I want to hate Miami so bad but I just really like Coach Larranaga.  He seems like a genuine guy and someone that I'd want my kid to play for.  I know they are the best team money can buy, but he's just the guy coaching them up.  

It's just the FSU fan in me.  Doesn't matter the sport, I just can't bear to really pull for Miami.  I do hope they beat UConn, but I will be wildly for whoever wins that first semifinal if they do.

What is meant by best team money can buy?

Final Four Refs.

 

Anyone know of Bert Smith from NKY area. If you remember he was the Ref who Collapsed in 2021 in the Elite 8.

Trust me, Louisville fans asked about that exact thing. Apparently, the NCAA made up another stupid rule basically saying that anything that happened before 1990 (I think that is the year, but don’t quote me) didn’t have to be removed. So that’s why WKU’s banners are “allowed.”

The NCAA is so stupid.

That's probably an unfair dig at the NIL situation going on there.  Deep pockets can certainly help when recruiting.

All this running and fast paced basketball is very confusing for this UK fan. Also what with these teams running there defender off a screen and all the quick passes around the perimeter? I don’t think I can watch this garbage much longer, no way 3s go in that easy.

SDSU with a technical and then a foul on a three. FAU made all 5 FTs

[Voice of Reason]

Thanks!

I have it on the radio now so I am good the rest of the way.

FAU is letting this game slip away because they cannot keep SDSU off the boards.
