Saturday’s Men’s Final Four Thread.

[ILLINOISLION]

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.

Kansas is a solid well balanced team, but certainly not a great team. They are fortunate to have been strengthened by playing Baylor and Texas Tech and the rest of the conference throughout the year.

AND they are peaking at the right time…..the second half of the Miami game continued into tonight’s game. They had to play well to win tonight……I didn’t feel safe until under 2:00 left tonight.

 

[Relayer]

congrats @ILLINOISLION.

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

Without a doubt, and I am hardly a Kansas fan.

 

[WVilleLion]

Cannot cheer for any of the remaining three.

Did somebody say K is retiring after their final game? I didn't know that - is it true?

I guess everybody is rooting for him now.

Dude, everyone retires after their final game.

 

[BW Lion]

What’s noticeable in this game is how much larger all 10 players are

Perhaps it’s the camera angle.

 

[Nohow]

So far, the first game was much better played. Apparently the teams didn’t get the memo this was the greatest game ever.

 

[Bison13]

Five fouls to none

I don’t get it.

 

[BobPSU92]

Five fouls to none

I’m sure it’s all just a misunderstanding.

 

[Bison13]

Yeah don’t they know it’s coach shasheffski’s last season

 

[LionJim]

Boy, outstanding talent. One thing players nowadays have are efficient floaters. Floaters didn’t use to be a thing.

 

[Nohow]

Poor shooting. 4/20 on 3 pointers. 18/50 on 2 pointers.

 

[BobPSU92]

John for DOOK. would be better served not committing fouls.

 

[BobPSU92]

Halftime: DOOK. 37, unc 34

Shesheffski at halftime: “This is a hell of a game.”

 

[Nohow]

Both teams tight.
First half shooting abysmal so far:
28/71 fg .39
5/25 3 pointers .20
10/14 ft .71

Compare with first game:
51/111 fg .46
26/55 3 pointers .47
18/23 ft .78
(KU was more accurate thanNova)

 

[BobPSU92]

unc on an 11-0 run early in the 2nd half. unc up four.

 

[Nohow]

Both teams choking?

 

[BobPSU92]

67-67, 3:32 to go.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

74-73, Duke, with 1:18 left.

 

[Nohow]

Exciting game, 74-73 Duke. 1:18.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

unc on an 11-0 run early in the 2nd half. unc up four.

74-73, Duke, with 1:18 left.

Rooting for a nine overtime game! ‍

 

[Nohow]

Choked!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Duke misses 2 FTs with under 1 minute left, and trailing by 1. And then UNC nails a 3, and Duke with a 2.

78-76, UNC, with 17.4 sec left, and UNC going to the line for a 1+1

 

[Nohow]

Have to take a 3 there.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

79-76, UNC, with 10.4 sec left. Duke going to the stripe to shoot 2.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Duke only makes 1 FT, UNC gets the rebound, and Duke fouls with 7.8 sec left, and UNC up 79-77. UNC will shoot 2 FTs

 

[BobPSU92]

unc wins.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Final, UNC over Duke, 81-77

 

[Fox Chapel Lion II]

DOWN GOES THE EVIL EMPIRE!

 

[WVilleLion]

How fitting that two programs that have taken shortcuts in the past are in the final.

 

[nittanyfan333]

Poor shooting, choking in clutch. And what did glov do to win it?

 

[Liontown]

Ah poor baby!!

UNC announces cancellation of all of Monday's fake classes.

 

[BobPSU92]

Shesheffski had a pretty good run. Of course, he’s no jim boeheim.

 

[TheGlovStillRules]

I sent bad juju & bad karma thru my TV to the dookie players at the foul line!

It worked.
