Sorry Dan! I've not been able to watch but checked the score every little bit. Definitely different halves.

[MacLaren]

Congratulations on a very fine season Dan.
Your Fighting Illini went further than either Kentucky or North Carolina.
Yall have an excellent coach and their future is bright.

[MacLaren]

Well fellas, it's gonna be interesting to see how that Tennessee - Purdue game plays out tomorrow
And then NC State & Duke

[MacLaren]

Gotta say fellas, i don't think I've ever witnessed a more incredible run to the Final Four than what NC State has done.
Bear in mind, NC State coming in to the ACC Tourney had lost 7 of their last 9 games and had to win the ACC Tourney just to be get into the Tourney
And winning the ACC Tourney would require winning 5 games straight & wins over both Duke & North Carolina ....that in itself is quite the feat!
Very few teams have beaten both Duke & North Carolina in the same week much less on consecutive nights!
And then they make a run to the Final Four again beating Duke!
Gotta give credit where credit is due.
NC State had had the dangdest run I've ever seen.
And I think they have a helluva chance to beat Purdue in the Final Four

NC State have been playing with a lot of grit and when one player is off another picks it up . I like their defense too , and only five turnovers yesterday was mind boggling . Final 4 will be great this as a Big Ten guy has to root for Purdue but my heart is with NC State . I would like to see Alabama pull it off too . Dan

[MacLaren]

I too would love to see Alabama defeat UConn
But, I really think UConn will as the young kids say, boat race Bama
That NC State Purdue game may be one for the ages...

[MacLaren]

Well fellas, the Final Four is this evening.
I'll be pullin for the Wolf Pack.
But, I think UConn will boat race everyone.

[MacLaren]

The Pudue Boilermakers have a great team
No doubt about it.
Got me thinking ain't nobody gonna boat race Purdue lol

[Manixguy@1994]

Ugly unusual Win for Purdue. They commit the amount of turnovers in championship game and they can kiss it good bye . Classic Purdue how when defense drops to cover Edey if guards and forwards get hot with three pointers it’s game over . Will see if Alabama will rise to the occasion. I predicted to wife there could possibly be at least one upset tonight . Of course she told me that was crazy ! Dan

[MacLaren]

Man, UConn handled business tonight
Could be a great championship game
I agree about Purdue - UConn will destroy them if they turn the ball over a lot

[MacLaren]

Dang, I was so hopin Clark & Iowa would beat South Carolina

[Manixguy@1994]

Southe Carolina was a complete team of great players while Iowa had Clark with good players . Sure I’m going to root for a Big Ten team but South Carolina just had so many weapons on both ends and once they took lead I knew Iowa was in big trouble . Don’t be surprised if South Carolina goes deep again next year , a lot of young talent . Dan

[MacLaren]

Yup, you nailed it, Dan
And I wouldn't be suprised if SC wins it all again next season as well.
As for tomorrow night, I'll be pullin hard for Purdue!
I would really like to see Purdue win it.

Never thought I'd say it but kentucky will have a new coach this year! Definitely wouldn't have thought he'd go to Arkansas and we'll get to play against him multiple times a year.

I saw that yesterday and was floored ! I wasn’t surprised he was moving on but in same conference seemed odd . Must be a money thing ? Arkansas didn’t get him cheap . Dan

That's very interesting that he's staying in the SEC!
Albeit, the West but, as you say Larry, in basketball yall will still face him multiple times
Alls I can say is that Blue Moon of Kentucky will shine on now!!
I see more National Titles headed your way, Larry

I think it may be a blessing for KU and a fresh start . Obviously they are not going to pick up a newbie . I expect they may sign someone with a good rep and can navigate the Portal and NIL . I would be excited too ! Dan

I do too. I really like Alabama's coach Nate Oats and Gonzaga's Mark Few.
