UNC - Alabama

[prankster]

Neither team was good enough to beat the other.

Hopefully we start at 10 have to hope Iowa State beat UNC convincingly to have a quicker 2nd half.

Remember a 10 o'clock start on the east coast is 7 o'clock on the west coast.

Right but this tournament was made for TV. Most of the television watching fans will be from the eastern and central time zones. The fans physically at the game would've gone at 5pm pst or 7pm. It's a Sunday. Putting this tourney championship game on at 10 pm is mind-numbingly stupid. The TV audience you want to see it is passed out and the in venue audience is probably going to be relatively light with only homers for both teams who happen to live or be out there going to the game.

You wanna see at least a double digit lead for Iowa St at the end of 3 by 9, timing is everything. Thanks to UNC and Bama there isn’t a big comfort level to starting at 10.

They couldn’t play a couple games yesterday and a couple today smh, maybe have the 3rd and 5th place games on a Saturday and the championship games today (Sunday)?

Is it an unwritten rule to not drop the #1 team until they lose? UNC wasn’t playing like a #1 team since the season started.

 

[TheChamps990411]

LOL.

10PM start on a Sunday night, the majority of the teams participating are on the east coast. Why Phil!?

$$$$$$$$$$

Hubert "Mike" Davis. Too soon?

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

The reversed goaltending call (in addition to being correct) was a great setup for leaving Roy Williams as disappointed in the final outcome as Boeheim was yesterday when the late technical foul on Bryant wasn't enough to seal the deal for Syracuse.

OK by me.

Yes. In the polls at least. Don't rely on polls.
