Was pretty obvious to me who the refs wanted to win the game. Hell 7 of the 10 refs selected for the Final Four are Big East refs. Just very lopsided calls in the UK/UConn game.

10 tough wins in a row for UConn. Talk about battle tested, jesus. I'd be very surprised if Butler beats them... Unless Oriaki gets into foul trouble, they are in for a tough interior battle.
Butler wins just as I predicted they would: by dominating the glass (+16) and not fouling VCU (only 13 trips to the line vs 20+ when they win). Amazing season for VCU, they should be proud to be the best Cinderella to ever make the F4.
Or maybe it was just negative karma from Cal being a giant scumbag.
No mention of Calhoun being a cheating scumbag? Surprising...
Calhoun is a cheating scumbag too. Happy? Does that somehow justify Calipari? Delusional Kentucky fans FTW. Sell your soul just to be relevant in college bball again.
Just keep hating, UK isn't going anywhere.
You're right about that. Doesn't seem like anything can stop Cal and WWW from bringing in the top talent year after year. Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be worth much more than a Final Four run (and a fair chance that such a run is vacated).
Again, I don't understand your attempts to excuse Calipari's sleaziness with references to Calhoun. "Our coach doesn't cheat as much as their coach!"
Any other coaches had an entire season vacated at one school and an NCAA tourney run vacated at another school? Maybe it's just bad luck...like how his players can't shoot FTs.
Except home until next season.
Well on the women's side those were some pretty big Final Four upsets. UConn losing is always a shock, but go Irish!
I was pleasantly surprised to see the UConn women lose at the hands of Notre Dame. I really don't like Geno. Too bad I didn't get tickets to the game, as I would've loved to have seen his face.
Let's hope Butler makes it 0-2 for UConn tonight.
I'm not excusing anything, just pointing out that you like to call Calipari a scumbag when the winning coach of the game last night was just recently named in a violation report, yet you say nothing about him.
Camby is the one who accepted money from agents, not Calipari. Rose is the one who cheated on his SAT, not Calipari. Now why exactly do you hate Calipari? Is it because he's been successful as a college coach and your favorite local sports team either sucks or has been beating by Calipari many times? Maybe you're a Memphis fan and are still pissed.
I also like how you dismiss a Final Four run as if it's nothing to be proud of. I'll take a Final Four run every year, thank you very much.
So tell me exactly why you think Calipari is a scumbag, and provide facts. Otherwise, you're just another bandwagon hater that I feel sorry for.
Getting rid of scholarship players so his highly paid, i mean touted, freshman players can come through is a good start. There's not a convenient paper trail of his cheating, but you can't be stupid enough to think that 2 FF's being vacated at 2 different schools is coincidence. The common link is Calipari. Again, I understand that you're so desperate to have UK basketball relevant again that you're willing to put on the blinders to ignore his slimy ways. Was Gillespie that bad?
And to address the hating/envious of Cal assertions...who is jealous of a coach with no national titles?
You can't be stupid enough to think that Calipari has his hands in so many things. You think Cal told agents to give Camby some money when it wouldn't have benefited Cal at all? From what I can tell, this was agents trying to lure Camby during the season so he'd sign with them. Do you think Calipari talked to Rose's friend and asked him to take the SAT for Rose?
You may not be jealous of Cal, but you sure fooled me. You seem to care about him quite a bit to continue this conversation, otherwise you'd just shrug your shoulders and go on with your life. But he kept your Tarheels out of the FF and your Arkansas team hasn't achieved like you would've hoped with a former UK player as the coach, so you obviously hate UK. Which means you care how we fare, which all UK fans appreciate.
I care how UK fares to the extent that I follow sports in general...and am thankful to be appreciated by someone. But UK has a long way to go before it reaches Alabama/Auburn/Dook/LSU/Texas disgust levels in my book though. Cal is doing his best to move them up with their recruiting classes and play on the court though.
