Beard was terrific.

Me and you both. Appalling actually. Rather talk about shoulda been here.

Been done already. Nothing to talk about till grad transfers and recruits commit or announce decisions. Talking about shoulda been was beaten already imo haha

[jazzdelmar]

And just think Virginia won 2 games in OT (Elite 8 & Championship), and their Final 4 semi game by 1pt on a miraculous type finish...not to mention a 4pt game vs Oregon in S16.

To win the Championship so much must work in your favor. Coaching in crunch time and final minutes huge...which Coach Few still perfecting

Ya think?

Beard says good future fathers in that locker room.......NICE comment...never heard that before

His team never quit and maybe should have won the game. He seems like a good guy.

One shining moment. Did Duke win?

Boy the NCAA knows how to milk it. "The official net cutting ladders of the NCAA."

[MJ777]

One shining moment. Did Duke win?

They tied for 5th with a Few other teams.

One shining moment. Did Duke win?

Zion won, all by himself.

And Virginia NCAA title gear is already available. While the Texas Tech gear is being sent to Africa as we speak (absolutely true - there have many, many, many people spotted in Africa with championship gear from teams who lost in the NCAA men's basketball national title game. There are some people in Africa who adorn Gonzaga NCAA title t-shirts and such)

Zion won, all by himself.

LoL

Exceptional team defense 5 working as one is the long standing foundation of basketball
I think it is a thing of beauty transition defense picture perfect. Half court defense exceptional with very few breakdowns
And the best thing is no isolation or one on one basketball. For that go to the farce of a basketball game and watch nba

I am truly enjoying the picture perfect TEAM efforts. All working for each ither

Entertaining game. I don’t disagree with you about this game. The refs called fouls when they were fouls for the most part and, unsurprisingly, the game looked less like a rugby match.

[jazzdelmar]

Zion won, all by himself.

The video would have you believe that. Pathetic cbs.

[MJ777]

Where was BC’s put back slam vs FSU? Now that was a shining moment.

[jazzdelmar]

Where was BC’s put back slam vs FSU? Now that was a shining moment.

All I saw for an E8 team was Few's handstand. Lazy editing by CBS. But enough Zion to choke a horse.

[JPtheBeasta]

It’s ironic that a pivotal play was a turnover in OT when the Texas Texh player was hit on the arm, causing him to lose his dribble, then a referee review changed the out of bounds call to give the ball to Virginia.
