The world has enough problems. The last thing anyone needs is um winning it all.
I’d like to read your impressions of watching a basketball game in an arena that seats 70,000. Enjoy the game.
Kraft needs to make a play for Dan Hurley. “Dan, if you can be successful at UConn, imagine what you could do at Penn State!”
Michigan wins pretty comfortably tonight. They're the best team this year and it would take a Villanova v Georgetown type effort for UConn to pull this out.
I'm pulling for Michigan. If they win, the Big Ten will hold championships for men's soccer, field hockey, football, men's basketball, women's basketball, wrestling, women's hockey and potentially men's hockey if one of the two remaining teams can pull it off.
This game is not what I wanted but pretty much saw it coming once UConn miraculously beat Duke and Florida somehow lost to Iowa. I was hoping Arizona would actually have a pulse and challenge Michigan but that did not happen.
I do see Michigan winning tonight but don't see it being a blowout but it could be a blowout. If Michigan can neutralize Reed then they should win convincingly unless Karaban and whomever else go on some ridiculous heater. No matter what happens it is an annoying result. Michigan winning, well it is Michigan but I don't mind Dusty May but it is certainly not a good thing. The flip side is you have the fighting Danny Hurley Crybabies. Is there a more unlikable coach in the sport? Having that guy pull off some huge upset would be unbearable. Their Duke win was bad enough but to then see them win it all after they should have been eliminated would be horrible.

He’s good coach. Interesting to see how he adapts to college
Agree. I had picked Arizona to win it all but Michigan dismantled them.

I picked Michigan to win it all last November at +1000. GO BLUE (I'm a OSU alum).
Cheaterines struggling. The Crybaby may steal this but he has to pray the Cheaterines stay cold from 3.
They must have a bunch of NIL resources but Hurley is also probably the best coach in the country.
It's almost becoming unwatchable. It's just not the game I'm used to seeing and I don't know what I'm watching when a player takes 4 steps to the hoop after palming the ball for 15 seconds and scores a layup.
After the way UCONN lost to St. John’s in the Big East Championship game I never thought they would have made it to the NC game. In the end Michigan’s length dominated the interior game, that was the difference IMHO.
Congratulations to Michigan in a hard earned victory.

Now we wait for the requisite um scandal to break.
An OSU alum NEVER roots for Michigan in anything. Yes, I am also an OSU alum.
Grumpy old man here. First championship game in awhile where I wasn't really rooting for one team going in. A couple of thoughts, college basketball needs to clean up their game. the amount of clutching and grabbing out front is ridiculous. How about we get back to sliding your feet and using your legs instead of an arm bar or a 2-handed clutch and grab? Also, at some point, can we get back to the established pivot foot? The amount of walking is NBA-level. I don't mind missing an extra step on a clean break-away, but can we please make a trapped player pivot out of trouble instead of sliding and shuffling away. How about the return of the jump stop? Finally, replay reviews are irrelevant when a player 2-hand pushes a rebounder from behind into 3 other players causing a bowling effect and it's considered a basketball play.
Not having a rooting interest, the 3 gentlemen who "earned" the championship game should be congratulated for a fine season and then everything should be done to make sure they don't work meaningful games late next season.
If it wasn't so dark out, I'd go yell at some clouds.
