Loyola Chicago up 7 at the half on Michigan. They're 24-0 when leading at halftime.

Loyola with a meltdown so embarrassing, it's like Doc Rivers was coaching them.

Michigan was playing like that Butler team that shat their pants in their last final, too. I'm definitely putting money on Kansas/Nova winner.

Kansas/Nova isn't even fun to watch because of the three-point chucker ball being played.

Kansas is beating Villanova 18-4 in points in the paint and they're still getting blown out. The three-point shot is broken.

Tech held Nova to like 4-25 from 3pt land and still lost so maybe they're just good....

Not hating on Villanova, of course they're good. And the Clippers may very well draft Mikal Bridges, so I'm excited about that. But this style of play is just straight-up boring and one-dimensional.

College basketball has always been like that. It's why I have hated it for years.

:lol at anyone who is talking shit about an 11 seed getting to the Final Four and losing

Having to see that ego driven decrepit old nun stealing the spotlight from the players who actually won the games was reason enough to pull against Loyola.

Still very early, but three-point chucker ball isn't working for Nova so far against a real defense... already 1-9 so far.

Of course, this DiVincenzo guy is going full Curry now.

Why does that German hedge early and trap every PNR at the top of the key? Someone is obviously always going to be open if the ball handler is patient. Either wide open lay-up or wide open three pointer.

Pretty simple. Stop trapping.

Boring ass shit. Moving the ball around just to get rid of it, every other play is improvisation.

I wanted to be out in Vegas but my plans changed. Glad they did b/c I liked the over 145. I also liked the -7 Villanova to a lesser extent; but I probably would've ended up on the losing side of the ledger.

Not sure nuns are all that ego driven. She was a source of motivation / symbol of hope, tbh. If it got overplayed, blame the institution or media, tbh.

That DiVicenzo kid got really hot tonight, off the bench.

Reminded of how Freshman bench guy Toby Bailey of UCLA suddenly became hot and became the XFactor, on the first NCAA Final I saw broadcast live via satellite, when i was a young teen. Mid 1990s.

Same as the young Ron Mercer for Kentucky.

I deeply regret using that word. I was 15 at the time but that's no excuse.

I picked Nova from the very beginning of my bracket. Even though my brackets was busted as all fuck, I had them as the champs. They can hit from everywhere. Very good ball club.

This is usually a sign of low BBIQ, common in big men who get court time mainly due to their size. They just do what the coach tells them without really understanding why they are doing it.

Bottom line.........everyone and their mamma shoots 3's now adays. Its just some teams shoot better than others and they have a distinct advantage in the win column.

Example: Golden State Warriors

White dudes who hang with black dudes saying nigga with the a doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. The use isn’t intended to be hateful. I would bet he uses it with his teammates. It feels like he acts black anyway. The article said he also used derogatory gay terms, which would seem to be a bigger deal because he likely used those terms in a hateful way.

The bigger issue is what people do online with their social media accounts. You can never be too safe about what you post because it may come back to you later on. But being a 14-15 year old kid not yet in college sports, it’s understandable he wouldn’t have thought about that at the time.
