NCAA 2010 Basketball Thread

I heard on the radio that KU's Thomas Robinson had his grandfather die a few months ago, then his grandmother died three weeks ago, then his mother died last night. What a sad story.

And Texas ends KU's 69 game home winning streak. KU's radio guys are absolutely unbearable homers. It was kind of fun to listen to them melt down as Texas put it to them.

Was a great game. They really tried hard to tank that game.

I thought it was a case of Creighton really playing well moreso than MSU tanking. The Bears had like 6 turnovers the entire game, shot like 90% from the free throw line, and had a decent shooting and rebounding night. Creighton just seemed to have a solid game plan that attacked the Bears weaknesses very well.

Of course, I was at the game, and was losing my mind in the last six minutes, so maybe I didn't have a great perspective. Seemed to me more like a championship caliber team doing what it takes to win a title.

ESPN replayed the ending on their Crunch Time segment this morning as the best of the weekend. Pretty cool to see a packed gym in HD, on national television, with a victory at the end.

I was amazed at how great the turnout for the game was. I wonder how much of it had to do with it being on ESPN and how much is general excitement for the team. Not very often you see 10K plus there. I'm sure a lot of students being snowed in town instead of traveling home or whatever helped some too.
