Yep. Refs doing everything they can to keep Kansas in this.

Lol. Its a conspiracy!!!!

I haven't seen a whole lot of either game but have been reminded how the officials eat their whistles in FF.

Villanova has not shot a FT tonight but went 33/37 against us.

Well when you attempt 36 threes, you’re not going to be going to the free throw line a lot.

I dont want to see sympathy whistles. I want to see how big of a beatdown this can be

If the 3's stop falling, ku can still get back in this.

But at this point that's up to nova.

So it looks like this game isn’t going to be at all interesting down the stretch.

How many threes did Tennessee make in the first half against Ohio State In the ‘07 sweet sixteen? That’s the only thing I’ve ever seen like this.

I think 9 threes in the first half. 16 total.

Another favorable call for Kansas. Not that it will matter, but annoying

Yea, but now 2 FT's? I think I saw 9 fouls called in the first half.

Say what you want about Jay Wright but he’s an excellent floor coach.

Fun fact about Jay Wright: He interviewed for the UT job when Dickey hired Buzz Peterson.

Jim Nantz saying mee mee instead of meme was the best part of the night.

Let’s not bring it up :/

I remember his name was out there, but an article from a couple of years ago said Dickey never got a formal interview with Wright. Villanova came open at the same time, and Wright is from Philly.

Yep. Boggles my mind why so many UT fans think Dickey was a good AD. Clearly football-only fans.

And if I’m not mistaken Dickey hired Wade Houston over Rick Majerus.

 

[golfballs]

and if i’m not mistaken dickey hired wade houston over rick majerus.

Gregg Marshall and Leonard Hamilton were also passed over by UT's AD for other candidates.

Nova by 16

 

[BreatheUT]

Which team had players respecting the flag more? That's who I'm going for.

I'm actually pretty pumped for this game. I like Villanova and Wright a ton. I also like seeing Charles Matthews being successful under another guy I like in Bielein. I was really hoping for this instead of KU vs Loyola.

Each game is different and you don't get this far without being good but Michigan looked more limited offensively than Nova. Both defenses are good.

Nova makes most college teams look like a YMCA squad. They shoot the ball and every single player has multiple skills. Wright is an awesome coach. Michigan got here in part because of a decent draw combined with some well-timed shooting streaks.

Pretty good start for Michigan.
