I suspect that many of us, myself included, are voting for Wisconsin because of the Ryan-Phillips connection. This may be the first time I've ever rooted for a B1G team to win a national championship.

We agree on this. I personally don't care if the people on West Coast have to watch it on the way home from work! ;-)

Duke guards getting into the lane might be second half key.

when teams are playing defense with their feet and not reaching, grabbing or steering the opposition with their bodies it is truly amazing how entertaining and whistle free the game is....


never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The way the refs call the game has me preferring the game of football. Just push it into the lane through or over a defender and elbow him or head butt him on your way and its and an one.

Player with the Initiative wins - if just by a partial step advantage. Why you need to penetrate - Take the initiative - Drive - go to the hoop. What irritated me all year about OUr offense, and Defense (especially the no help part). If that's the way it's being called - it's the way you gotta play. I don't mind a physical game - I don't think Boals, Trent, Leon, Hunter, etc. did either......

Did the officials not have the same view as we did on TV off the tip off the finger of a Duke player that was called Duke's ball and not overturned upon review in the last 2:00 minutes? I thought the purpose of the review was to actually get the call right. Silly me.

It's one of those things that bugs me about replay. Looking at that replay, I'd say it was 95 percent likely it went off the Duke player's finger. I'd leave some room for a slight bit of doubt that maybe the one angle that seemed to indicate that was deceiving. To me, that's still conclusive enough to overturn it. But maybe it's not, or maybe the guy watching the replay didn't think it was that certain. How conclusive does something have to be to overturn a call in any sport?

At any rate, I don't think it would have changed the outcome, but it still bothers me that we didn't get to find out for sure.

By the way, I'm quite surprised it was a 17-6 vote of people thinking Wisconsin would win. Or was it more that the voters hoped Wisconsin would win?

I thought I heard in the earlier rounds that the replays were provided by the NCAA's system and not from TV. If so, I could see how they didn't overturn. It was only the one angle CBS had that seemed to show the top digit of his finger bending back as the ball apparently hit it.

IMHO those of us who have watched Bobcat basketball since 2008 and yelled at every foul KVK, DeVaughn, Ivo etc got out near the centerline should have fully realized why you hard hedge the high ball screen. Wisconsin did not do that and then did not adjust. Tyus was able to abuse them and hit 3 shots easily as the big did not hedge and he got the open look.

I saw that in the D this year and remarked in several threads. I hope the Bo disciples and tree understands this and adjusts their Defensive principles accordingly. Guys from schools like Belmont, Toledo etc will feast on us if we do not hedge and leave a shooter room.

My friends are complaining about the 2 missed charges, the OOB that was clear on the replay and the Duke player on the endline but IMHO letting Grayson turn the corner and Tyus getting open looks off screens not hedged was the decisive portion of the game. JMHO.

It was wonderful to watch a game where the 2 teams both play positional D and do not get whistled for hands, using bodies and strength to affect the path, very few moving screens and very little unfundamental play... Wish the refs and the NCAA would just enforce the rules from the outset and not waver. Players will adjust and coaches will quit teaching them to do those things which create so many disruptions and barriers to movement on and off the ball.
