That was an atrocious half. Uconn should just chuck. They will get enough offense rebounds for cheap baskets and it should be enough in the end.

If things don't change the winner of this game will likely be in the 50's score wise. That hasn't happened since Jimmy V's NC St beat Houston 54-52 in 1983

Just the type of unrefined opinion I'd expect from a Tennessee fan.

dat zone defense and team play

:lol

seriously...that was bad

I mean this in all seriousness. That was maybe the worst half of basketball I've ever seen, pro or college and excluding women's. I understand jitters, but that's supposed to end after the first 4 minutes or so.

This is an ugly ass game. The defense is decent, but the offense is just dreadful.

This isn't really true. The defense is really good, but the offenses are screening and passing pretty damn well. Dudes are just missing shots right now.

At this point college basketball's quality is almost entirely determined by the freshman class.

But its usually the teams with experience and talent that win. It is what it is. Even borderline NBA talent bolts at the 1st sign of money. Unless that changes, get used to your Butlers, your VCUs and George Masons.

OK, but I see way too many dweebs saying the game is terrible quality, when it's just extremely physical, slow tempo... but extremely well played. It just happens that both teams were cold in the first half.

Case in point!

It's like when the Super Bowl is low scoring and everyone bitches about how bad it is. Shut up, noobs!

Ben Howland probably watched that first half and jacked off the entire time.

Making shots is a fundamental part of basketball. Shooting 20% from the field is not "extremely well played" by any definition. If the Super Bowl is low scoring because of good defense and not poor, sloppy offense, than people wouldn't bitch.

It would like a football game with constant fumbles and dropped passes.

I have no problem with who is in the game as long as the game is good (last years was one of the best). And yeah I agree the teams that win have a good mix of the freshman phenoms and the Junior/Seniors with the needed experience.

0 assists for Kemba?

The halftime crew is right. That definitely needs to change in the 2nd half if UConn is gonna take this home.

In no way, shape or form is both teams shooting in the 20% range well played basketball. That's not even acceptable in high school basketball, let alone a championship game. It's truly terrible in every way.

But I guess they're just playing great zone D and team ball....

I didn't see it but I would imagine that the Penn St. / Wisconsin game that ended 36-33 would have been worse. That night Jimmer scored 52.

Butler's made pretty much every open shot I've seen them take. But okay, clearly they suck at shooting.

(they haven't many open looks)

Didn't Mike and mike have one of their intern's moms predict Butler and UConn in the finals and an absurdly low score? Be hilarious if she nails it.

Yes, any time the score is in the 30s you can be absolutely certain that not only was it slow paced, but a terribly played game.

Bad move for Shaka, VCU won't be back and he won't see those kind of offers again.
Click to expand...

You're crazy. Shaka was "smart" to stay. This Final 4 will have legs for nearly a decade at VCU. He knows he needs more experience. Besides, I heard the VCU matched his NC State offer. He can get VCU to the tourney a lot easier than NC State and he don't have to worry about players bouncing to the NBA. Besides, he is now king of Richmond and the city is in love with him. WHo needs big name schools when u are getting paid like one $$$?

Why go to a graveyard school where you are always looking up at UNC and Duke's ass all the time? It's like Barcelona and Read Madrid every year. If he went to NC State, then he'll be fired within 3 years if he can't meet expectation and get them in deep in the tourney. Heck, look at Anthony Grant....if he doesn't step it up then he may get axed.

NIT ain't good enough for the big boys.

This game is shades of the Penn St. Wisconsin debacle i witnessed in the B1G tourney. I couldn't even watch even as a UW alum.
Click to expand...
It might be a shade, but it's a weak shade of that debacle. 36-33.... a 36-33 friggin final score!!! Arghghghghhghg! At least this game should get into the 40s *fingers crossed*
