*** Official San Diego State vs UConn March Madness Championship Game Thread ***
 

In case anybody else is watching. AZTECS LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL don't care LOL

This game is very similar to KU vs UNC last year in that the winner will be the Champ. Imo.

No offense to anyone that does.

UConn should easily cover 6.5 right

Yes, I don't see this one being very close.

Please don't let uconn win another one

It's okay. We really didn't care what you thought.

That was an atrocious rendition of the Anthem.

Stupid 9:30 Eastern start... stay off my lawn, it's bedtime! :cuss:

-7 is a lot, but I still had to go UConn fairly heavy.

Don’t even really like watching them tbh, but gotta respect how good they’ve looked.

BuckinKaeding is probably losing his shit right now… big SDSU guy as I recall.

That was really uncomfortable. She...can't sing. It wasn't a style thing. She is tone deaf and can't hit the notes. Was like a commercial for one of those TV karaoke competitions they used to have. (Maybe they still do.)

You have a knack for seeing things others don’t see.

Reminds me of this chick I used to date who always knew every plot and subplot in realtime when we watched movies together. She’d explain shit to me I had no idea was even happening. So frustrating.

9.9 million watched the Women’s National Championship Game yesterday… this game, even with a record low viewership will still easily top that.

Will it? Heard today on the radio that yesterday's game actually topped any game since Duke/NC in 2008.

It’s 6:30 in Arizona LMAO

The food from your early bird special at the all-you-can-eat buffet hasn’t even digested yet.

Knew I shoulda bet the house. :banghead:

Talked myself out of it because I haven’t won a non-Chiefs related sports bet so far in 2023.

Agree to disagree bub

Who cares about UConn?

It’s going to happen. Aztecs went ice cold.

SDSU sucks ass. How are they "in" this game?

Affirmative action with a Native American mascot

Alabama choked, which was good to see. Makes for a worse final game though.

Because they beat everybody they played.

SDSU also played well that game.

Looks like a lot of nerves. See which team settles down first.

This one looks to be about over

San Diego is embarrassing itself

Well that was terribly soft.

Cali teams are all just soft

People owe KCC an apology for doubting how good UConn is.

I was the one who said they were better than KU when the draw happened?

I am rooting against San Diego State because I don't want Charger fan to ever experience the joy of a championship.

Nuts that UConn didn’t even make a final four until 1999.

And they’re a little over a half away from being a better program all time than Kansas.

I can’t recall that but you did say they would be a problem in KU’s region, did you not?

there goes the ratings

SDU shooting 26%, UConn 62%

Can't win doing that.

Well, that's pretty cool.

KU had a #8 seed with a #4 seed profile, a #4 seed team with a #1 seed profile (the very likely national champion), and a #2 seed with a #1 seed profile in their road. And that was just in the first four games.

If the NCAA wanted to prevent a KU back-to-back, they chose very well.

SDS needs to muddy up this game right now or they're doomed.

Didn't even know we still did moon missions.

I said it was the worst bracket KU ever had and UConn was a big part of that. Pretty sure they'd have either been favored or at least a pick-em game in the S16 if KU got there.

Obsessed

What a mismatch.

First one in 50 years.

?

Just making a factual observation that this will mean that UConn will have more National Championships than Kansas.

Not sure if this says more about UConn’s amazing success in the tournament or the countless times Kansas has choked.

Moment bracket was revealed I thought KU had the region of death because of UConn (as well as a tough 8/9 draw).

I do think you overreacted to Howard but UConn’s dominance justifies your skepticism. Cheers.

At least Kansas hasn't lost to a 15 seed twice

Obsessed.

Howard just had a bad game.

Kansas chokes in the tournament a lot but, sadly, no one chokes in the tournament more than Mizzou.

No. Kansas was really good.

FDU beating Purdue, while surprising, goes to show how much of a paper lion Purdue was and why the skepticism of Purdue doing anything was justified because of inexperienced guards.

Tell me again how UK beat Kansas the year they won the national championship. That story is always funny.

Ah, 2012.

;)

Good one

We still like our national championship winning coach though

You mean you don't enjoy being the center of the college basketball universe with a coach who is an egomaniac that draws criticism left and right?

I don't see how SDSU can score enough to win this game. Their offense is bad.

SDSU feels fortunate to only be down 11. They need some random person to get confusingly hot right now.

UConn is going to have to get cold or do dumb shit. Or I guess fouls, but it doesn't look like they want to call much.

These small guys trying to attack Clingan LMAO

They need to extend it out to the 3 point line. But even then I think they're too slow to beat him.

This has been some criminally bad offense.

They don't have good enough shooting to take him out further. He won't respect it. Big matchup issue.

Barkley needs to do more commercials. Pretty sure I saw one a few weeks ago that he wasn’t in.

Nonetheless, they need to get him out further and try to get him to overcommit one way or the other. The elbow isn't far enough. But I don't think they have the quickness to do it.

Probably need to run some screens to get/keep a body on him and limit his movement.

The reality is they need to go small and bomb 3s and sell out of OREB.

Unfortunately this reminds me a lot of our Natty game against Kentucky. SDSU plays great D and are playing with a lot effort to keep UCONN from pulling away, but they just don't have a go to scorer to get back into this one (they need some rando to get hot to have a chance).

HOO BOY!!!!

Loving this life from SDSU. I want them to win this more than I thought.

Yeah dude. I don't think they have enough, but it's amazing what subbing out a big ogre in the middle does to a guy's defense.

Only way they can win this game and I don't think they have the shooting to pull it off.

Got a sickening feeling my UConn bet is gonna be on the next segment of Bad Beats

At least you didn't bet the house!

They're really calling an off ball foul there? Seriously?

Can someone please tell the camera crew to stop showing extended crowd shots in the middle of a ****ing possession

Just me?

5 POINT GAME!

For whatever reason the cameraperson keeps getting reactions from the fan in the crop top.

They just can't seem to get there.

I’m good with that

Stop showing old ball sacks for 5 seconds when the ball is going up the floor

It’s over.

Because their offense consists of trying to drive at post players who are way bigger and stronger than them.
