And with that....

[WarriorInNYC]

We can still make fun of Bucky for their most recent championship being in 1941. 

Now let's run them out of their gym next season and make the world right again

So get off your seat and Jump Around!

That's what I was telling my son.  It took the 5th or 6th replay to make it look like Duke even touched it, but wow it was a fingernail....but that would have been a foul any other time during the game.  He was clobbered by Koenig.

I agree with this in spirit, but the refs are supposed to follow the rules.

It was obvious that the ball went off of Winslow. Obvious to millions and millions of fans. They looked at the replay a gazillion times, and we all saw it, too.

I think Duke would have won anyway, but we'll never know. I know I'm sure glad Bucky didn't get the call or the game.

Congrats to UW. They'll go down in history like Utah.  Great coach who's program declines shortly after the coach leaves.  MU will quickly regain the title as Wisconsin/Midwest's best team.

I can see MU regaining the "title" as Wisconsin's best team but the Midwest's best?  The same midwest that includes Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, etc, etc? (not really sure if Kansas is considered midwest but my point stands)

It was obvious on my 60" HD television after seeing multiple angles and having them reverse slow mow it.  Not sure the refs had that same look.  For that matter, I don't even know what replays the refs had, but I do agree with you that if they had the same look, the same size TV, etc, then they should have called it.

Of course, plenty of bad calls on the other side as well.  I think what they will be kicking themselves with is a 9 point lead and Duke in major foul trouble.  I said yesterday foul trouble was a huge thing to look out for.  UW-madison had a huge advantage there and couldn't take advantage of it.

Missouri ?

Ehh guess I was just having flashbacks of the tourny in 2009

[ShootinOutWallsofHeartach]

I hope you guys are happy that college basketball championships are only for the blue bloods anymore

You guys had a great season, but you don't know how to win, and you certainly don't know how to lose. Back to the hedgehog hole. '41 and 0

Boo f'ing hoo. We all know the Vadgers have never received a gift from the refs.

I think that's what I said...bad calls both ways.  Duke was the better team.

[keefe]

F uck Wisconsin. I care as much about them as I do the University of Montana. I hope they never win any games, if only to frustrate the idiots who over rate that school in Madison.

Great season? Who cares! Screw them.

You have to set your goals accordingly.  MSU, OSU and Kansas should be considered peers of Marquette. Never accept being looked over and considered 2nd rate.

Yup, I was agreeing with you. The eye roll is directly at all those pathetic Vadger fans who scream after one foul is called against UW.

Excellent analysis on the overall game. Bucky had the Dookies right where they wanted them and shat the bed!

But as for the replay not being on big enough HD screens ... aren't the refs' monitors about the same size as the monitors the announcers have? The announcers clearly saw the same thing millions at home did, and said so about 20 times.

One thing's for sure: If replay can't reverse that call, they might as well not even have it as an option.

What's your beef with the Grizz?

I'm pretty sure you are getting laid for the next month

[tower912]

Thank you, coach k, for selling Wojo on Marquette and for making badger fans cry.    I will never say another bad word about you. 

[statnik]

Yeah, cause we never saw Final Four runs by Butler, George Mason, VCU, Wichita State, etc. over the past decade.

In the end, though, all the last 12 champions are top 20 historical programs, and most of them top 10.  I love parity, but college basketball doesn't have it at the top.

I think the refs finished their review before CBS was even putting up the super slo-mo replay that finally showed the contact

Unbelievable.  Extremely unfair and ungracious things to say...about University of Montana.

Obvious?  No video showed the hand actually touching the ball, although it's clearly right there.  Some guy has a YouTube video where the picture is blown up until all that's left is the hand and the ball and in super slow motion, and he's like there, there for a micro second you can see a finger bend, so it must have touched the ball.

Yep. Tough break on that one.

You're right because I forgot about that champion from the Power conference that is the American .... LAST YEAR.
