Should Duke have fouled up 3?

 

[Wild11MN]

IMO Villanova was clearly the top team left in the Elite Eight, followed by Duke, then Kansas, then the field. Sucks that all three were on the same side.

But really, from what I've seen, Villanova is on another level from the rest of the field right now.

 

[Rob]

Duke, Kentucky and NC are all out. I am happy.

Nice for Self to add another final four to his resume, but this is Villanova’s to lose.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

For all the chaos we still wound up with two 1s and a 3 in the Final 4. Along with this years George Mason.

Go This year's George Mason.

Yeah not sure where all the "omg this tournament is a disaster" wailing is coming from. Two #1s, one very solid team, and one Cinderella. Nothing too shocking there.

I think it's been a great tournament. If people aren't happy that certain teams didn't make it in, not sure what to say. Those teams should have won. Just being the better team on paper doesn't mean you get an automatic ride to the final four.

Should Duke have fouled up 3?

I wasn't watching the game last night, but I would always foul up by three. I don't get why all coaches don't do it.

Come on, Loyola.

Was Butler the last double digit seed in the national championship?

Butler wasn’t a double digit seed the two times they made the NC game.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Butler wasn’t a double digit seed the two times they made the NC game.

I thought they were a 10 seed. Still when was the last time a double digit seed made the final game.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Layola up by 7 At the half.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I thought they were a 10 seed. Still when was the last time a double digit seed made the final game.

I could be wrong. I thought they were a 9 and a 7.

Loyola is up 7 at the half, and they didn’t shoot that well. Beautiful.

Never. The highest was an 8.

Butler was a 5-seed, then an 8-seed.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Butler was a 5-seed, then an 8-seed.

Thanks.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

So Layola has a shot at history. Imagine of they win the whole thing. That would be something.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Come on, Michigan, get it together.

 

[Teemu]

Loyola looking overconfident. They need to slow down the game.

I'm watching with a couple of people, and I just said that. They're going with 20 seconds on the shot clock. That isn't their game.

 

[Teemu]

Terrific defense by Michigan this half. They'll give the 1 seed some trouble

 

[Scotty Pucks]

Mo Wagner won me a lot of cash tonight.

This was easy money folks - it always strikes midnight for Cinderella in the national semifinal. VCU, Wichita, Butler, George Mason, now Loyola too.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Loyola has looked like they've been out of gas since the 10 minute mark of the second half.
