NCAA National Championship Thread...

Virginia’s not part of that mafia.

I don’t care. I can’t root for the ACC. It’s not part of our heritage. UVA is like the Pitt of the ACC. All clutching and grabbing but with much better shooting.

 

[Delmar]

This is the first time I picked the champion in my bracket in 16 years.

 

[Orangefan1]

Lol. Yeah I’d take them.

I’m talking about the NBA...neither of them are good enough in my opinion

 

[Day2]

Nah, it was a helluva basketball game until the refs decided to be part of the story. Same thing on Saturday.

Cool story, bro.

People said the same thing about JJ Redick yet he’s still in the association 13 years later.

 

[NateW]

Hunter is better thank Culver. He’s a clone of Kawhi.

Hunter will be a great pro

 

[upperdeck]

TT once they took the lead in OT went back to how they started the game, and took about 10 bad shots in a row and it was over..

 

[upperdeck]

Hunter tonight was a pro.. hunter the last 5 games was oshea

 

[JeremyCuse]

Hunters gone for sure, hes a top 15 pick

So, what?... you want to play in the Pac 12, where no one wins anything anymore and everyone thinks the conference is a joke?

 

[samspann1]

That horse-bleep tripping foul changed the whole game

Funny that we couldn't get even a single replay of that call...

 

[NateW]

I think they need a smaller stage

Where did I say that? But if SU is out, I’m not rooting for the ACC. We will never be part of that top tier. The best we can ever hope to finish is third. Probably forth because the UVA machine will be in full effect now in the years to come. You’re delusional if you think that UVA winning doesn’t directly negatively affect Syracuse.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

That’s not replay. That’s some convoluted frame scrubbing nonsense. You can’t say that one call has to be conclusive to overturn it, so you don’t overturn it, and then the next time you use replay, a call that is the very definition of inconclusive is overturned.

If you’re not going to be consistent, the whole system becomes a joke, which it is.

Yeah, i still don't get it. Frame scrubbing? That's just precision in video. Evidence. Going slower doesn't falsify the imagery.

Out by a fingernail is still out, isn't it?

As for fouls—there's just a practical point at which you have to discern what can be examined. A possession call is not a subjective matter. A foul call is. Get right what you can get right, even if it means you can't get everything right.

With the stoppages and reviews, right now, i don't feel as if i've lost anything, excitement-wise.

 

[longislandcuse]

He impressed the hell out of me tonight. Agree with the poster earlier that called him a Kawhi clone. Obviously not saying he’ll be that good, but he sure looks the part.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

I'm a big believer in instant replay.

But the word instant matters.

When you have to take more than 45 seconds to figure it out, probably just go with how it was called in the competition.

 

[ForCuseSake]

Hunter will be a great pro

He was unstoppable in the second half & OT.

 

[ForCuseSake]

How can you not like Tony Bennett after that post game interview?

 

[Zelda Zonk]

I don’t care. I can’t root for the ACC. It’s not part of our heritage. UVA is like the Pitt of the ACC. All clutching and grabbing but with much better shooting.

How many years before we're a part of the ACC, heritage-wise? Never? Not in our lifetimes?
I might feel the same way, if the Big East were still the Big East. But, it's not. There's no 'home' left to regret leaving.

I mean, that’s essentially what you’re saying.

Clemson coming to Syracuse could be Gameday, because their National Champions.

Virginia/Syracuse to open the season will be hype af, because their National Champions.

The conference is pushing the B1G for 2nd place in the pecking order behind the SEC.

That’s better for us...if WE up our game. I’d rather handle our own ish, and capitalize, than root for others around us to fail.

 

[NateW]

He was unstoppable in the second half & OT.

Same for the second half on Saturday when the team really needed him.

They’ll nuture his alpha-ness in the pros.

It doesn't make sense to me that they can frame by frame it under 2 minutes and not at any other point in the game. How many other instances are there that don't get replayed? At least with the NFL the coach can challenge.

Way to completely ignore my point. You can’t be inconsistent with replay if you’re going to use it. On the out of bounds call in the last minute where Tech retained possession, it looked too close to overturn, so they didn’t overturn it. But then on the call in OT they overturned, that replay was arguably even less conclusive in terms of indisputable evidence to overturn. But they overturned it anyway.

That’s the joke. The inconsistency is the joke.

 

[Melancer46]

Hunters gone for sure, hes a top 15 pick

Fringe top 5 pick. Jerome probably top 20-25 too if I had to guess and I think he’ll outplay his draft slot.

No clue if Guy will declare but goodness can he shoot the ball.

 

[Delmar]

CBS is indescribably bad through the very end.
