This is Jim Nantz last game as a basketball announcer. He will continue to call golf and NFL games. 63 years old.

Love him or hate him, I liked him in '98 during the Comeback Cats: "Turner. Burner! And One!"

Since this game is most likely over, for next year I’m calling my shot, another blue blood or power will win next year.

This is where the tourney ends up getting hurt, upsets are cool in the first round, but when you have a team in the championship like SDSU, the championship ends up being a blowout

Nope. Let me know when Uconn makes 17 final fours, 35 plus elite 8s, and 60 tourney appearances.

I will say UConn's record when they actually make the tournament and get past first weekend is ridiculous.

I'm not looking it up again but it is something like this:

Since 1999
- 25 seasons
- 4 Natty's (maybe 5 tonight)
-16 Missed tourney or loss in first wknd
- 4/9 (maybe 5/9) in winning titles when advancing past first wknd
- doing this w three different coaches

WTF?

UConn just looks to have 6 guys on the court. Very fluid.

But the refs are also letting them hack or reach through or jump on ..

But they’re a great team. Makes it seem easy when the other team can’t even dribble band and you can reach through.

SDSU is literally TCU from football this year, got hot by being stronger than people and outmuscling them but when it’s time to face a power in UConn of UGA they get their *** kicked

SDSU looking like Butler in 2011. UConn lives a charmed life. Sheesh.
This. But it’s exactly how we knew it would go. SDSU can’t score in normal situations so expecting them to score tonight would be crazy. Unless we were their opponent then yeah they’d be hitting all these open shots. We don’t live the charmed life that UCONN does

If UConn wins tonight they will have 3 titles in the time Cal has been here and 2 of those they beat Cal and UK in the Final 4 and Championship game. Cal has NO excuse for his INCOMPETENCE compared to what UConn has done in that same time span.
You’re preaching to the choir 🥴, but you’re right.

UConn likely going to have as many titles as UK and UCLA since 1971.

As many as us since 1958.

One less than UNC since 1957.

More than Kansas since 1952.

More than UCLA since 1971.

Tying Duke and IU for 4th all time at 5.

All since my Freshman year in college.

I'm going to bed. Basketball God's....do us all well and let SDST come charging back for the W.

I’ve only watched about 5 minutes here and there.

But could someone point out to me which team is playing this “modern offense”?

Looks like the same basketball I’ve played and watched for almost 60 years.

If this is “modern offense” I played modern offense in high school and college in the 70’s.

I knew we were ahead of our time but com’on man!!!😆

Dan Hurley has worked some magic with this team. I have rooted like hell against UConn but they are one of best coaches teams I’ve seen in a long time.

They are as well oiled, fluid and connected on BOTH ends of the floor as you’ll ever see.

They have some good talent too but he has melded them together brilliantly.

They never look out of sorts and neither does he.

I agree. But the post said I'll take uconns 5 titles n 8 missed tournaments vs UK 1 title

They did that I. 25 years. Not the term of cal at UK
Not like that's a hard choice

The San Diego Azzcracks has played them even in the 2nd half. If the Azzcracks would come down and get quick shots instead of doing all that deliberate slow bs they'd have a better chance. UConn size had bothered them.

Credit to SDSU for fighting, if that white guy for UConn doesn’t hit a tough 3 and they keep sanogo off the boards, they are going to the line to be down one

SDSU has had success offensively when they take 'gathered' shots. Too often they have tried to push up the floor off rebounds and they would turn it over or they would take a rushed shot off the move. They aren't skilled enough to play that fast.
