Anyone watching? The Cardinals won, but the referees did everything in their power to keep Michigan in the game. Very unevenly called game. Louisville would get mugged at one end with no call, but if you exhaled next to a UM player, UL was called for a foul. And I say this as an impartial observer. My bracket died long, so I had no dog in the hunt.
It's 12:24 on Tuesday and there's no mention of the final outcome on the NOLA.com front page !! I fell asleep earlier and just woke up. Good to know that Tigerfan.com posters are more reliable than the "professionals at the Times Picayune. I guess TP does really stand for toilet paper these days !!!
That was the best, most entertaining game I have watched in a long time. I thought it was called pretty evenly.
I only saw the 2nd half, and i saw more awesome plays than you'd see on your typical SC Top Ten Plays of Day. Awesome game
It was a really good game from start to finish. Quite a few story lines and exciting plays. I love the way Siva plays but how does he not foul out of every game in the 1st half alone? Burke is only listed at 6'0 (I think) but plays like a 6'4 PG. That little freshman Spike couldn't miss in the 1st half and also couldn't stop playing with his hair.
What a great final four and CG. Best combination of games from the final four on that I have ever witnessed. Too bad the officiating didn't measure up to the excellence on the floor.
Siva is probably my favorite college pg, I'd love to see the Lakers somehow end up with him, he should be cheap. Feisty defensively, and great basketball iq.
