Title: NCAA Champs

They're not my team, but they are a Kentucky team. Congratulatrions to the Louisville Cardinals!  :congrats:

Yep, they won it.  It was pretty difficult for me.  I found myself cheering for the Big 10 and against Michigan at the same time.  Terrible position to be in.

While not related to this game any more than all the other games, but is anyone else old enough to remember when making contact with another player was a foul?  Those days sure are gone!

Go Cardinals!   I'm a Big Blue fan but the Louisville Cardinals are next in line. 

Tonight is the final of the Women's NCAA tournament and the Louisville women's team is in the finals.   If they win, we got both championships in the Blue Grass State!   :yoyo:

That game was about as good as it gets.  I'll be pulling for the Louisville women tonight, but they sure have a tough climb to beat Connecticut.

I actually enjoyed the final four more than the championship game.

I enjoy most of the college playoff games.  They seem to get on rolls and being down or up 10 doesn't matter all that much.  Now if they could cut down on the commercials   :sad:  during the game I would be even happier.

I was hoping that Arizona would beat Ohio State so that I could harass you and HaMeR

They darn near did.  But I think it was because they had an Ohio State coach.    :iroll:    I really don't get to fired up about the outcome of games.  I do like it when a team that I like wins, but it doesn't cost me anything when they lose nor do I get paid anything if they win. Now if my salary or someone in my family's salary depended on them winning it would be entirely different.

About the same era as only touching the top of the ball while dribbling.....  Before my time but I have watched the clips.

This was a weak first post by me.......

It could have been much worse.  And for what it is worth I did play after "most" players had quit the underhand shots from the foul line.   :rolleye:   So how many remember those?

Yep, it worked for him.  Second highest percentage of shots made from the foul line.

Can't argue that..... Especially with the percentages they throw up now.  they need to show the kids this video and remind them there are no points for style..... Drives me crazy!

Oh NO!  Shooting like that wouldn't be "kewl".  It is better to miss more shots.
