Carolina will win this game because of the calls

Are you watching the same game?

Agreed. Can't catch a break

[brfrad]

At least this game is much better than the Final 4 games.

What a bailout call there, kid traveled and there was no foul

That was such a big time travel that the NBA would have called it.

[mrjam]

Because of the poorly called game. I want Carolina to win because of the B'S CALLS

[colhusker]

That shot was unreal

Watching Villanova shoot makes me long for a kid or two that can shoot. 

[brfrad]

That was a great ending.   The last 2 minutes of big shots, both teams made. 

[Red Don]

WHAT A GAME; worthy of a Championship. Great Game! Great Win for NOVA!

[colhusker]

Was a fun game

When was the last time Nebraska played the eventual National Champions in the regular season?

I believe that would be Kansas in 2008.

I'm going to need a basketball detox after that game..... (Huge Carolina fan)

I'll be in my bed. If anyone hears tears it's just the allergies

This thread explains why we had 10 entries in our bracket challenge this year.

 

 

I was pleased to win it all with my Nebracketball bracket.

Yeah, that ending was so clutch, then not-so-clutch... for Carolina, that is.

Swag.

 

[Silverbacked1]

Swag.

 

That was cool.

[Handy Johnson]

Now, about that avatar of yours...

Just saw "Atlantic City" the other night and had forgotten what a cool flick that is. Burt Lancaster plays a two-bit hoodlum who gets busy with Susan Sarandon...

So, my question about the end of the game is this: Leading by 3 with UNC throwing it in why wouldn't Nova defend hard up to the half court line and then foul? As exciting as it was for UNC to hit that crazy 3 pointer, he should never have even got the shot off. Foul him before the shot gets taken. Broadcasters often pose the possibility by coaches seldom do it. Why not?

[jimmykc]

Handy: They don't make them like Burt any more. Try "Elmer Gantry" and "From Here to Eternity" for two of his best. He may be an acquired taste for today's palates however.

Game last night saved the NCAA bacon. Another blowout would have been devastating. And Nebraska had a representative on the court at game's end. ( see Higgins, John).

Every coach has different philosophies about fouling when up 3.  Some coaches are all for it and some are against it.  Not saying Jay Wright is against it but not all coaches agree about fouling late when up by 3.

North Carolina is such a good offensive rebounding team; perhaps Wright was concerned about that.

He's also great in a film noir classic called "the Killers".... Now back to basketball, since the season is officially over that means we're right back in it right.........right?
