***National Championship Thread***

[HenryMuto]

What an offensive display

 

[LineSkiCat14]

They’ll never stop playing in these giant arenas but the basketball games played in these huge domes are nearly almost always awful.

Ask Kevin Ware how we liked playing in an stadium with a raised floor..

 

[ChocoChicken]

This is almost as bad as watching a women’s game.

Hot take: UConn’s dominance has been bad for college basketball. Almost all their title games are a borefest and there isn’t anything interesting about the same teams winning all the time.

At least when it was LeBron vs the Warriors the finals were mostly entertaining.

 

[mash_24]

Awful game to be truthful. Both teams playing terribly.

 

[Cats_2010]

These venues make for dog **** basketball games. Effing hate it will likely never see a championship game played in an actual arena made for basketball.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Michigan’s switching d has been impressive. They clearly have worked on communication.

 

[RedwoodHigh]

Now im starting to think Hurley just teaches the most aggressive brand of beat-the-**** out of you basketball. This is scummy.

Its actually NBA playoff basketball

 

[philstat]

Michigan has this, IMO, feel comfortable

Hope so

Maybe in the 80s and 90s haha. You don't see anyhting like THIS in the NBA. In one possession I think like 7 players were on the grou d at different times.

Also, whatever happened to this cylinder rule that burned Kentucky several times for being inside the offensive players "cylinder"? These uconn players are inside Michigan's shorts.

What an offensive display

Doesn’t look like the better teams offensive-wise. Looks more like a wrestling contest that the refs refuse to intervene. Michigan winning the free throw contest.

Definitely. They have had to keep swinging the ball around the perimeter to get a clean look all night. We're talking options 5 and 6. Great scouting.

I blame the elevated court

 

[philstat]

These coaches are galaxies ahead of what we have, like watching two chess masters.

 

[JenksOnKentucky]

I really wish we had Yaxel

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Absolutely infuriating that this uconn team has 6 fouls in this half.. and yet Kentucky seemingly had 50% of its basketball games in the double bonus. College basketball is the one sport where it can be entirely different "games" based on the conference and school.

If Kentucky played like Uconn did, we'd foul out like 6 players a game.

 

[Kantucke_rivals]

We dodged Billy D to UNC and Uconn winning a title, that's a National title for May in his 2nd year. Textbook Home run hire

Pope needs to get Kentucky back on top, Can he do it in his 3rd year? Stay tuned.

 

[HenryMuto]

LOL at Hurely thinking this is the NBA and challenging the offensive foul call

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Hurley is a TOOL

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Come on Michigan bring it home!

 

[Anon1751335390]

Mullins lacks the magic he had in the previous two games

 

[HenryMuto]

Good thing Michigan is shooting like 95% from the line

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

We had an opportunity to hire May too. He was sitting there after FAU ran it back, but Mitch wanted to do his little TV show with Calipari. Bastard.

 

[JustBlue]

Now that might be the dagger

 

[HenryMuto]

A massive swing UCONN had a shot to cut it to 4 with a steal/layup and missed and then Michigan hits a 3

The dagger

 

[MidseasonTweak]

CHAOS

 

[Anon1751335390]

Dagger

 

[Noxium3222]

That one stung.

 

[BlueBloodKyFan73]

Chalk it up Michigan winning

 

[Anon1739778738]

You gotta have talent to win it All said 5 star McKinney

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

LFG

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

You gotta have talent to win it All said 5 star McKinney

A Freshman I may ad! Hit another big shot.

 

[ala_kat2]

Yea, but he’s very good as a freshman. Cocky too.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Keep making your FT’s.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Yea, but he’s very good as a freshman. Cocky too.

He’s a baller, love to have gotten him. Not his best game, but Michigan is a defensive menace.

 

[fisherscatfan]

Yes. It is pretty obvious.

 

[Runt#1969]

rule of 71 game

 

[BetterThanYou]

Good thing Michigan is shooting like 95% from the line

UK’s two losses to UConn in the tournament,

UK shot 17/36 from the free throw line.

Effing Cal.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

That Karaban kid is rebounding monster

 

[HenryMuto]

This has been the least interested I have been in a final 4 ever I didn't even watch the first 33 mins of this game.
