i'd rather lose trying to win our 4th championship than sit at home and try to talk myself into the Groce hire.

Jesus Calipari with the pull back the reigns line again. What a douche.

just ran the numbers and this loss moves the illini job ahead of the ku job.

oops, anthony davis (he is good) is from chicago (which is in the same state as illinois), ergo illinois moves up another spot. now ahead of duke.

Yeah, very disappointing overall.

Its weird not being down in Lexington for this one. They played great as a team, despite having anywhere from 4-6 1st rounders. KU couldn't overcome the talent difference.

 

UK will need to cont the annual roster overhaul. With Davis doing as well as he did, that should open the door for Noel and despite the troubles Shabazz as well.

 

We'll see if UK gets caught, too.

 

Disappointed by the behavior down in Lexington, the 3 title game appear nothing to this extreme really occured.

 

Officiating was brutal on both sides.

Does that mean we can get Bill Self in 4 years?

Next year's final four will be in Lithuania.

 

The NCAA would have you dismiss all Dumb Jock stereotypes, but the ribbon board tonight announced a far more important notice: next year's Final Four will take place in "Alanta."

 

Where is Alanta, you might ask? It's a small town in Lithuania due north of the capital Vilnius. It's not unprecedented, really—sure, the NCAA Tournament's always been held inside the United States, but clearly the suits were impressed with the basketball fanaticism displayed when Lithuania hosted the Eurobasket championships last year. We don't know yet where the games will be held, as Alanta only has about 500 residents. They have a year to sort that out. Most excited about the shift in venue? The seven (by my count) Lithuanian-born players currently in Division I. (Bad timing for Gilvydas Biruta, the best of them, who's transferring from Rutgers and thus won't be eligible to play—like Rutgers was going to make the Final Four anyway, ever.)

[abuck1220]

it is truly a great day for illini fans to look down their noses at national runner-up kansas.

I seen this posted 20 minutes ago and still can't make sense of it
