way. They better turn it around the second half. Michigan is getting out hustled and beaten on the boards. Beating Arizona like they did was the worst thing that could have happened for Michigan.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Elevated floors providing another offensive dumpster fire

Play the games in a regular basketball arena.

 

[FilsonCat]

Michigan needs to go back to the pin down screen and dive play. UConn can't match up to that one. Mara can get the ball up high and just lay it in.

 

[RoyKent]

7 titles in 27 years is absolutely insane.

5 in 15 years is even crazier.

More titles since 2011 than UK, Duke, UNC and KU combined.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

UConn getting screwed imo . 9-4 on fouls ?

Not the way the body and slap. Karaban hooking him and he’s bitching about the foul.

 

[ManitouDan]

Fouls are 11 to 4 ? Cmon ? That’s BS

 

[HeismanWinner]

Hurley, he was hooking him, man. Not getting a friendly whistle but clearly a foul.

 

[Bugs092056]

Dusty May is getting an education. Hopefully he can adjust

Every one of us has won one since then too.

 

[philstat]

Captain Hook

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

Hurley complaining about the call, now they're going to get a technical

 

[peterpiper09]

Raftery is such a big east homer it’s about to make me sick

 

[HeismanWinner]

Was unaware that’s a technical.

 

[The_Catfather]

Hurley turned it into a Big East game.

Are the refs talking with Vegas during the reviews? Some of the fouls on UConn have been crazy. The books need a Michigan win but not the Michigan cover.

 

[FilsonCat]

Fouls are 11 to 4 ? Cmon ? That’s BS

Idk. UConn is fouling the hell out of them. Michigan has played a pretty clean half and are switching pretty well. Hook and hold called on Karaban and he earned it.

 

[mash_24]

Good thing the refs are in Michigans pocket. Cause they’re shooting 29% and 0 from 3.

 

[HenryMuto]

Offense display tonight

 

[Bugs092056]

Lets roll

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Who cares if Uconn is getting a bad whistle. **** that team. I hope it remains a terrible whistle for them

 

[gbl97]

Nice game plan from Hurley. I just don't think you can hold Michigan down for another 20 minutes.

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

Yaxel pushed off to score there

 

[Chadrock]

It would be easier to just line up all UConn players and execute them via firing squad and just anoint Michigan as champs.

I mean really, how one sided can this game get?

 

[FilsonCat]

At some point Michigan is going to figure out that UConn can't match up with them inside.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Hurley gets his players to play 200% effort in games like these. That's what I want here, what I want Pope to do. Can't get great players at least coach them up

 

[mash_24]

I despise UCONN. But it’s bad. And I hope it continues.

 

[Gobigblue812812]

Notice 3 of Pope's Whiffs are playing for the title.

Uconn
Demery
Mullins

Michigan
Yaxel

Wow, only UCONN, Michigan and UK recruited those guys???

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

Uconn finally gets a foul call announcer that's a late whistle there

I fully expect Michigan to roll in the 2nd half

 

[KOF98]

REF SHOW

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Offense should explode for Michigan next half. UCONN will be a bit more soft on D due to fouls.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

He just got hammered

 

[Farsight Clone]

Even though Yaxel is a BS'er.. he's still has more hear that JQ and his camp

 

[peterpiper09]

The referees in this game are absolutely horrendous, both ways.

 

[peterpiper09]

He just got hammered

But Cadeau took about 4 steps

 

[theBlues]

He just got hammered

Brandon Garrison gets called for the foul 100% of the time there.

 

[Farsight Clone]

7 titles in 27 years is absolutely insane.

5 in 15 years is even crazier.

People say Uconn is UCLA. False. UCLA had 1 coach with so many times.

Uconn has 6 titles with 3 different coaches. Sure its newer, but they have dominated as of late.

To me they are a "New" Blood.

The fact that if Uconn wins 7 tonight I think they are blue Blood Status.

It's absurd that Uconn might be the top tier school in the last 20 years compared to the traditional blue bloods.

 

[BetterThanYou]

Little known fact


Calipari gave UConn two of those titles.

 

[FilsonCat]

But Cadeau took about 4 steps

You could call a lot of walks both ways in this one.

 

[ala_kat2]

Fouls are 11 to 4 ? Cmon ? That’s BS

One team is fouling more. Only hope UConn has is hoping Michigan has a cold shooting night.
