1.) Chris Beard is gonna build TTU into a consistent national power. He’s not leaving Lubbock. 

2.) Tom Izzo losing again in the Final Four is incredibly satisfying.

MSU couldn’t get to the paint quick enough for help side defense on Texas Tech’s drives in the second half. On offense they couldn’t take advantage of their bulk with TT’s swarming defense. I still don’t think the Big Ten wins a natty again until we get away from bully ball bigs. It’s just not how today’s game is played.

NBA will come calling and he will jump to the pros.

I’ve never been more excited for a title game. (I was barely aware of what was going on in ‘02)

I did not really watch TT prior to the tourney. Their defense and intensity is great to watch.

What a start for Beard. 2nd year at Texas Tech he takes them to the Elite 8. Third year they go the the Final Game....At Texas Tech!  The oilmen better load up the $$ truck.

TT is the most fun defensive team to watch that I can remember. But would have rather watched Auburn attack what they do than UVA. Still really looking forward to Monday.

Glad to see izzo lose but boy the big ten struggles to win the title. Last one was 2000 I think and only that one since 1989.

The teams I rooted for won! Yeah-rah.

Enjoyable watch for me. I called the double dribble in real time and shocked the zebras missed it.

I think Texas Tech pulls it out over Virginia. Should be a fun one.

That was the matchup I wanted.

Texas Tech reminds me a lot of the Nova team last year. Every player has an extremely vital job. They played with fire tonight and they've got the pieces to beat UVA by 20. Coach Beard is Brad Stevens 2.0 but I think and hope he stays at the college level. But he does coach a very NBA elusive type defense.

2 of my favorite coaches in the game today. I’ve always respected the way Bennett handles himself and runs a program and has been a joy watching his teams play for the last 6 years. I don’t think their is a nicer guy in the game. I’m just getting to learn about Beard more after these last 2 year runs. He is very down to earth and real. Definitely loves and lives the game. On top of that he is a great in game coach. Read his story on how after he got fired at Texas Tech he became a head coach in the ABA. Just a great story. Watch Andy Katz and him do Fireside chat I will post it if I can find it just really good stuff.

Same year Bobby left. Hmm.. 

[theriverpilot]

No OADs, defensive minded play, team ball, upperclassmen. Huge reasons why both of these teams will be playing Monday night

Maybe after his daughters are grown and out of Lubbock. He’s not gonna leave his kids for any other job.

This is going to be a good championship game. It’s not Michigan State, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, Purdue or Duke that’s going to win a championship. I’m happy

I could care less if the B1G wins any ships. IU is the only conference team I want to win a championship.
