NCAA FINAL FOUR: Championship Game Thread
- Thread starter RUinPinehurst
- Start date
Seriously, wtf. There's no other competition tonight, they can pick whatever time slot they want... And they didn't pick 8 or 8:30?
I guess there's no interest in getting younger East Coast kids interested in their product.

AT THE TIME - we were still in the wake of Mike Rice - I understood the hesitancy to hire another known hot head
but I dont even know what you mean by a buttoned up “rutgers man”
Another example is people saying they'd never want rick pitino here even if it meant winning big.
6:20 on West coast. 7:20 Mountain time. 8:20 Central. 9:20 Eastern. All things considered, that tip off time is a smart compromise.
And... Phoenix follows Mountain standard time, so same as West Coast this time of year, which equates to a tip off at 6:20 pm, their time. ?
Unfortunately it means my son isn't going to be able to watch it (or at least very much of it), after following March Madness up to this point. (and his bracket had UConn v Purdue in the final).
He might well stay and the local connections would be good reasons to. He definitely has it all organized to be successful there. But it is Storrs, Connecticut, and the bright lights and bigger bucks may come calling. Time will tell.
As to cherry picking, I said he's had two great years, but before that, only good, not great. But hey, give him the last two years and he's still under .650.
As to whining, to me it's just a bad look. Never liked coaches who cry on the sidelines. But no argument that he is one of the very best college coaches right now.
Rick pitino and Dan Hurley are not the same thing
Dan Hurley is a bit of a hot head but, unless I’ve missed it, I’ve never heard he was dirty
Whereas Slick Rick ……
Rutgers fans are hardly the only fanbase who wouldn’t want their program run by one of (the?) dirtiest coaches in the game
🍎 🍊
Personally- I certainly wouldn’t mind a coach like Dan Hurley (who acts a bit unhinged at times and IMHO is a bit unlikeable) if we had UConn's success. But I too wouldn’t want Rutgers associated with a slime ball like Rick pitino
Again 🍎 🍊

Guy would get caught piping the shit out of some athletic department chick before he ever “won big” here
Looks like the game's started after 9:10 as far back as 2003. 2002 tipped off at 9:00. Can't find any tipoff times prior to that.
It will be interesting to see if the women’s final has better ratings than the men. In addition to the game starting during the day on a weekend, it was also on ABC rather than TBS.
Seriously, how good is Cam! He has scored and been instrumental on all the other scores for UCONN
Always has been. Have said it for years but people would call me an idiot for simply saying we need to focus more on running a modern offense
That’s what college basketball is these days.
Can’t wait for edey to graduate. He’s so damn dominant
Looks like the plan is to double when Clingan is off the floor, which will open up Purdue for threes
They've been letting Clingan go solo to extend their defense out on the shooters. They're giving up the twos to prevent the threes
Hurley decided he’s gonna double Edey now.
Purdue gonna need someone else to stay up
Purdue gonna need someone else to stay up
Yup. But refs arent blowing the whistle so theyll keep doing it. Every floppy set is a moving screen/borderline looks like an OL pass blocking haha
