Final Four: Kansas 84, North Carolina 66 (Final)

[billmac91]

2 surprising things to me:

1) Lawson playing terrible with multiple turnovers and inability to score in the paint.

2) Roy Williams choosing to send individual messages to players by benching them after poor plays rather than keeping his best players on the court.

Billy Packer with 7:26 left in the first half: It's "over".

It's now 54-48 with 12:01 left. Care to rethink that, Billy?

Epic choke in progress here.

I mean 2004 Yankees, one for the ages chokejob here if Kansas doesn't pull it together.

We all should've seen this coming, it is Kansas in the NCAA tourney after all.

EDIT: I'm talking about recent Kansas teams.

I think Roy Williams strategy was to push the ball up and down the court in the first half and tire out Kansas. I saw him signal his players to continually push the ball even when they were down 20. He obviously thinks he has a deeper bench and his team is better conditioned. I really thought he blew it when they were down 27, but now at 58-53 and mo on his side he may be a genius......

only time and the rest of the second half will tell.....

 

[Best Buckeye]

It didn't work .

Kansas is finally playing some basketball (again).

EDIT: Bud Light Lime?? Ugh..

 

[CookyPuss]

Is it just me or do these refs suck? I have no allegiance to either of these teams, but I'd say UNC is getting hammered.

When is the last time Billy Packer contributed anything meaningful to a basketball broadcast?

Carolina straight op OWNED. This will be a great National Championship game.

Too bad they can't take away his Nat'l player of the year award for his performance tonight :tongue2:

17 points on 6/12 shooting and 9 rebounds isn't exactly terrible.

Why would they? He didn't earn it in the first place... his team did. He was not superior to Beasley.
