Butler / UConn Updates

[Original Rookie]

I've never seen anything like this. A lot of these shots are wide open.

[Randy Parker]

Seton Hall vs. Michigan comes to mind as maybe as bad.

This game is over. UK would have done the same thing to Butler. The winner of UConn-UK was going to be the champs.

Butler has to be turning in the worst finals' performance in history??

Agreed. Quality is awful, but the fact that they're both here reveals the parity.

 

I would go beyond even 25 years though.

 

I don't buy into parity...if you take Kobe, Lebron, Durant, Wade, Rose ect...out of the NBA, there would be more parity...it would also make it awful...Just like this.

At least that game was 80-79 in OT. They've just now passed the lowest total combined output in a Final game. These teams would have to combine for 46 points to get past the lowest of the shot clock era (just last year).

Game over.

I'm not applauding the parity, just acknowledging that it's as evident as ever in the NCAA right now.

Definitely agree. Just thinking of two teams playing for a title that are less appealing as these two.

I think it is a bit over hyped. Certainly the Final Four was very crazy this year but go back and look at past NCAA tournaments, there has always been parity.

The college hoops version of that New England 3-0 win in the snow, only they can't blame the weather??

This game makes me sick. UCONN is some lucky people. Two teams miss open shots and free throws and they win. Lady luck is shining on UCONN. This team is not the best in the USA.

Well look at them finally hit a shot or two.

It always takes a measure of luck to win a title. Don't hate.

No #1 or #2 seeds in the Final Four speaks for itself IMO.
