You could say the same about Miami. I wish both schools could lose that game.

Other than that, I don't really care who wins the other games. I just want a chaotic, entertaining Final Four. 

not a huge miami fan, either, but their geriatric coach seems OK. I think we sometimes unfairly judge Miami from their “convicts” FB days. I mean, stabby lewis went there, so I get it.

this tournament shows just what a waste of time it is for the “experts” to talk about matchups BEFORE the games. they’re as wrong as the rest of us. they get paid to be wrong, tho…

No number 1 seeds on the elite 8 for the first time since ‘79. Can’t say I’m too shocked especially since the way this season has gone so far. I think the winner of the UConn/Gonzaga game will win the whole thing.

Larry Bird's Indiana State was the #1 Seed(Midwest) in 1979 and made the Final 4 that year. 

Indiana State lost to Michigan State in the Championship game. MSU had some player named "Magic" Johnson.

I did read that this year is the  First time ever that no #1 Seed made the Elite-8.

and the crazy thing was that game was played at the university of utah’s little 15,000 seat arena, just a few miles from me. now, they play it in football stadiums $$$

I don't like that the Final 4 is played at those big Stadiums either. 

But, we  all know they do play them there.

There is no way no one had Florida Atlantic, San Diego State and UConn in the final 4.

No….maybe UCONN but not the others.

Gotta love it...a 4 seed, 2 5 seeds, and a 9 seed in the Final Four. This is probably the most random grouping ever in the Final Four.

How come the NCAA men’s basketball games are in halves while the NCAA women’s and the NBA are in quarters? 🤔

The men's game and women's game have different rules and oversight committees. They don't necessarily have to agree on everything. The basic rules are the same, but there are differences in the more administrative rules if that makes sense. 

To be honest, I prefer the 10 minute quarters over the 20 minute halves. Seems like the game goes faster since it cuts out a couple of tv timeouts. I also like doing away with the 1-and-1 after 7 team fouls.

^^^^I prefer 4 Ten minute quarters too and also like how they reset the foul count after every quarter.

I think Men's College basketball is the only one that doesn't have 4 quarters?

just thought it was pretty weird. I wasn't even aware that the women played in quarters til last night. I had seen a few games here and there but never payed much attention I guess until last night. I thought it was a low scoring game after the clock hit zero at the 1st quarter. Me thinking it was first half though. Score was 25-21 at that point.

how insane would it be if FAU won it all? are the assisted care facilities in boca ready for it? if you googled “significant FAU grads” would it bring back any hits?

CBS “A” team of nantz and squeaky wolfson suck balls.

Wobbie

well, never mind FAU.

go SDSU..win it for the mountain west.

P.S. I gotta say, FAU pissed that one away.

Wobbie

to answer my own question, CARROT TOP attended FAU, woo hoo!

Caitlyn was a monster but that LSU team was just stacked with players.

Such a disappointing end to the WBB season. I wish both LSU and Iowa could have lost that game. And yes, I'm salty about my Gamecocks losing.

I’m glad your gamecocks lost but think they could have beaten LSU……which I would have liked. F a bunch of kim mulkey.

We could have. We beat them by 24 earlier this year.

Probably not gonna watch the final tonight but UConn should win it by at least 10.
