Hahaha, wow, that is hilarious! It looks like he retired. :hmm:

Kinda taking it a little too hard, although if I had internet when UNLV made their last run I would have laughed in any anyones face who thought a team would be within 20. Definitely would have been posting it.

This was a rough tourney to watch...If UNLV couldnt go undefeated I didnt want Kentucky to do it. But Wisconsin fans started talking so much shit, and that started the week before when they beat Arizona, and it went up to 11 after beating Kentucky, so I didnt want to route for them. And I sure as hell aint gonna route for Duke. My only shot at a reasonable ending was MSU, but I just had a feeling MSU's title was simply reaching the final four.

I can tell this is gonna be a rough year watching sports. First a Pac 12 team loses the title game, then the Pats win, and now Duke. Probably best to just write this year off and not watch anything until football rolls around.

Read any mock draft, and they have Dekker in top 15 or top 10 and his stock gotten higher and higher with his performance the past couple of weeks. Dekker will be very solid in the NBA. He's a smart, 6'9" forward that can handle the ball and shoot the 3/FT. Not to mention he grew 2" in the past year or so... he was 6'7" last year.

Dekker and Kaminsky will be interesting to follow in the NBA. Dekker is an amazing ball handler for a 6-9 white dude. A little bit of Larry Bird in him?

You just never know how these guys will work out. I have the pleasure of watching the Golden State Warriors on CSN almost every time they play and it has been really fun watching Draymond Green develop into the player he is now. When they drafted him two years ago I didn't think he'd go very far but now he's one of my favorites to watch with that tenacious defense and aggressive play.

Picking Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia for next year's final four. Look out for Maryland.. Trimble and Stone are going to make some waves.

This may not be shocking to folks but there really is no (good) excuse for this. Apparently the officials didn't even see the angle we saw on TV that showed the Duke player tipping the ball on the bad call towards end of the game.

That took about 2 minutes of professional video editors to single out. Presumably some of the best in the industry if they are doing the mens final. What do you expect from referees? It came down to about 1-2 frames when zoomed in to see the finger actually bend backwards.

Nope. The first time they showed that angle on TV, it was obvious, at least to me and my 10-year old son. We did not care who won, BTW.

Oh and one other off topic comment...Krzyzewski seems to have found the fountain of youth. Dude doesn't look like a guy who's almost 70.

At a previous job, I was walking down the hall and saw a guy approaching me. He looked familiar but I couldn't place him. As he got closer, I realized who it was -- Coach K! I was surprised how short he was in real life. I just smiled and nodded and he did the same.
