Final Four in San Antonio

[Texas Orange 4]

Villanova was the only elite team in the nation this year. CBB has gone downhill. Usually there are at least 2 or 3 elite teams, sometimes 4 or 5. This year 1 elite team in the whole nation.

That’s what happens when you rent players for a few months. Does Nova have any 1-and-dones? I know they started 4 jrs and 1 frosh.

The only one-and-done I remember for Villanova was Tim Thomas, back in the late 90s.

[Horny Bull 2766]

That block was vicious. 

[phdhorn 6224]

DV with a helluva move.

I thought the same exact thing - but hey, all movies are better when the women are the leads, so it is written, so it is done.

 

[AUS-97HORN 11894]

Michigan could build a house with all these bricks

[PittsburghTiger 6252]

Nova better not go to sleep

[BERT 4444]

OH MY!!!!!

[runthebone 8183]

Balls out

[phdhorn 6224]

DV is just killing Mich.

Nova's last four recruiting classes averaged #35 in the nation. They don't have any top level "talent" to leave after freshman year.

[BERT 4444]

DiVincenzo is playing out of his mind. Good lord 

[taybo20 2976]

DD is just fucking insane... I wish we had someone that could shoot like that

[AUS-97HORN 11894]

oh wow... this 6th man should be the fucking starter, got damn!

[phdhorn 6224]

MVP for DV tonight.

[Tailleur17 361]

Congrats to Villanova. 

[Horny Bull 2766]

Goodness, that kid is on fire. 

[Braff Zacklin 13672]

One of the most dominant performances by one person in a final I've ever seen. Dude is everywhere at once.

That mofo cold as ice.

[Dean Gullberry 37]

[No] This one is over [Greenspoint]

[AUS-97HORN 11894]

for the record, I now want to strangle apple.... every one of their recent ads regarding their new phones suck ass.

this face id ad is the worst

[Vic Mackey 47435]

2 in 3 years for Villanova. Another finals loss for Michigan.

[PittsburghTiger 6252]

Philly gon burn!

[Wally Pryor 5315]

He's the best player on 300 D-1 teams but comes off the bench for this one.  That's Nova, and why they're laying waste to UM tonight.

Really, really good team.

[Bartles 769]

It's like if Grayson Allen was both talented and not a dick

[Wally Pryor 5315]

Just waiting for a Gary McClain interview.

It was over before it was played. The best team in the nation vs a team that shouldnt have made it out of the sweet 16. Easy

Team being the key word. Too many coaches recruiting indivuals and putting individuals on the floor who play for themselves.

Yep, though I think 'Melo's game in the Final is still the best I've ever watched personally

[Texas Orange 4]

Great googly moogly. Rapaport may go for 40...

[AUS-97HORN 11894]

maybe thats why he plays from the bench... cant hit a free throw?

Jay Wright has caught on to what Bill Self has caught on to too and what every other coach in the nation should catch on to--One and done's are fool's gold. The dance is dominated by complete teams with upperclassmen who have played together. What you want to recruit in CBB is guys who have a nice ceiling that is just under NBA level. The one-and-dones just disrupt continuity and tend to flame out in the dance even if they have a great regular season statistic wise. The only time a one-and-done team has won the title is Calipari's 2015 team and they had the ridiculous combo of Anthony Davis and Marquis Teague and some others.

Yup.  They pass up the good shot for a better one, and the better ones for a layup.

michigan telecast is good. Just showed desmond howard laughing and shaking his head

[AUS-97HORN 11894]

well- if you can hit 3 pointers almost at will, you will most likely win bigly

[kingkoopa6 8482]

damn these fools got stroke!

[BERT 4444]

That’s the amazing thing about Nova, every player on the court can drain the 3 at will 

[PittsburghTiger 6252]

Doesn't look like Michigan will hit their 74-point average per game.

It helps their defense so much too. Every time they hit a dagger 3, the other team runs down court and jacks up a stupid shot.

Yeah, that's nearly impossible for a defense to deal with. Hoiberg was doing that at ISU and he had that one team that did that and should've gone far in the dance that year but they got jobbed by the refs and Aaron Craft when they played OSU at some venue in Ohio that day.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8921]

Surrender cobra into a face melt is a good move, might steal that for football season

[Brian Fantana 6727]

Scary thing about Nova is they don't even need the 3 point shot to win.

[Bevojoe 44]

Michigan done gone to hell. Nova is cruising.
