"Maybe Rick will take his family to his favorite restaurant to celebrate."
He'll go inside it for 15 seconds, and leave.

They need a drive-through window.

I'm sure he is happy he survived the confetti canons at the very end...
All kidding aside, what a fantastic game that was.

Looks like the 2 teams that deserved to be there, were there.

The better team won. Burke tried to win it himself, going 1 on 5 many times late in the game, but that wasn't going to work against that defense.

As for the women's final, UConn had better not be overconfident going in. Louisville has given them some trouble recently, and this could be a lot closer game than people think. Louisville will have to make 50% or more of their 3's again, to have a chance.

I was disappointed that Robinson(4 shots?) and Hardaway (0-4 from 3) performed.
McGary got abused inside, when he was actually in the game.
McGary is as NBA ready as I am!
Looking at it as someone who was rooting for Michigan, I don't think they played that great
of a game down the stretch.
They also missed 7 free throws, including a couple of one and ones.
They could not get a rebound when it mattered. Only 8 offensive rebounds, and most of
those were in the first half.
UConn women will steamroll Louisville. Too many weapons.
Geno is one of the greatest coaches ever.
This will be number 8.

On a day Margaret Thatcher and Annette Funcicello died ... Rick Pitino wins another title.

Much of this tourney was hard to watch. The art of pure shooting is dying. Makes me appreciate our time with Jimmy Baron even more.
And when teams get to the Elite 8 and score 39 points, it's embarrassing. The Fab Five would have beaten this Michigan team by 20.

[rambone 78]

Actually, weren't both teams over 50% shooting, until late in the game?

When's the last time the national final saw that kind of accuracy?

Could you imagine, if we had Jimmy Jr. on next year's team? OMG!

I thought in the end Louisville just had too much. they could withstand a bad game from russ Smith as Siva, Hancock , Behanon and Dieng all picked up the slack

Pitino totally outcoached Beiline which was a given anyway
