TTech just suffocating Sparty on D, though Sparty is making it pretty easy for them by being so stagnant with the ball. This Mooney kid for Tech has been outstanding.

Yeah their defense is absolutely solid.

Think it's more likely Virginia wins, but Texas Tech has hot shooters...so wouldn't be surprising.

Biggest deal in Lubbock since...... Buddy Holly?

Team that score 50 will win.

Lost in all of the controversy surrounding the final foul on the three-pointer.

Refs completely missed the blatant double dribble when Ty Jerome was trying to bring the ball up the court for the Cavs. He dribbled it off his foot and lost possession, which should have ended his dribble and made the final play never even happen.

Also, in a "this grinds my gear" comment here is my annual complaint against the start time of the National Title game.

9pm on a school night is not exactly good for reaching the young people with the sport.

It’s all about the West Coast viewing audience. If One Shining Moment happens before midnight most years, it’s a miracle. The game itself should only take 2 hours (less with 2 defensive teams this year) but with interminable TV timeouts and an extended halftime, it goes much longer. But it’s not gonna change anytime soon.

UVA-Tech

Might be more points if they had a football game

Also I understand the dollars behind the 9pm start but I still reserve the right to say it sucks

I am definitely not a die-hard (college) sports fan, so can any of the resident CBB experts give an unbiased opinion of how good/bad new Razorbacks coach Eric Musselman is? (I kind of liked how his predecessor, Mike Anderson, handled himself, so I am not that excited about the change in the first place.)

Postby **Orlando Penguin** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 7:53 pm

I think Musselman will keep the up-tempo style that Arkansas fans are accustomed to. But I don’t know if his demeanor is suited for the stresses of the SEC schedule. I think he’s wound too tight much like his father is. Sports Illustrated did a nice article on him and his father’s influence back in December. It’s a good read so you should go look it up. He had a really good amount of talent on that team this year but they fizzled out by mid-February.

I literally forgot about the game.

Postby **willeyeam** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 9:02 pm

If only Mussleman was up tempo enough to bring back 40 minutes of hell

I literally forgot about the game.

The bad news is you still have time to forget again

Guns up!

First half picked up pretty well over the last ten minutes. Now it's time for bed

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 10:47 pm

Texas Tech is not playing great defense this half.

Postby **shafnutz05** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 10:50 pm

Blah... 1 seed gonna win

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 11:10 pm

This is fantastic sport.

Postby **slappybrown** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 11:40 pm

I want to go to bed pls no double OT

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 11:41 pm

Virginia saved by the stripes again.

Postby **MWB** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 11:43 pm

I hate when the overturn a call like that when a team knocks the ball out of bounds.

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 11:44 pm

Such an asinine way for the game to end.
