Official final four thread

This game is over. At least I can get some sleep tonight lol.

 

[dukebluesTX]

This game's a real turd so far. Boring as all get out.

 

[dukebluesTX]

I'm 40 minutes from NRG Stadium. Hell, put me out on the floor and I''ll get your 2 points in 8 minutes

 

[dukebluesTX]

They are so fortunate to only be down 9 lol

 

[Fourteen44]

Uconn may win by 30-40. I’m not kidding.

SDSU is so rattled right now. Missing layups and then giving up the three on the other end. This is exactly what I was afraid was going to happen. Think they can go ahead and put UCONN's name on the trophy.

 

[dukebluesTX]

30-10 run. Feels like the TCU/UGA championship game.

 

[dukebluesTX]

I can imagine FAU guys right now feeling like Michigan did when they saw TCU lay an egg in football.

 

[The Only Blue]

This game sucks. No wonder the ticket prices for this game was so cheap

 

[dukebluesTX]

They are lucky to only be down by as much as they are. They could be down 30 very easily.

I told my brother with 1:30 left at the half, SDSU needed to cut the deficit to 9-12 at halftime and they would be fine. They did just that, hopefully adjustments are made at the half and SDSU win the first 4 minutes of the 2nd half to keep the momentum going.

 

[dukebluesTX]

I'm curious as to the ratings. I doubt it was high to begin with. I have to think a lot of people turned it off already.

I knew I shouldn't have put my life savings on the Azteks.

The women’s game yest way more entertaining than this

 

[christophero]

The way too early top 25 for next year had 3 Big East teams (UConn, Marquette, Creighton) in the top 5. Duke was #1, but they were counting on us getting Lively back. (huh)

 

[The Only Blue]

 

[christophero]

How was UConn only a 4 seed? I know they lost like 4 straight in the middle of the season.

 

[denverexpat]

Has Edy from Purdue declared yet?

 

[christophero]

They must be assuming he returns.

 

[dukebluesTX]

I still don't consider UCONN a blue blood lol. But I'm happy for Dan Hurley

 

[dukebluesTX]

Duke #3 in the way too early top 25 if Roach returns...

Arkansas Razorbacks are No. 1 in Way-Too-Early Top 25 college basketball rankings for 2022-23

Arkansas hasn't won a national title or reached a Final Four in 25-plus years. The Razorbacks are ESPN's early favorite to win the 2023 national championship.

I like Danny Hurley, but I despise Uconn. This sucks.

 

[Neue Regel]

15 times in the last 25 years the Huskies either missed the NCAA’s or lost in first weekend. The other 10 times they went to six Final Fours and won 5 titles. Weird stat.

Yep and they are 5-0 in the title game. Pretty annoying that efficiency when getting to the big game.

I've never been a Danny Hurley fan, nor have I been a fan of Bobby's coaching. Always felt like they were too emotional on the sideline. Well, my tune has changed on Danny. A few games into the tournament, they asked him what was the key to their turning it around. He replied that he was too much of a distraction to his team with the way he acted on the sideline, and knew he needed to change.
Danny has overcome a fair amount, the first being Bobby's younger brother, and being in his shadow as a player.

So to go from stepping away from Seton Hall as a player in 93 for personal reasons, to becoming a National Title winner 30 years later as a coach is some kind of a story.

Old school basketball...hard nosed defense and well run offense...Hurley coached them well....unranked to Champions....a true team of complimentary parts. Congrats to Uconn.

Same. He's a POS in real life when there are no cameras around.

 

[christophero]

That was a little harsh.

 

[cballaddict]

That was a little harsh.

If you knew him in the light that I and many other people do, you wouldn't think that was harsh at all.
