Final Four Open Thread

by Mike Rutherford on Apr 5, 2008 6:48 PM EDT in News Comment 10 comments

The moment the clock hit zero in Charlotte last Saturday, my interest in the tournament was immediately limited to Davidson's run and seeing Memphis State lose. The latter will be fueling my viewing this evening.

I've got Carolina and UCLA, but only because come Monday I want to me one of the literally hundreds of thousands of people imprudently bragging about their accurate national title game prediction. The part of me that doesn't long for quasi-vindication has UNC and World Wide Wes University advancing to play for it all.

It's Jim Nantz's weekend, the rest of us are just listening...angrily.

Billy Packer doesn't deserve his job.

Packer just said

that Joey Dorsey has been a "model citizen" over the last month. Well, I guess he hasn't killed anybody, which is something.

Enough Already

If I hear about how unappreciated Memphis State is, just one more time, I'm going to kill a kitten or a puppy. Freddy

I wonder..

..if Bilas/Enberg will be watching the game together and "announcing" how good UNC is the whole time?

Over/under on the number of times Hansbrough is praised for his hard work or "motor": 35.

I don't know if I'll be able to watch this whole game. Once UL loses its like, what's the point?

but i love seeing UNC get spanked. Lets see Hansbrough "effort" his way out of this one

Big Ty can't get away with coming over

the back all game

If NC can't win...then punish them

im now completely confident that

we would have spanked them if we had played them away from home

I agree........

Adam. I never doubted that we would have, could have beaten them on a neutral court. Yes, they were a really, really good team but excuse me? So was U of L.

Kansas

As a life long Kansas fan, heart breaking loses in March/April just roll off my back anymore. However, I nearly threw up when it became a 4 point game in the second half. When it was over, I was emotionally drained and could do nothing but go to bed.
