Title Game: Mich St 72, UNC 89 (Final)

Although I picked NC to win the NC, this MSU team is probably the last one they would have ever wanted to face in the Finals. Tough up front and hit the boards like monsters. They might at times put you to sleep, but when you wake up you're down by 10. Summers might foul out in the first half, but he'll be on Lawson like the flesh eating virus. From top to bottom, it isn't close, NC is superior. But, with all the "stars" that NC has, I just see MSU putting up the fight of their lifes tomorrow, and making this one of the best NC games ever. I'm not gonna "say" MSU is a lock to win, but they are a "Lock" to cover. With 30 seconds left in this game, it will be up for grabs.

Peace.

Predictions and Prognostications like THIS are exactly why I wake up every morning and thank GOD that I don't bet real $$$ on sporting events. Cuzz I SUCK at it!

Peace.

I'm sweating bullets here. I am going to tie for my work bracket, because we both have UNC winning. The tiebreaker will be key. I have 170 points and he has 128 points. I need 150 or more to take the pot. Its going to be very very close.

If he had UNC in the title game, he was a fool to put 128 as the tiebreaker.

Congrats on the win.

[rant]I know I've got my blinders on, but I don't understand the hatred that everyone has for Hansbrough. He came in and produced from the first day he stepped one the court. He(along with his teammates) could have left early like so many other players have done, but they all came back to win a championship. How many fans do you hear bitching about how their team got screwed because so and so left early? How much better of a place would OSU be in right now if they had Conley or even Cook? Sure he might not do anything flashy in the NBA next year, but he helped his team do one of the few things many players/teams in college ball have done. Do you think UNC would have been better withouh him? ]

Greatness breeds hatred, always has, always will. When that greatness coincides with a lot of intensity or calls from the officials, it only escalates the hatred. But most of all, it's the amount of times the greatness (and name) is praised and shoved down people's throats.

He's a lot like Tebow in my mind, in style, passion and hype... and 99% of the hatred is not earned by faults of his own.

i'm with you. he doesn't seem to be a punk to me. he plays hard and with a lot of passion. he flops a lot which drives people nuts, and he gets a lot of calls so that may explain some of it.

I would love to see the most overrated college basketball player of my lifetime (Hansbrough) go 0/4 trying for titles

as much as I dislike Sparty I have to root for them in this one


The ACC's all-time leading scorer is the most overrated college player of your time?

Wow.
