What is the opposite of congratulations?

I've never rooted more for Louisville in anything in my life. Probably never will root for them as much (ever again).

Phew!

The whole conference thing has limits.

Yep, a Scum team that finished 4th in the Big Ten almost beat the Big East champ.....

Really scum fan? This just happened on another forum I visit (a film fan forum, not sports related):

Scum fan:

Well, that was utter bullshit. Officiating just got worse and worse. They handed that championship to Louisville. Call me bitter, whatever. I'm able to admit when the team I root for just wasn't the better team. Not the case tonight. They got away with murder in the paint and in any scrum. Would have been a great game with competent officiating.

Me:

Were we watching the same game? I actually made a post elsewhere with about 5 minutes left Congratulating Michigan on the championship that the refs were gifting them with all the calls. Every time michigan drove the lane it was a foul, while Louisville would get hacked on 2 and 3 shot attempts down low without a single call. What was the foul count before the mandatory fouling the last minute? 17 to 5 or so? Heck, the refs still were hesitant to call a foul on yellow when they were hacking Louisville on purpose. It was poorly called all around, but if anything I thought it actually favored the Wolverines in the 2nd half.

Scum fan:

There is zero purpose in you and I having this discussion, so let's not.

God Bless Rick Pitinio and the fine University of Louisville.

Can't be quoted enough.

They did God's work tonight.

Is it weird that Indiana is on the other end of the court cutting down nets for making the NCAA Tournament?

 

[VBSJ]

I apologize to both my floor and my wall for punching them continuously when Spike Albrecht couldn't miss in the first half.

As an aside, is it just me, or is Tim Hardaway the most overrated player in the Big Ten in quite some time? He had a very "Tim Hardaway" night tonight--5 for 13 from the field, 0-4 from 3, 2-4 from FT line, all to get to a measly 12 points.

 

[WolverineMike]

the refs were pretty horrendous towards both teams. Definitely can't put anything on them.


Louisville was just to deep. Still a great season. Hopefully a couple decide to come back now.......

 

[jlb1705]

Dieng was gonna cut the whole damn net.

 

[VBSJ]

There were seriously times during that game I thought Russ Smith was on the "take" or something.

Cool hand Luke MOP.... Well deserved, shot the Cards back into the game in the first half

the refs were pretty horrendous towards both teams. Definitely can't put anything on them.

I realize I'm biased, but I really don't see how TSUN fans can complain about officiating (or say that it was horrendous towards both teams), considering:

- they were in the bonus at the under 12 timeout
- they were in the double bonus when Louisville wasn't even in the bonus
- total fouls were 15 called on TSUN, 22 called on Louisville (and that's taking into account TSUN intentionally fouling at the end--not sure how many this was, but I'm thinking it was 4--2 to get Louisville into the bonus, and then I think Louisville had 2 1-and-1's). Taking those out, Louisville was called for twice as many fouls as TSUN

You may complain about the lack of goaltending call in the first half, but when you look at the whole game, I don't see how it is that you aren't elated with how the refs treated your team tonight.
