This tournament was boring. I suspect NIL deals and changing the transfer rule has ruined the tournament for regular spectators forever. Gone are the days of players like Steph Curry playing at small schools for more than 1 year. Now, anybody that excels at a mid major will transfer to a major conference the following year. The magic of the tourney is gone and the people who were pushing payment for the players only have themselves to blame. I bet revenue for the tourney starts to decline over the next few years.

Vehicles driving in circles for 3+ hours is more your thing. And foo-foo drinks that require one of those little umbrellas.

Of course the guy who roots for the team that hasn't won a playoff game since 2008 is all too accustomed to the dogs not getting any love...

Honestly more interested in tonight's WBIT championship between Belmont and Minnesota (played here in Indiana) than I am in either of the primary Final Fours.
What does rooting for my team have to do with the NCAA tournament. I love an early round upset, but really want to see the best in the finals.

I could also say, of course the guy whose team has never won anything is more interested in second tier women’s basketball.

I'm sure somewhere deep in regions of Cane's brain that no one ever talks about because it would be too creepy...that comment makes some kind of sense.

That over the back foul on cooper was as weak of a call as they come in that moment. That’s not a foul in the first minute of the game and surely not in the finals seconds with the game on the line. Refs got to learn how to stay in their lane

Still a great comeback, that’s what experience can do for you. Really happy for Sampson he deserves it.

Just shows how bad college ball is. The inability to inbound the ball multiple times against the press would never happen in the nba. You may get 1 play like that if you’re lucky

I really think Duke would have handled Florida, I think we got a game now.

Equals out the Nipple kick out of bounds that stayed with Duke and Flagg blatantly hooking the defender before his last shot.

That's an all time choke job by Duke. You wanna give credit to Houston? Go ahead, you're wasting your breath. Duke literally threw that game away because they couldn't break a basic press. 7-0 run in 15 seconds.That's not a comeback, that is a massive choke job that will haunt them the rest of their lives

I could not agree more. Duke was totally at fault in this game.

@tlance what’s your honest thoughts on this call?


It is really soft.

Not sure why you are tagging me.

The reason I push back at you is when you whine about officials being bad at their jobs.

Well….

NBA officials mostly are the best in the US. Officiating is an impossible job. And college officials going to miss more than pro officials.

As long as you are sticking to the point of that being a bad call and not expanding to the act of talking about how bad officials are, then I have no issues.

That's a huge loss for the fans of the tourney and college basketball in general. There's no need for 64 teams now.

Most of these guys playing kinda suck.


But got damn do they ever care.


lol.

All this is, is better than HS. The Jazz and Wizards play better basketball every night. They both fucking suck. Just enjoy it.
