Final

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

This has been a terrible 2nd half.  Between the refs and the poor shooting - not exciting at all.

[Norm]

This is the worst played final game since Maryland v Indiana. Terrible game to watch.

[Oldgym]

Raft said it best. If it goes OT, it'll just be a bunch of guards left playing.

[DJO's Jaw]

It's been pretty damn unwatchable, that's for sure

[wadesworld]

I know it'll never happen because all that matters is money but if you want a clean Final Four these games should be played in basketball arenas.

Also these refs are completely changing the outcome of the game. Too many whistles. Not to mention unless you are ENTIRELY certain that the ball was tipped you cannot change another ref's out of bounds call on a ball that, in fact, was not tipped.

Vacated...?

Thought exactly that

Poop

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

The game was decided by NWG's ankle

[MUWarrior4Life]

I'll take it, bet on NC!! Vegas where's my money!!!

[SaveOD238]

The game was decided by NWG's ankle

I was texting TAMU that NWG was the best player on the floor at basically the moment he rolled the ankle.  Blame me for the bad karma...

[Tugg Speedman]

Crime does pay

[StillAWarrior]

Think the refs go to the locker room, call their wives and say, "Honey, did you see me on TV?"

That was awful. Let them play.

[wadesworld]

Ehh. I always find it hard to say a game was lost on either a missed rebound or an injury when that team was trailing. Not to mention Williams-Goss missed quite a few looks at the rim short. And not sure his ankle had anything to do with Meeks blocking his shot when they were down 3 with 20 seconds left. Needed to keep his dribble or kick it out. No way he was getting that shot off.

[AZMarqfan]

a huge play in the last minute was under the Carolina basket when the UNC player on the ground had the ball in one hand and his other hand clearly out of bounds.  Moments later the refs called it a jump ball.  That play hurt.

I know it'll never happen because all that matters is money but if you want a clean Final Four these games should be played in basketball arenas.

Totally agree, but its been this way for so long now they'll probably never go back.

[nyg]

Probably the worst played championship game in ages, too many fouls, missed chucked threes, missed free throws(close to 50%?), turnovers, well everything.  But last minute, UNC played great defense and that did it. 

Good run by Zags, but came a bit short. 

OK, lets get next year going with a good recruiting week for MU. 

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Why are UNC fans booing Mark E? He hasn't done anything to hold them accountable for the widespread academic fraud that benefited their basketball and football programs.

[Norm]

Wonder if the NCAA will ever take action against UNC for one of the biggest academic scandals of all time. They sure don't seem to be in a rush to do anything.

[Osiris]

Refs (and Nantz and co) missed the play of the game at the 0:49.1 mark.  Tough to be a held ball when Meeks has his hand on the end line.  They found a reason to stop play on every other occasion, too bad they couldn't stop and take a look to get the biggest call of the night right.  I suppose some of that is on Few and his staff but someone needs to be telling them to get to the monitor.

[Herman Cain]

Why are UNC fans booing Mark E? He hasn't done anything to hold them accountable for the widespread academic fraud that benefited their basketball and football programs.

Football was penalized

[StillAWarrior]

Why are UNC fans booing Mark E? He hasn't done anything to hold them accountable for the widespread academic fraud that benefited their basketball and football programs.

And all the other students. Don't forget that. UNC Athletics doesn't cheat; UNC offers bogus classes to all its students. 

[MU62]

How do they pick the refs for the final game.  Calls against Collins were horrible.  Calls in general were pathetic.  I really want to know how this selection of refs took place because two of them - one of those in particular - were  beyond comprehension.
