FAU fucked with the basketball gods with that punkass dunk at the end against FDU

Exactly

Beautiful jump shot to end it

Miami can't hit anything right now

glad to see I motivated them

Neither team can make a layup

Some sloppy play, but pretty satisfied with that half (hard not to be satisfied up 13).

well that wasn't close huh

UConn hasn't played a close game yet

Let's hope that changes on Monday

South Carolina vs Iowa was the best final four game.

I'm biased though admittedly.

I'd rather enjoy watching Uconn win their 5th title with a blowout of a game.

I mean they are the most boring team that's won multiple national titles so that would be on brand

They can keep being thoroughly uninteresting to anyone outside of the Big East

As someone raised on the Big East, it's nice to see the conference proving itself as a power conference even though it's constantly treated as lesser.

The Big East getting fractured by schools realigning for football was tragic.

I'm still recovering emotionally. Accepting Uconn back into my heart hasn't been easy.

LSU shooting out of their minds this game.

Goddamn LSU

LSU season average is five 3-pointers a game. They have 9 in the first half today with one player being 5 for 5. Team overall shooting 75% from 3.

And more than half the starters on both teams are in foul trouble cause the refs are calling everything.

Here comes Iowa...?

They are trying to make it a game at least, but fouls might kill it before long

I kinda hate that basketball can just go back and decide something was a foul they didn't call in the moment

Neither team is going to have any starters left by the time the game is over

Yeah the refs have just taken over this game basically start to finish. Players seemed scared to guard shots a lot or fight for rebounds because of all the calls.

LSU is the deeper team so it's a big advantage to them.

First starter fouled out

At least my wife is happy with LSU winning

I was at work but it seems I didn't miss much

What's kinda hilarious I accidentally made an automated women's bracket at the start.

The computer generated bracket gave me a perfect final four with Iowa>LSU and is in the 100th percentile.

This is such an ill conceived final game.

You already have a game that's going to have a low draw, and you're putting it on so late at night that you're probably losing most of the east AND central timezone.

But they do that every year! And the time was definitely set before they knew the match-up.

That said, they really should aim to start at 8 Eastern time most years if they have to hold the final on a weeknight. Maybe every four four years or so they can do one stupid late for the West Coasters.

Yeah, the 9 PM start for the final has always been bad

why am I not watching basketball yet

I'm still not sure I'm watching basketball yet

One of those finals where both teams get the yips

Come on UConn

Got $800 on the line

this game teased me when both teams came out hitting 4 of their first 5 shots

I don't think San Diego State has made a shot since

Especially on a Monday. Like bro we all work tomorrow. Im not staying up late for this shit.

Given it feels like UConn is just going to win by 20 again and the absurd start time, probably not watching a second of it either.

Every time the game looks like it might accidentally get exciting things quickly "correct" themselves.

why don't players just dunk instead of going for layups on fast breaks

This game is quickly getting out of hand, another fun story ruined by UConn winning

*Checks score*

Yep. Coronation.

that was a charge the last time they called it.

a little consistency on the officiating would be nice.

UCONN not being up 30+ is a miracle. SDSU looks abysmal.

It feels like San Diego State can't get the score closer than 10 no matter how hard they try

Wasn't UConn up by almost 20?

Hasn't UConn win their games by an average of over 20

What happened

UConn's biggest lead has been 15, I believe. It's been between 10-15 points all second half until now.

So it's one of those games where it's never a blowout but it never feels like it's in question?

As a UCONN fan, they definitely have the ability to win it, but they will probably forget how to play in at least one game.

Fortunately SDSU also forgot

Well as a Seton Hall fan I am enjoying this.

Let's gooooooo
