I went to get my hair cut this morning and found out my regular barber was gone to Detroit for the game. I also found out that the last two times he has gone to final fours when the Heels were playing they lost in the first round. This could be a bad sign.
I know there are lot of Tarheel haters out there. I compare you to Rush haters. You don't really have a good reason-you just can't stand a WINNER!
so i have a big east bias and i'm rooting for this to happen - a big east final. no disrespect for unc, they are a truly great basketball team. but villanova plays a swarming, suffocating defense, they have great athletes, rebound well and make a lot of free throws. i know that also describes unc, so this should be a great basketball game.
uconn and msu is a mismatch. if it's a high scoring game, uconn wins big and if it's a low scoring game uconn still wins.
I never count out a Tom Izzo team. They go about their business without a lot of fanfare or hype. I really believe that if they would have won the Big 10 tournament they would have been a #1 seed. My Heels did beat MSU 98-63 at Ford Field back in November but that does mean a whole lot now.

I was raised in Alamo, MI, outside of Kalamazoo, but I now currently live in Bethel, CT... so that makes today's Mich. St. vs. UCONN game a win-win for me, but I think UCONN will prevail.
It's nice now and again to post on NB on something other than my disdain for this current administration.
an inspired effort, no doubt spurred on by an enthusiastic and supportive crowd. i didn't expect the spartans to solve the uconn defense. the huskies really looked like they panicked at the end. congratulations to you spartan fans. Lord knows you need something to cheer about more than most.
now, on to the marquis matchup. this one should be a great game between two great teams.
I agree with puredmashie here- very inspired team, definitely out-played UCONN, especially in the last 5 minutes of the game. UCONN fell apart and MSU took complete advantage.
Villanova and NC are playing now, as I write this. Prediction: MSU and NC.
Lord, please give Villanova the skill and strength to beat those cheating, crying blue scumbellies from Chapel Hole and the three refs who will put them on the line twice as much as Villanova.
All I know is 43-10. In case you hippies forgot, that was the butt-whupping my beloved NC State Wolfpack put on your little pointy heads in football last season. Football, a man's sport.
