Oklahoma 60, N. Carolina 72 (Final)

If the early pace of calls continues the Sooners will end up with about 40 fouls against them.

Your comment didn't allow enough time to be statistically significant. Tough call on Hansflopper to give him 2 early.

I wasn't attempting to be statistically significant. I'll be sure to use the sarcasm font next time.

Good lord Griffin already has 8 rebounds with 10 minutes to go in the first half.

My bad, I thought you were saying there was a bias in reffing towards UNC.

I didn't take the 40-foul pace part literally - just the implication of early bias.

 

[Jake]

Hansbrough is on the bench and OU is launching (and missing) threes.

Well, I do think UNC gets their share of the calls most days but Hansbrough having two early does fly in the face of it today.

OU had 5 calls on them in less than 4 minutes. I think that pace, even if it is both ways, doesn't make for good basketball.

Let 'em play, refs.

At the half someone needs to tell these damn zebras to put their whistles in their pockets for the second half.

Danny Green is playing great tonight, 28-16 Heels with 5:19 to go.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

it's awesome watching this team that has been cold shooting the entire tournament turn it on for Syracuse, and then turn it right back off. much appreciated, assholes.

 

[CentralMOBuck]

Griffin has 0 points when TH is in the game, but 11 when he is not.

Clark Kellog says some of the funniest shit. Glad he's doing the final four! Now if they would kick Jim Nantz out and put Kellog with Jay Bilas.

"That's yelium. Yeast that rises and helium for air. Go get it Blake Griffin."

 

[BuckeyeMafia]

Damn, root for the home town heroes, or the Big Ten club?

UNC is destroying everyone.

 

[Jake]

Credit to OU for not giving up. They've outscored UNC 13-4 to cut the deficit to 12 but only 3+ minutes remain. It would be the stuff of legends if the Heels blew this one.

 

[LitlBuck]

I disagree. I think Hansborough is going to show Blake Griffin a level of intensity that he hasn't seen before.

Well, I guess Griffin has seen that "intensity" and it did not faze him very much. I thought maybe it might be an even match up between the two but it wasn't even close. Blake Griffin is Mr. College Basketball 2009 and it isn't even close IMO

Was there anyone out there that thought Griffin wasn't going to get his 20 points and 10+ rebounds? If you did think that, you might be delusional or you haven't paid attention to much College Basketball this year. IMO Roy Williams was spot on when describing Griffin.

"He's a load. Please don't make this to be a comparison -- [but] he is LeBron James-like. He's got such a package of strength, explosiveness, touch, power. You know, it's hard to match that. In person, when you're sitting on that bench, it even looks more awesome than it does when I'm watching it on TV."
