Game Thread: National Championship - #3 Texas Tech vs. #1 Virginia

Don’t go the speed limit in the left lane. 70mph is fucking unacceptable. The truck with Texas plates, yeah that’s me, move your liberal ass to the right. NPR radio is perfect for right lane commuter driving.

Tigers gonna win it all though. You see that lineup!!!

Texas Tech defense on the final possession of regulation was so stupid. Why leave a guy open at the 3 point lead when you're up 3? You can't leave any shooters at that point.

Will never understand that defensive philosophy of leaving shooters in that situation. You should allow the 2 and walk your ass to ft line to put your team up 3 again

Michigan has a ranked softball team... for now. You could watch them.

Btw, happy Tuesday to you east coasters.

Lol at “one shining moment” becoming a Zion highlight reel.

Maybe if they didn’t have truck drivers for players. No offense to any of you truck drivers

One Shining Moment needs to be thrown in the dumpster. Was good about 25-30 years ago

Probably close to a third of the whole thing was random Zion plays.

If he missed that the games over. He made it and tech still had plenty of time to win the game.

Fun little game to end the season on. Good for the Cavaliers.

 

[UVA_Guy81]

Damn do I wish I didn't have to work during the game. Also glad to not be spoiled by the result and watched it off the DVR. This team is the pure definition of Cardiac Cavs. Proud of how resilient these guys were coming off one of the two most embarrassing losses in NCAA history.

I was thinking that Tech would foul before the guy took the three.

Confirmed: Okeke doesn't go down Auburn wins the national championship.

Zero doubt.

Confirmed: If my aunt had balls, she would be my uncle. Zero doubt.

Man after visiting reddit, it seems there are a lot of UVA haters. Yes they got a ton of breaks and got some lucky shots along the way but champions need that at times. If I'm a UVA fan, I'm still proud of the team no matter what. Fuck all the haters. The karma finally went in their favor for once.

 

[naslundfan19]

Thought this was good.

A hearty congrats to @kelley2403

(and the hundreds of other UVA fans whose names temporarily elude me)

Thank you very much. It does feel good.

If Hunter doesn’t get hurt last year we advance. He got hurt though.

Yep. They may have been too concerned about fouling on a 3 after the Auburn game. But I agree.

It was probably a bit too early to do the foul-to-prevent-a-3-thing, but I would have been tempted.
