Something I think I’ve noticed in seeing more teams since the end of the regular season, is that virtually every team I’ve seen plays much harder, with more energy than IU does.

The difference is pretty substantial and deflating.

That's because slow, lackadaisical play doesn't get far in the tournament. It either gets you missing the tournament or getting blown out early.

Wonder what the opening spread will be for the Title game

Well, maybe not, but still an 8 point game with 2 1/2 left.

Now that should do it lol.

Not a great game for Clingan.

He is having a great game

Quick: Who has eleventy billion dollars and dirt on the UConn admin? They've had their time with Dan Hurley.

These refs have money on this game? No other reason to review this in a 14 point game with 18 seconds left. 

[LamarCheeks]

Why are we reviewing a play in a 14-point game with 18 seconds to play?

U Conn/Purdue final.  If Purdue had to reach the finals, they have to play the team we wanted them to.

Purdue will need some very friendly refs have to have any chance imo.

The line was U Conn by 11.5, so review wouldn't have changed anything.  But a pretty needless review

O/U was 160 and the combined score was 158. Definitely think one of them bet the over and wanted to extend the game.

That's why I always lay some juice and buy a few points either way

Currently, Pom:  U Conn by 3 (75-72).  Might change slightly after they input the game against Alabama.

I'll win my pool if U Conn wins and there are 148 or more points in the final.

That’s how I won my office pool last year. 
After the FF one of my partners running the pool emailed everyone saying the possible pool winners were down to a, b and c and left me out. Uh, picking the winner is big points and none of a,b or c picked UConn. I still rib him about it lol.

Oh, and it’s WHEN Uconn wins…

I hope UCONN puts the beatdown on them, UCONN by 16!

Maybe I'm being too literal but if anyone is actually curious why, I believe it's because these crews are graded on their performance each game by referee associations and want to be careful about doing it by the book especially in a very visible game like the Final Four. 

I'm just a guy on the internet though so what do I know

You're probably right. It's more fun to think they had money on it. It wasn't their best night, that's for sure. I thought they missed some easy calls both ways.
