[The Q]

Congrats. This year’s team might be the best I’ve ever seen take a college basketball floor. They truly have no weakness.

Kudos to Michigan I thought they put together the best plan possible to win but the intensity they started with was not substainable with their bench. They left nothing on the court and that is all you can ask of a team.

You're not beating Nova shooting 3/23 from 3.

Even 8 or 10 for 23 and now you're talking.

 

[The Q]

UNC has had 3 OAD's in 13 years. Don't think they belong in there with Duke and UK.

and he came off the bench (Marvin Williams)

that unc was very lucky.

Illinois shot 12/40 on mostly uncontested 3s in that title game.

Was Brandon Wright the other one?

 

[B_dub]

Yep. Villanova weak conference. Plays no one tough during the season

Or the final four apparently.

Let me give you an assist:

Step 1 - Reach behind
Step 2 - Grab stick
Step 3 - Pull out of anus

I wasn't disagreeing with you.

The plan was fine.

The shooting just wasn't there.

Nova is just too good to beat when you shoot 3/23 from 3.

Were you boycotting this one too???

I don't boycott games.

Dat white boy sho was good. He coud jump and shoot, man. Ain't no big, cute white dude or cool ***** play in his league. Donte could sure help the Sixers, now.

Wright and Tony Bradley

UNC went from being a 20 loss team to national champions in less than four years, lol.

Marvin Williams was one and done as well. So it’s 3.

Ironically 2 didn’t start lol.

Barnes should’ve been the 4th. No smart on his part

son of a bitch.....i have no idea why i read that as 2.

i blame staying up way too late for the game and barely being awake today.

Congrats to Villanova on winning the national title.

 

[dougplayer]

Don't forget. Refs help nova big time.

 

[bksballer89]

Wow

I told you Nova was a lock

BTW, I'd like to say for those who follow college ball the whole season, Villanova's success is a result of amazingly not missing on a recruit in the span of like 6 years.

Not only has nobody not transferred, some guys are even willing to redshirt to wait their turn to play. And those guys have been either as good or better than their ranking.

It's something that's unsustainable in the long run. Eventually you whiff on a recruit. Eventually guys go pro when they have no business doing so. Eventually kids' egos get the best of them and they transfer. But none of that happened in the past 6 years.

It's a lot of good recruiting and a good bit of luck too.

Villanova recruiting classes ranked No. 48 (2014), No. 29 (2015), No. 45 (2016) and No. 28 (2017) nationally, per 247Sports

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Wow

Putting the game on TBS is a joke. They need to just use a CBS crew. No more Charles and Kenny Smith.

@jerseyhawksfan79 getting ready to break the bank with $35K

After watching Michigan against Loyola I felt they couldn't keep pace with Nova. Figured it would be close early on and then Nova pulls away.

 

[jerseyhawksfan79]

Congrats @jerseyhawksfan79

Thanks DJ! I figured Nova would pull way from Michigan. I just wasn't impressed with Michigan against Loyola Saturday evening.
