Crazy
Yeah he pushed Bell hard but it shouldn't have gotten to that point
That gets called if it's not in the final 5 seconds
If they would have boxed out they wouldn't have had to worry about that
Two failed box outs in a row

Man, Meeks looks so soft. We'll see on Monday though because the Zags have the trees to go toe to toe with Carolina.
PLS
There is nothing worse than a Carolina fan after winning a championship.

Feel for the guy but goddamn that was bad.

Well we wouldn't know what Gonzaga fans look like after winning a championship.
Hahahaha.

Michigan failed to box out Oregon on two late plays to lose. Oregon only had two offensive rebounds in the game...
There's like ten of them and they don't have T-shirt fans.
Or do they? I legitimately don't know.

Arguably the best two teams made the final.
Still feels like a down year overall team/talent wise.

Why feel bad for a guy that straight up choose not to give any effort in the most important moment of his teams season? Absolutely inexcusable. He also didn't learn his lesson and capitalize on a second chance even after his genuine carelessness failed him and his team the first time.

I got the pleasure of watching the games with an old timer fellow UK fan. Every comment was "If this was the Kentucky game they would have called this or that".
Of course that guy blames the ref for the loss like most of the older generation. Look I bleed blue I have all my life (29y/o male, KY) and I hate losing because of officiating but that was not the case in that UNC game. We had a chance and got beat. There have been games were bad calls lose games and I feel worse for those teams than when we get beat by a buzzer beater in the Elite 8 (almost).
Like this time and many others (still hate Wisconsin) I get mad for a bit but after not exposing myself to the Mae game winner for a day or two, I'm okay. I try to talk to sense in to fans that blame everything on the refs but there isn't much you can do there. For example that WVU loss in the elite 8 with Wall/Boogie. Everyone blamed the refs but WVU shot lights out and slowed us down. They won. I was so mad about it but didn't blame the refs. Hell I even woke up at 2am in Iraq before a 12 hr shift at 8am to watch the damn game.
I'm not a fan of Higgins because of all the hooplah but I've never watched a game and just stared at him waiting on him to fuck up because they all do. Plus I'm sure the other fans will bring it to my attention and then I'll decide if it was that bad. As long as the game is called fair or at least the same on both ends I'm alright. Although I wish they'd let them play a bit more.
Edit: I wasn't keeping up with the thread during the game but did any Ducks fans bitch about the last rebound. I mean clearly Meeks wasn't blocked out but both Oregon players on either side were pushed under the basket. What is the exact rule on rebounds? If you don't box out other guys can just body you up and move you as long as they don't extend their arms?

Side complaint, but I hate the start time for this.
I know they push late because of the West Coast, but for East Coast people starting at basically 9:30 is crazy.
