It's the most wonderful time of the year (NCAA tourney, baby!) - Page 5

I'm still alive in my pool. My official Final Four picks (as opposed to the picks I made for the weekend games) are:

Memphis over UCLA
North Carolina over Georgetown (oops!)

Memphis over North Carolina 71-70

Four #1 seeds should make for an exciting Sat/Mon finish. I'm almost hoping for a classic UCLA/North Carolina matchup in the championship game.

I'd like to see UCLA v. UNC as well - primarily to see Love and Hansbrough battle one another (I was going to say "go at it", but knowing this place, it would have been twisted into something I didn't mean).

Congrats on still being alive in yours. It's been several years since I've had a chance to win after the final four was finialized.

The second half of this game should have been 20 minutes of Love in the paint. They weren't even trying to get it in to him and when he did handle the ball, all he did was pull up for 3s. What the hell were they thinking?

I think the bigger guards of Memphis made it very difficult to get Love the ball.

Watched the game at a bar called sharkeez in Newport beach- fun!

But it didn't look like they were even trying. It's not like they tried a few interior passes that got knocked away, they gave up on it before they even tried. And with 2 of their big men with 3 fouls from the get-go, they should have been lobbing it down there every single possession.

They just conceded the size difference and it cost them the game.

I have never witnessed a stranger game. Down 28 15 minutes into the game , to cut it to 4, to lose by 20. Very odd indeed.

Now this is a game, baby.

Not that I care, but can somebody explain to me why Memphis didn't foul Kansas in the last ten seconds. If they fouled in the backcourt and the guy chucked up a shot from 50 feet, would they have given him three free throws?

Also, there shouldn't be TV timeouts in the last two minutes.

On to the women's final. Not.

scaeagles · 04-07-2008, 09:08 PM

I would have fouled, but I understand their desire to keep the clock running. Also, Kansas hadn't been hitting from 3 (they were something like 3/14 on the night?) and they had been hitting from the line.
