2019 NCAA Final Four in Minneapolis

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,821]

What a terrible fucking environment. I hate that college basketball now has these Final 4s at huge ass football stadiums. Even the view and depth perception on TV is weird. So many players have came out and said the depth perception when shooting in this huge stadiums is bad. Basketball is meant to played in cozy arenas. Like they do all year long.

Who would pay money to sit way the fuck back from a 94ft court?

I agree. Greed at its finest. Have they done away with football stadiums for regional finals at least? US bank stadium didnt host any games last year and usually that's an indicator of future final four sites. This year I think they were in all basketball arenas.


The site lines for a shooter shouldnt be fucked with for the biggest game in the sport, especially playing all season in natural basketball settings.

For me it does, but the team uses it a little differently

Coach Dale said it’s still just 10 feet from the rim to the floor.

We even  measured to the free-frow line. 15’  just like in Hick’ry.

Wow all of these gambling “experts “ are going to look really ignorant when Tech wins the game:

Please bring them back on after the game to make them look more ignorant than they already are.

[Wally Pryor 5,263]

I went to the last Final Four in a normal arena in Charlotte in '94.  After that when the NCAA went to stadiums for the FF at least they cut the stadium in 1/2 or maybe 2/3 to make it a a somewhat decent (just barely) configuration.  Then eventually they decided to open up the entire stadium for the game and the whole thing officially became fucked.  I got talked into going to the 2011 Final in Reliant and we had "lower" level seats but we may as well have been in Sealy watching the thing.   Simply terrible. 

[Huckleberry 33,096]

That grad transfer rule change proposal is exactly as stupid and terrible as you'd expect from the NCAA. Totally fuck up the one rule they have that offers the athlete some control while simultaneously offering a huge fucking carrot for graduating from college. You know, like those fuckers at the NCAA claim they care about.

Suck it all you Surly bitches!!!!!

Jim Nance. Sigh.

 

Wreck 'em, Tech.

[threesheets 1,674]

Pretty cool idea for the anthem.

Who is the third guy on the broadcast with Nantz and Raftery?

[retread 2,951]

Grant Hill

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,821]

Popeye Jones

[HoustonHorn 1,062]

Nantz is so painful when it comes to excitement. There needs to be an average of him and Gus Johnson. That would be just about right.

[PittsburghTiger 6,197]

Nantz is awful 

[Surly Bevo 25,152]

It's not Augusta....Nantz don't care

[Zepol87 9,191]

Refs were letting them play a little rough then call that. Weak

[TexasMan 10,987]

 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,821]

Meanwhile kevin Harlan isn't doing anything right now besides slaying 10s

[HoustonHorn 1,062]

This is the problem. I don't miss him calling golf.


On the other hand I can't listen to Gus Johnson either. Probably the best to call a game winning play or shot but he treats every play like that and it drives me nuts.

It's not Augusta....Nantz don't care

The rims always seem tighter with less give too. Probably because they are using goals that aren’t in use like at a regular basketball arena.

[Underdog 28,773]

Feels like UVa has been in control of this game but here they are up just 1. 

[PittsburghTiger 6,197]

This is a pretty good game

[Wally Fairway 5,586]

Virginia does know that they are allowed to shoot with more than 7 left on the shot clock, right

Pleasantly surprised by the score

Fairly cleanly played, Refs stayed out of the way for most part, neither team in bonus. 

[Welshy 907]

It really does look like every single seat in that arena is terrible.

That was a fast 1st half

That's true for most every game played in a football stadium - other than a few seats close, the stands are 20 yards from the court

[Welshy 907]

I get it. Still surprised the incline is so gradual.

I believe in ‘84 it was one game and out. That’s it

Eat shit, Phil.  

[Brian Fantana 6,690]

Wtf bullshit offense did Auburn trot out in this 2nd half?

[MNLonghornFUKM 8,821]

Keep chucking even if it isn't dropping

[Wally Fairway 5,586]

Good thing for Auburn that Virginia didn't want to exploit their drought by speeding up their offense. Crazy to not score in the first 5 minutes and be within a shot

[PittsburghTiger 6,197]

Is this in the Vikings stadium?
