    Who do you have winning? I have L’ville in my bracket winning it all and but with the star power of Trey Burke I can see Michigan taking it.

    My predicted Final Score: Da Ville 73 Michigan 69

    Michigan. I think they are just playing at a little higher level on the offensive end right now. They just need to keep avoiding TOs and keep Louisville from getting it down low too often

    I’ll take the Wolverines, I wonder what kind of performance McGary will conjure up and the pressure he’ll receive from an elite defensive team. Burke will probably have to don the cape once again because I can see the two sons being locked out of the game.

    I dont care what anyone says, THIS IS NOT LUCK! That kid can play and really has talent. Its shocking, maybe. But definitely not luck. He is strong with the ball absorbing bumps, an excellent shooter, crafty dribbler, with above average handles and a high IQ. Michigan looks like they have their starting PG next year!

    Bold Prediction: SPIKE WILL PLAY PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL!

    Genuinely hate having to watch this game in the UK, Dick Vitale is commentating on ESPN international broadcasts and he is screaming Albrecht at the top of his voice every minute, so I’ve had to mute the noise so I don’t wake up everyone else in my house.

        Much rather be in the States now, I decided to turn the sound back on because I need commentary to enjoy the game and Vitale is screaming Hancock repeatedly at the top of his voice, so now if anyone in my house wakes up they will hear what sounds like “hand c**k” being shouted by an old man very loudly and enthusiastically.

        I don’t mind Dickie V but at times I do wish he would lower his voice because even on the lowest sound of my TV he is ridiculously loud.

    That play by Tim Hardaway jr. where he took it full court and scooped it, single-handedly just moved him a couple spots up in my mock..
    .
    That bank shot by Mcgary showed nice signs. I thought it was gonna be way off before I realized he was going glass.
    His turnaround jumper from 13 feet also had a nice form, even though he missed.

    Spike Albrecht actually has pretty sweet handles. He is probably handling UL’s ball pressure better than Burke would. Just one TO from what I saw, when Michigan’s spacing broke down a little.

    This should be a good second half, though I think Michigan is the team more likely to continue its hot shooting.

    I’m confused..

    Every time Peyton Siva does something he looks like he’s a sure-fire pro.. except for the end result (usually). His jumper looks pretty good, but he isn’t a very good shooter. He’s fast as all-get-out and gets to the rim, but he isn’t the best finisher. He can find his teammates pretty well, but not consistently.

    I’m really liking McGary. Not going crazy and saying he is a future all star or anything, but he moves well at his size, doesn’t hesitate on open jumpers and has a good looking shot, moves feet well. My only concern is that his stock goes up so much that he gets stuck on a bad team if he comes out this year. I think he may be one of those guys that are really useful on a good team, but not so much on a bad one in the NBA.

    Oh well, just happy to see a competitive college game with nice pacing.

    I like Louisville going to Behanon. They really should exploit his strength advantage in the post whenever he isn’t defended by McGary. Michigan still shooting really well, despite the uncalled fouls.

    Behanan tried to back down Mcgary, he got bounced back like two feet.
    He got the bucket with a weird floater, but he looked like a rag doll for a second there.

    This lose came down to them not being able to rebound and their interior defense. They were getting killed on the boards in the 2nd half and not to mention peyton Silva was getting to the basket with little to know trouble. I’ll say this though, I like Trey Burke he’s gonna be a stud and peyton Silva should get some looks at the next level he’s much better then he gets credit for.

    It was a great game I enjoyed it.

    Michigan really blew they outplayed Louisville so much…Beilien killed them. Didn’t need to sit Burke the last 11 minutes of the first, and didn’t need to sit McGary so long in the 2nd.

    NCAA GET SOME NEW REFS FOR NEXT YEAR’S TOURNAMENT, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

    Also will be nice to see some more NBA talent in next year’s final four hopefully.

    Really happy for Louisville and I wanted them to win it because they’re part of the ACC now.

    But I can’t help to shake this feeling that the NCAA was never going to let the Ville lose after the Ware injury. Think about how much bank they made off of it…I bet TV ratings spiked even though the NCAA Tournament is one of the most watched programs in the whole world. Plus all the merchandise for Ware?

    The NCAA knew they if they capped this Cinderella story with a Ville natty they’d squeeze every last cent out of it.

    But oh well that was my conspiracy theory for the day aaaaaaand now I already miss college basketball ;(
