NT03 · April 5, 2009

If UNC plays like they did against Nova , they will lose

UNC has the talent....MSU seems to have the intagibles. If the Spartans win it'll be the 2nd time a school beats three #1 seeds to win the title.

i Have UNC as my champion in 2 brackets, but i have a feeling that Michigan St wins.

Of course, I have to say UNC will win since my office is in Chapel Hill. If they win, be sure and tune into the postgame report to view a particular UNC custom. After significant victories,the UNC students set fire to cardboard boxes and then take turns jumping over them! All this under the watchful eye of the police and fire departments who probably wish they could jump over the boxes too! BTW, school spirit is always huge here. Even the town's fire trucks are painted Carolina blue.

UNC blew them out earlier in the season, but MSU may be playing the best bball right now. If they guard the perimeter shoot of UNC tomorrow night and play their game, they may very well win, but if UNC is shooting the 3 ball, they won't.

I'm going with the directional school out of loyalty to my alma mater. On the other hand, if we had taken the TX State name, our uniforms would probably look just like the team from East Lansing. Tough choice. <_<

I will be pulling for Michigan State, but voted for UNC as I think they are more talented and will win.

I'm taking Michigan State with the home court, er stadium, advantage.

It's a tough choice. Will the wind be a factor?

BTW, I remember many years ago when the Ttech alumni were afraid they were going to take the TSU name. Wonder how many other schools took a pass. Is it better to be directional (SWT) or an "at" school (TSU@SM)???

Note also: When you are an "at" school like UTA, you can have the added indignity of some jerk in Austin changing your school colors (note the Tangerine trim on Mavericks uniforms next basketball season). <_<

This is a disaster of a championship game.

GoMeanGreen1999 · April 7, 2009

Wonder if they can come back from 20 down.

GoMeanGreen1999 · April 7, 2009

I love it - Magic Johnson, having played at Michigan State, comes to the National Championship game, knowing he will be shown on TV, with a button down light blue shirt on.

It's depressing that the final game for 7 months is so poor.

UNT90 · April 7, 2009

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz wake me if lead gets under ten. Still can't believe Mich St made it this far.

CMJ · April 7, 2009

This is nothing against the quality of MSU....UNC just came out firing on all cylinders in the 1st half.

and Michigan state does tent to play better in the second halfs than they do in the first halfs.

CMJ · April 7, 2009

Spartans definitely playing better defense in the 2nd half. Honestly their offense hasn't been that bad(other than chucking up too many ill advised 3's), but their turnovers in the 1st half just put them in too big of a hole. Tar Heels looks fantastic in the 1st...unstoppable really. MSU has made them play their style in the 2nd...if they coulda done that in the 1st half it mighta been a 5 point lead at this point instead of UNC by 15.

CMJ · April 7, 2009

Once MSU got their bearings I thought they played well, but when you're down 24 points or whatever it is, you're just not gonna come back from that against a team as loaded as UNC. If MSU played the 2nd half like they did the 1st, that woulda been a helluva final.

UNC was as dominant through this tournament as any team I've ever seen. I love alot of sports, but college hoops is my favorite....so I'm sad the last game I'll see for 7 months was such a letdown.

Oh well...on to next year.

Sorry to hear that you guys have gone tangerine. Btw, Austin is an "at" school just like you all are. They just happen to be the biggest "at" on the block.
