Hey Dan, Hope you don't mind if I add one.

My son is a grad assistant baseball coach at Lincoln Memorial University! :thumb:

They play for the D2 National Basketball Championship at 2 p.m. central on CBS! Been to see many of their basketball games while visiting over the last three years. Unfortunately, my son will be coaching first base while this is happening as they have a home doubleheader. Baseball team is DVR'ing it and going to watch it in the clubhouse after their doubleheader.

Go Railsplitters!

Representing today with all LMU apparel!

Great team and great bunch of kids. One more!

As much as it pains me to say I'd rather see Kansas win. They don't have anybody we were in on recruiting on their roster.

Took a neutral stance on the Kansas-Villanova game. Refs Kansas biased. Announcers definitely Kansas biased. And I'm sorry, Raftery is so annoying.

Not sure which team is better to see lose, Kansas or Duke. Both are a thing of beauty!

Last 4 times Self has been a #1 seed, he's failed to make the Final 4.

Gonna go to Phog now and enjoy the meltdown over there.[emoji3]

The Phog is blaming the refs. Give me a break. Kansas players bowling over Nova players and the Kansas fans think that's ok.

Kansas fans always blame the refs or Self when they lose. They never lose actually, they either get screwed or out-coached. They're worse than Kentucky fans in that regard.

It was a hard fought game. The refs did not decide the game, there were a few calls that could have gone either way, they did not favor Kansas but neither did they favor Villanova.

Keys to the game:

1) Wright/Villanova took Perry Ellis totally out of the game
2) Establishing Ochefu early on inside affected flow
3) Arcidiacono's experience and IQ during the whole game

Kansas was a very good team all year, but they have limited depth. Villanova was simply better tonight. Without Graham's threes, it would not have been close.

From the Phog board. This guy's so sick he might give up on college basketball... Because his team lost in the elite 8. :eek:

I feel so sick.

I love our guys, and I'll never stop supporting KU, but I just don't know if I can get very excited for college basketball anymore. Money rules the day. Play on the court is secondary to whoever's lining the refs' pockets.

This was a serious eye opener for me. Disillusionment doesn't even do this feeling justice.

Kansas offense was miserable down the stretch they looked tired and disorganized, with some hero ball. I thought Villanoava did get maybe 3-4 critical calls that could have gone either way in the last 7 minutes, so i can see being pissed.
