You didn't like FGCU?



What they did to Georgetown in that 5-minute stretch might have been my favorite moment of the tournament in the last 5 years. That was jaw-droppingly incredible.

I'm loving this Louisville MSU matchup. Two HoF coaches fighting it out for the Final Four

I'm no a wisconsin fan, but watching dekker take over and dominate the end of games has been pretty cool.

I like seeing a Wichita State/VCU/George Mason


The Final Four with VCU and Butler was just awful, awful basketball. I'll take great teams playing over Cinderellas any time

I didn't think that was the greatest game either, but if Michigan State and UConn played that game, it would have been called a "classic slugfest."

Last year's Final Four was not aesthetically pleasing either, especially Florida/UConn, but it'll get a pass because they're brand names.

I don't care who was playing, I would have called it what it was, awful.

ETA: The Duke Butler final was a very good game.

Get a pass from whom? Like no one has every said a team with big names was bad I was busy that night so i didn't see it, looking at the score I'd say it was forgettable. I didn't watch the final because that type of match up is exactly what I don't want to see, 2 teams that were ok all year and got hot. 2011 UConn was just as bad.

Michigan State/Louisville has been a good game.

That's because the term "March Madness" arose from a flurry of first round upsets many years ago .. Now the NCAA, CBS, ESPN, etc. market the frick out of upsets and that these are what makes the tourney great .. So, when you get a few days of the chalk winning and winning easily -- like they should, people get bored ...

ratings and attendance tell a different story. People say they like upsets especially in round 1, but only tune into the Final Four when it's the big name programs.
