***The Final Four Thread***

Might I add, I won't claim it would be an easy call to make (or to not make, which is probably more to the point). But it was wrong.

This game is going to be FUN!

I thought was Hardaway throwing up an off balance three, but it ended up being some guy named Levert?

Was longer than a fraction of a second and the Louisville player had both hands on it.

What game were you watching?

The weirdest part of it is that UNI lost a chance to tie against Louisiville earlier in the year on virtually the same type of call. Except it was clearly a jump ball and they called a foul on the UNI player. I think they was even a thread on here about it.

Levertagain!

Incorrect.

Damn, that 3 was shot from Ann Arbor!

 

[Doc]

The Caris and Spike Show!

I dislike fundamentals talk except when there are Ds like Syracuse and Louisville involved. Shot fakes, ball fakes, correct passes, cuts to get open, footwork without the ball...it's against Ds like these where you see it really matter.

God damn, Michigan is on FIRE!

I thought Burke had dribbled himself into some real trouble there. I had no idea that McGarry was going to be right there.

Unless Syracuse suddenly begins hitting shots (or running any semblance of offense) ... this might turn into a 25-point beatdown.

McGarry vs Niang next year will be interesting

Interesting tidbit regarding Michigan - Syracuse game: Winner will have the longest current winning streak in National Semifinal games. Michigan has won their last 5 Semifinal games which is longest current streak and Syracuse has won their last 3 Semifinal games which is 2nd longest (tied with Kansas and Florida).

Longest Semifinal winning streaks:
UCLA 9
Kentucky 7
Duke 6
Michigan 5 (Current)
Kansas 4
Georgetown 4

You're a CF encyclopedia. :smile:

McGarry vs Niang next year will be interesting

If McGary stays.

I feel like this game is mimicking the Louisville vs WSU game.

 

[Mumbai1986]

This game is getting tense!

With this and the earlier post ("No team in this year's Final Four has been to the Championship since 2003..") .. I learned two new things today.

It typically takes me a month to accomplish that.:biggrin9gp:
