***Michigan vs Louisville***Offical National NCAA championship game thread

It will be nice to have Burke back.....

Louisville's D is something else.....

This is a classic basketball game.....

 

[twinlaker]

Anybody care to guess which way the refs call the game in the 2nd half? Might as well flip a coin, absolutely no consistency.

Who is this Burke you speak of? You mean Spike?

Much tighter in second half.

Sans officiating....great game.

Most of us dislike or couldn't give a darn about Michigan in any other game but tonight we complain about the officiating on their behalf.

Consistently inconsistent, to be polite.

Burke to start. Go from there.

There hasn't been a college game that has approached Kentucky-Duke 1992....there may never be....but this first half at least gives this game a shot...it wasn't as good a first half as Kentucky-Duke was...but this is the title game..gonna need an epic ending

Kentucky vs. Duke (March 28, 1992)

Wow. Another white kid is shooting the lights out now. Josh, are you paying attention?

Yeah, in a game, BFD. The real question is.....does he kill it in practice?

It is essential that Michigan gets Burke back in the game.....

Player of the year and all, and Spike is being covered very well. The same way Hancock should have been covered.....

Agreed jack! Will be interesting to see if he can handle the pressure that will be on him this half.

Let's see him earn that trophy, TL.....

Other than the officiating, that was a fun half of basketball.

I watched that game at Methodist Hospital the day after my son was born.....

It's a lot funner when you don't really care too much about the outcome and aren't nervous about it. You can just sit back and watch and enjoy the game.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

The bumping and hand checking HAS to start being called.

 

[LawVHawk]

Did I miss it or did Pitino not allow cameras in his locker room at halftime?

 

[MNHawkeyeFreak]

I don't know how they can just hang on to the ball handler and not be called for a foul.

Its crazy. Its like playground ball.

It probably will...toward the end of the game when we find out who the refs want to win.
