2011 ncaa

well i really hope that uconn isn't playing any ineligible players

brad stevens should ditch butler btw

he can come coach ct if calhoun retires

Props to NCAA guy for saying "It was a great game tonight" with a straight face.

man i never liked him but i'm thinking calhoun might be my kind of motherfucker

"Hey, so sorry your loved ones died, but you DID win a championship, so it's probably even, right?"

brad stevens should ditch butler btw

WHAT IS ONE SHINING MOMENT FOR CHRISTS SAKES

I am glad March Madness is over so I can stop watching CBS and those stupid fucking "A Tradition Unlike Any Other" Masters commercials....

ive srsly never watched one shining moment before now

one shining moment sounds like a robin sparkles song

I like this year's montage, although they probably should have had a rapid-fire sequence during the title game section of bricked shots, just for sake of accuracy.

xp Whaaaaa? One Shining Moment is awesome

maybe ive seen parts of it before? idk i never understood it, if you watch enough sportscenter you see all the highlights & it doesnt really improve them to put them in slomo w/ a michael mcdonald song

Haven't read the ^^ ilh liveblog of the game.

Watched about 70% of it, with the sound off. I think UConn got more rebounds than points in this game. Pretty wtf low shooting % all around.

I give UConn credit for good defense. Most of Butler's shots were rushed, with poor setup and poor form as a result, and that's why they missed a lot of them. But cripes, Butler was even missing their free throws, and you can't say UConn did that.

Quality of this championship game is reminder how young these guys are. Also an obvious byproduct of the nba snatching every promising underclassman for the past decade.

reminds me a bit of 04 -- 1st game vs duke was tense as hell & good bball, title game vs. ga tech was p bad

calhoun immediately credits/defends the big east in his press conf

has there ever been an ncaa champion that did not have a winning record in its own conference? (nc state was 8-6 in the acc in '83, wiki says villanova was 11-8 in the big east in '85)

ugh

In a season that was full of surprises, this one turned out to be a dog.

It was the Huskies who came away with the ribbon.

I am glad March Madness is over so I can stop watching CBS and those stupid fucking "A Tradition Unlike Any Other" Masters commercials....

this is for the masters fwiw, yuo have 1 more eewk

fuck yakkll fwiw

no it stops now bc March Madness is the only time I'll watch CBS live

^ OTM

Anyway, one of the best tournaments of my lifetime ends not with a bang but with a whimper. What a crappy game.

I ask again, how much money does Jim Calhoun earn this year because of Kemba Walker? Is his contract public?

y it's public

someone just told me 1m bonus for winning, but not sure abt that

http://www.uconnhuskies.com/auto_pdf/p_hotos/s_chools/conn/sports/m-baskbl/auto_pdf/CalhounContract

1 months annual salary for participating in ncaa tourney
2 months annual salary for final 4
3 months annual salary for winning ncaa

The only people capable of enjoying that ugly train wreck of a game were UConn coach, players and fans. So, enjoy!

Glad UConn was able to win a title before their three-year probation goes into effect! Good timing.

Thanks for posting, johnny. So, $175,000 bonus for winning )based on his salary, not speaking/appearances). Nothing in there about the Big East tournament that I saw.

wtf guy

in a USA Today online report Tuesday, Northern Arizona coach Mike Adras told the newspaper he gave his No. 1 vote to the Buckeyes.

Adras said he also put Kansas No. 2 before voting for UConn third on his ballot.

"I voted for who I thought was the best team in the country based on the entire body of work during the season," Adras told USA Today. "I believe it is Ohio State. I want to congratulate Connecticut for winning the NCAA tournament. They deserved it."

lol, why do they even do a postseason ranking? so pointless and dumb.

cmon espn, really
