Final 4 thread

nova sucked. cry ur way home. were better

Cheating sacks of crap Kansas wins.   Soon to be vacated I hope

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Why would their title be vacated?

[MuggsyB]

Great season for Nova but ultimately a failure and should put Jay Wright squarely on the hot seat entering 2022-23.

They couldn't guard Kansas.  Especially inside. 

[rocky_warrior]

Game over.  Start the bus, call the hookers and get some coke

Acquiring the coke should have happened much earlier, fwiw. Hookers are a dime a dozen.

[Daniel]

Why would their title be vacated?

Because Kansas in under investigation for recruiting violations including a recording it is claimed of Self (through their shoe company) offering $100k to a player if he commits to Kansas.

Can Jay Wright win the big game?

[bradforster]

Can Jay Wright win the big game?

No, he clearly can't get over that hump. 

[MuggsyB]

It's unfamiliar territory but I'll be rooting for UNC.

Pretty sure you are talking about Will Wade being recorded.

Regardless, I hope the kid got the $100,000. 

[MUEng92]

Well... the MU uniform made the Final four....pregame highlights, so we've got that going for us

[Herman Cain]

Rooting for UNC

[Johnny B]

go theo?

[MuggsyB]

I hate to say it but they really need to get rid of all three of these guys.  They honestly are just not good.  Raff was good but they really should find a different crew.  Ian Eagle for sure and probably Spanarkel and a 3rd

Five level 1 allegations tells me that Kan$a$ and $elf are a bunch of cheaters.

They're horrible Johnny.  The fake laughter by Nantz and Hill?  What's up with that?  And Raff is well past his prime.  Time for some new blood.

I just don't like the cut of his jib.

Sadly, agree with you about Raf. He has a half-dozen catchphrases he can't wait to spit out, he makes obscure references to stuff that happened even before I was born, and he talks in jargon the rare times he actually tries to provide analysis.

Eagle and Spanarkel would be great. Harlan or Gus Johnson would be good pbp, too. Brian Butch is way better than Grant Hill.

But at least these guys aren't SO bad that it affects the enjoyment of the game, like some of the REALLY bad ones.

Yes.   I want anyone to win but the,  preferably Duke as UNC has their 18 year run of paper classes

Here's the bottom line:  Nantz is still good  at golf but he is nowhere near as good as Ian Eagle.  It's not close.  And frankly Harlan, Anderson, and Gus Johnson are better as well..

HIll is laughably bad and brings zero to the broadcast.
