Yep and I like Harbaugh too. They go past annoying to me and are just different cats that make the sport interesting because they are just so wacky.He's Jim Harbaugh. Maybe even more nutty.

Clingan is such 'huge dude' name.
Title game will be very interesting. Clingan is more dynamic, however, can he block Edey’s shot? The release point for Edey is much different than anyone else Clingan blocks. Should be fun, but yes I hope UConn just pounds them and keeps the Big Ten without a title since 2000 again.
long as contact is deemed to occur from a “basketball move” it’s not a flagrant.I’m confused by the flagrant one fouls with contact to the face. Seems like every game I watched this year, it was an automatic flagrant one for any contact to the face. Incidental or not. I actually thought that was a rule change in men’s college basketball. They didn’t seem to call that at the end of the UCONN and Alabama game even after the review.

From what I had seen this year until recently, every instance of contact to the face was minimum flagrant one. I actually thought that was a rule change. Glad that I’m wrong.It definitely seems like there's been a shift in the last few weeks of calling less of that, and even when they'd otherwise be forced to call it they lean towards calling a cylinder violation instead.
A great season a coming if the boys shoot that for the season.Excluding today's games, 3-point shooting in the tournament:

Connecticut is the 7th overall #1 seed (out of 20) to play in the National Championship Game. Only three overall #1 seeds (2007 Florida, 2012 Kentucky, 2013 Louisville) have won the National Championship.
UConn rolling despite not shooting well is humblingExcluding today's games, 3-point shooting in the tournament:

My personal favorite this year was when Watson got elbowed so hard in the face by k-state that he got a concussion, and it was called a foul on Watson.long as contact is deemed to occur from a “basketball move” it’s not a flagrant.
I still think we would have made the Final 4 in any other region this year.A great season a coming if the boys shoot that for the season.
Iowa State lost to #3 seed Illinois in Boston in the Sweet 16, not to UConn. ISU not making the Final Four this year had nothing to do with their region.I still think we would have made the Final 4 in any other region this year.
Agree to disagree. It's all about the matchups. The 2 teams I disliked our matchups with the most going into the tournament (before the brackets were even announced) were Illinois and UConn.Iowa State lost to #3 seed Illinois in Boston in the Sweet 16, not to UConn.
