Did anyone else see the Louisville player who snapped his leg in half at the calf? It made me cringe. Very heartbreaking.


No, but it sounds awful. Hate to see any of these kids have something like that happen to them. I lost all my hoops appetite earlier in the day watching Florida's shooting woes at Jerry World continue against a Michigan team that had found its stroke late against Kansas and never lost it. It would be a bad sign for the Gators that JerryWorld has the Final Four next season, except that of course you've got to get past the Elite 8 to get there and, well, that hasn't gone over so well recently.

I really hope and pray that Ware has a speedy recovery. Dr. Oz did says that it's possible that he could play anywhere between 6 months to a year from now. Not sure if it'll happen, as Pitino said he'll be out for a year. He's walked on crutches today, so maybe there's a chance.

Tough injury, but it is making the guy famous since it was such a unique way of getting hurt.

I really like the way Michigan is playing right now, I like them to beat the Orange this Saturday.

They are going to have to show how they can outshoot syracuse.

I want Michigan to win their game as well. They're gonna have to beat that 2-3 zone with jumpers and kickout threes. Burke and Hardaway Jr. need to come up big.

3-2 zone*

'Cuse run 3-2. It'll be hard for TB to get going to MCW on him... 6'6 PG. But if they can drive, and get Nik Stauskas hot in the corner again, NATIONAL CHAMPIONS BABY.

I'm form Michigan, and a true U of M fan.
I wanna see all the MSU fans hate if they make it to the championship game, and win it;)

Syracuse runs a 2-3. And either way MCW wont be guarding Burke most of the night.

National title game tonight!! Go Michigan beat Louisville!!! Their team is not perfect, but their playing style is a blast to watch. I think Louisville is the much deeper team though, but if Michigan can put together an amazing offensive game I could see them coming away with the title.

Such an exciting final! Hopefully the refs don't decide it.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

This was a bracket I did for fun. I called it my chalk bracket because I picked every team that was the higher seed to win. I got the champion right when I picked Louisville but I just about crapped myself when I saw the game score compared to my predicted tie-breaker score.

Congrats to Louisville, and what a hard-fought game by Michigan. Albrecht leading the charge, before Hancock comes on to hit 4 straights threes, and then the battle to the end.

Such an exciting final! Hopefully the refs don't decide it.


Some questionable calls that I remember are:
- Gorgui Dieng's block at the beginning (should've been goaltending)
- Foul on Harell (should've been on Hancock, and would've been his 4th)
- Trey Burke foul on Peyton Siva (it was a clean block)

Still an amazing game. I miss March Madness already.
