Wow, UConn is making this interesting here. MSU's lead down to four with 1:18 remaining . . .

Looks like this one's over. Great tourney run Izzo has put together here.

[Gil Dobie]

Big win for Izzo and the Spartans.

Attention Louisville and UConn: CAROLINA BEAT MSU BY 35!

That is all....

[Gil Dobie]

Carolina is making an good case for Monday's championship game, up by 11 with 9:23 left in the half.

This game is not over

This game is not over

Up 15 with 7:20 left in the half, the nails are being set on the coffin

[UMass922]

Villanova within nine at the half; could have been a lot worse.

[UMass922]

'Nova had a chance to get within three, but had a shot rim out, and now it's quickly back up to a 10-point UNC lead . . .

My bracket's looking nice, if UNC closes it out I'll have my championship game correct.

[Hoyadestroya85]

Regardless of the outcome of the game.. it's been a magical run and we weren't supposed to make it this far. We were picked to finish 5th in the big east but we made it to the final four.. not bad. Top 5 recruiting class coming in and some good players back next year may be our year

[Gil Dobie]

Congrats on a great season Wildcats xthumbsupx

[UMass922]

MSU-UNC on Monday night. All the pressure will be on Carolina, you'd have to think. The Spartans will be looking to take down a third straight #1 seed. Kinda like that '97 Arizona team . . .

I like the optimism and all, but with all the seniors that are gone and maybe Reynolds leaving too, this was probably the year to do it.

Go Spartans

[UMass922]

Carolina dominating so far.

[Gil Dobie]

Carolina is taking care of business

[UNHWildCats]

holy crap imma actually win a NCAA bracket pool

[UMass922]

Lawson had seven steals in the first half. xeekx

[CrackerRiley]

Congrats UNC! I'm lovin' it!

Sit down Big East...

[gmoney55]

Fitting end for the least exciting tournament I can remember.

[brownbear]

Congrats UNC! I'm lovin' it!

Sit down Big East...

UNC is the #1 team in the country. Other than them, the ACC was awful in the tournament (Wake Forest, Florida State, Clemson, BC all losing in the first round to lower seeded teams, Duke losing to Nova in Sweet 16).

Of course, I think he was responding to the "Sit down Big East" comment. Other than the lack of close games, this tourney will be remembered for the dominance of UNC and the BE putting record teams in the Sweet 16 and Elite 8, and two in the Final Four. UNC winning doesn't change the fact that the ACC as a whole looked terrible. They were great, the league was awful.

Was surprised it was that easy last night. Enjoyed it though.
