NCAA Basketball Championship Open Thread

can we pick against Kansas? Their ability to get and deny good looks at the basket in crucial 2nd half possessions has been the story of the tournament, other than Kentucky’s sheer dominance.

Withey vs. Davis is an interesting individual matchup.

…pulling for Big Blue Nation.

The way Calipari has reignited the Kentucky basketball program is unbelievable. And to do it with a rotating roster is simply unheard of.

Incredible to think that he’s able to mesh freshman egos so well. Elite 8, Final Four, National Championship game in his 3 years as Wildcat basketball coach.

Good lord…only way to get “competitive balance” in college bball will be to get Cal his title and start the “Cal to NYC” or “Cal to Miami” NBA rumors going…

But The Fray just effed up the national anthem.

Jeez, stop with the pumpkin.

This is one physical game inside. Kentucky is collapsing inside and almost daring KU to shoot from the outside.

Kentucky can get in the lane at will. That’s not good for KU.

why wasn’t that goal tending on Kentucky?

nothing available in the early thrust….

Clark, what the hell does that mean?

This game has been about the wing players from Kentucky being superior to Kansas. Kentucky just needs to push on the interior matchup and there wing players will win the game for them.

Kentucky has so many weapons, its not like Kansas played awful but Kentucky breezed to what an 18 pt lead a one time. Kansas will fight but this is going to be a mountainous uphill battle.

Watching KY defensively swarm the ball inside is pretty awesome. 21-13 on the boards is pretty telling too.

but he seems more like an agent.

the entire interview with Obama. Not playing the politics card but I can’t remember a thing about what they were talking about.

rebounds….wow.

but how the hell did Kentucky repeatedly come up with the ball with 4 KU guys down low?

KU mugged low but Kentucky goes up for the rebound. They don’t wait for the ball to come off or down—they get it. I almost expect to see them board their missed freethrows.

Three adjectives that describe both coaches. Meh

now look around before you do it.
