UCLA put forth a terrible effort and deserved to lose by a million.

 

Agreed, what a joke.

You've went to three straight final fours, this was bound to happen. I imagine next year will be a much better one for UCLA.

 

That'll hinge on Jrue returning for his sophomore year and how the young posts develop.

Jrue should come back if only to have a year as the featured guard, imo.

 

Agreed. He plays so much better at the point. I'd love to see Jrue and Malcolm Lee starting in the backcourt as sophomores.

Haha, I love how they honored the 1971 Villanova team at halftime on a "neutral" court.

 

Dragovic and Shipp have clearly quit.

 

Hey you know being a #1 seed earns you that home court edge.........wait Nova is a 3 seed? Nevermind. lol

 

I really don't care for the increased regionalization they put into the brackets the last few years. It is pretty sad when even a #8 seed gets to play close to home (Ohio State)...I think that privilege should be reserved for the top 4 teams.

 

Yeah but you have to accept it going in. The NCAA is trying to cut travel costs, so there are going to be scenarios where a #3 seed plays in their home city, etc. It sucks but its going to happen. Not the same becuase they were a 1 seed but last year UCLA got to open up in Anaheim, and the year before as a 2 seed they opened up in Sacramento. Now they have to play Nova in Philly.

 

Sacramento is 400 miles from LA. That's as close as Baltimore is to Boston.

 

Yeah, I know. I wasn't going to post it until I remembered they started in Anaheim last year.

Great, Purdue is hitting everything they toss up again, and UW isn't bothering to try and get rebounds when they do miss.

I'd be so annoyed if I was a Sooner fan. Griffin gets clobbered on nearly every play, but fouls only get called in like a 1/3 of those plays.

You spoke too soon. He's getting plenty of foul calls now.

Pac-10 isn't acquitting itself too well this round. With my luck, Arizona and USC will be the teams that advance from the Pac.
