Saturday’s Men’s Final Four Thread.

[LionJim]

I just wanted to get this out here before heading to the gym.

This is shaping up to be a classic Final Four. I’ll be rooting for a Villanova-Duke final, with Villanova taking it all.

Also, I caught some of the UConn-Stanford women’s game last night and, boy, the level of talent and skill was quite impressive.

I like the way you think! And I am all in with my Wildcats... but a very tall task without Justin Moore. In Jay we trust! Go Nova!

Villanova vs. kansas: I have to go with kansas.

unc vs. DOOK. : DOOK. will win.

Go Wildcats! But if Kansas plays like they did in the 2nd half on Sunday against Miami, noone is beating them. Gonna be really tough without Moore. But the good news is I said there was no way that Nova could beat Houston, so there is that out there!

Wright had better win now because there’s no stopping the Micah Train. DOMINATE. THE. STATE.

Wright to be Sixers coach? Jay's got this....

As much as I’d like to see Kansas go down, I’d prefer to see Duke take them down in the finals. Of course, we have to get past the Heels first.

DeChellis to Villanova.

He’ll be one of Ed’s assistants.

DOOK. is at a significant disadvantage versus unc, going to class and all.

If Dook wins tonite. Let's plan a trip to Wyoming next week to attend TheGlov's viewing and funeral!

glov is really a DOOK. /Coach S fan. It’s high time he comes out of the closet.

I’m a little torn. I don’t know whether to this post or not.

Yeah, Kansas’ second half against Miami, that was total dominance. Still, I’ve seen too many teams play lights out in the Final 8 or 4 only to lose their next game. We shouldn’t put too much stock in this.

I'll even go myself!

We will fish the Little Firehole before we put you in the ground!

Nova has a size problem. 10-0, ku.

Kansas 10-2.

Kansas 19-8.

Kansas 26-11.

Kansas 40-29 at half.

 

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

Cats are shot full of holes, leaking oil, and the gas tank is punctured.

But still in the fight.

V's UP!

 

[Nohow]

Teams shooting 21/40 three pointers, better than two pointers.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Nova giving a gritty effort (no surprise). Down a starter, and against a terrific Kansas team, is quite a challenge.

Nova cuts KU's lead to 6 with 6 min left in the game.

 

[Nohow]

71-59 KU 3:30 to play

 

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

That shot-clock-beating 3 is probably a bridge too far.

Great players, great coaching, and cheated his *** off. Quite the trifecta.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

PLUS in most (maybe all) those years I think they only had to win 4 games not 6.

NCAA strikes again.

 

[BobPSU92]

kansas is a great team and just had too much size for Villanova tonight.

We have some really good people here who are Nova fans or alums. Sorry to you guys. I get it. Nova is what Penn State could be in men‘s basketball but chooses not to.

Wright and Nova will be back.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Final, Kansas over Nova, 81-65

 

[Tom McAndrew]

congrats @ILLINOISLION.

I'm likely to be rooting for your Rock, Chalk, Jayhawks over Duke or UNC on Monday.

No quit in the Wildcats.

I don't need to remind you, the 2016 and 2018 championship years we beat Kansas both times in the tournament. Tonight your guys were much the better team. Deep talent and played really well in a big spot. I believe the last ten VU-KU matchups are five a side each.

Congratulations and good luck Monday night!
