Just curious about what people's thoughts are about the game tonight. It sucks that we have to play at the same time. I'm a Clipper fan first so I'll be paying attention to our game and checking the score of Kansas & Kentucky.
I have Kentucky winning it all in my bracket so I'm going with them. They are the most talented team, but Coach Cal has never won a championship before. I think this game will be interesting.

Throughout most of my life, I could not stand Kentucky and I'm definitely not a fan of Calipari. So, these last few seasons have really sucked for me due to some of the players that they have had. I really liked MKG and Davis and I can't root against those guys.
I think Kentucky will more than likely take it. For the sake of their players, I hope that nothing is eventually vacated if they do win.

I haven't watched much of the game but I know Kentucky has a comfortable lead at half time.

I like his game.
I'm a bit disappointed that I haven't really been able to see this, but I have to go with the Clippers first.

Same, I only caught a bit when we were at the half, Kentucky was blowing them out.

There's still a chance for Kansas to come back. It's gotten interesting.

It's over, I was rooting for the underdog Kansas. UK is just way too stacked.

My prediction held up. I picked Kentucky over Kansas in my bracket weeks ago. First time I ever got it right.

Kansas made a valiant comeback, but too little too late. Calipari gets it, but will he keep it?
Congrats to the Wildcats. They were clearly the best team in NCAA basketball and I can't wait to see some of these guys in the NBA playing for the Bobcats and Wizards.

I'm also wondering if Coach Cal and Kentucky will keep this NCAA Championship. I'm curious to see how good Anthony Davis will be in the NBA.

My original pick was Kansas over Missouri, that didn't work out too well. Davis is a really good player, but seems more limited offensively than Blake was in College. Davis could become a special player in the NBA.
2nd thing I learned was Whithley ??? is better than I gave him credit for me. I think he was the best player on the floor(minus a couple bad dunks) for Kansas & his stock rose.
Not a Calipari fan, he had a great team. I am hoping that this Title is not "stripped away" in the years to come, it would look really bad for college sports

Anthony Davis is raw offensively. He could prove me wrong but right now I think he would struggle scoring in the NBA if he comes out now. He's skinny so he can't really post up and he doesn't have a consistent jump shot. I'd like to see his offensive game develop and for him to become more physical. As time goes on I'm sure he will because he is still really young and will mature physically. Like I said before I'm just curious as to how well he will do when he enters the NBA.

Thought Withey looked pathetic. Tripping over himself, getting shots blocked. Bad. He can block shots though. But the post play in the game from what I saw was just miserable. Too much good defensive.
