N/H: 2013 NCAA Tournament National Championship: (1) Louisville vs. (4) Michigan

Missing these FTs could kill Michigan.

Michigan needs to start getting some stops or this one is over

That was funny. Wet spot on the floor makes guy coming to clean it trip.

And it nearly hurt Burke! Ya jerk!

No!!!! Not Burke! Don't let it be a bum wheel now!

I hope Webber sticks to his reputation and does something illegal to a ref after this game.

Burke has certainly been impressive. Louisville looking like they got this though.

That guy who just jacked up a 3 with a fresh shot clock up 8 who's also what 4-20 on the night? No thanks

That or come to New Orleans and calls a timeout he doesn't have.

Game over... Michigan can't rebound.

And UL turns it over as I type it... yikes. Nail biter.

Our bench would have shot the ball into the crowd.

We suck!

Is someone gonna foul?!? Jesus.

UNO just crying because UL dominated this second half.

More than expected that 3 to go down.

Kind of hard when the guy nearly kicks you in the head... lol

Michigan fought the good fight. Welcome to the NBA, Burke.

Game over. Out coached badly.

Despite the poor refereeing this game was really entertaining. Heck of a way for Rick Pitino to go into the hall of fame right after a championship

HAHAHAHAHAH

Pretty sure pitino just **** his pants.

Good game Louisville.

Well I hope this shut up the Burke detractors. Dude is realer than real. There isn't a guy on our team I would trust with the ball more than Burke.

I went to college there. I am invested in the team.

Do you know what it's like to have your alma mater in a game of this magnitude? You have more passion about it.

Bah gawd Kane!!

Great game, like both colleges but as a Burke and Robinson fan a bit upset. Stoked for Kevin Ware. Poor coaching I thought by Michigan late. Pity about the officiating too, the 2 missed goaltends, the Burke block, the missed Diang travel etc etc. Not saying I think Michigan would have won, just would like to have seen the game as a tied/ closer ball game late with the possibility of overtime or a big play. Anyhow one of the best national championship games in several years.

The game would have been different had we not sat Burke 12 min, but great game by Louisville. We got out coached, but that's ok, John will learn and get better.

Its Time for ONE SHINNING MOMENT !!!!!!!!! LOL

Do y'all think Gorgui Dieng will enter the draft, he was impressive tonight.

So, could Siva make it in the NBA? The speed is incredible, and I didn't know he had hops like that. Maybe prisoner of the moment, but I came away impressed as hell with him each time I've watched Louisville this year.

Now my brother is telling me Siva is going as a lottery pick.

I think he will. That Louisville team has a lot of NBA talent on it. Dienge would have been a top 15 pick last year. Tonight Siga, Dienge, and Smith really helped their stock.

You think he's going as a lottery pick? Well wait, let me clarify. He said he thinks he's a top 5 pick. Do you think he's a top 5 pick?

OMG I don't why but I was dying laughing at that wheat thins commercial lmao never seen it before

Top 5? No. Late lotto pick? Sure.

There are many more prospects with more upside than Peyton Siva. He wont be a lottery pick.

Ok. That's what I was telling him.

I think of Tony Delk when I think Payton Siva going in the lotto. He will go in the 1st, just not sure that high.

I don't see any 22 year old averaging a steady 10 and 5 the last 3 years going into the lottery.

The sad thing is you are right. But you will have Kwamee Browns, Darkos, Rafa Arujo, Robert Swift, etc going in the top 10.

There are some really stupid NBA gm's.

MJ broke Kwame.

Just go and slab it on budy, Burke will be by soon.

Ok just to clear this up:

I've been trolling McNamara with this lately on twitter and such, and it was me who's been pushing his "take" on Burke but to be fair he actually likes Burke a lot, just doesn't see the fit on the Pelicans.

Why? Mainly because he doesn't think that Burke can create the on the ball pressure that Monty wants. I think that's asinine and Burke will be a VERY pesky defender in the NBA.

And ANYONE who saw that block last night (which was NOT a foul) would be totally crazy to not realize that Burke is very athletic. Only a handful of PGs in the NBA have elite speed, you don't have to be a roadrunner to be a great PG.

You don't need it to be the best PG. Paul was never on a Wall/Westbrook/Rose type level physically. Now after the injuries he's not even close. There's something to be said about pacing, changing gears, great vision, good shooting, craftiness, and high IQ on offense.

Defense more than anything is about effort. Trey has the length, lateral quickness and foot speed to be just as pesky on ball as Paul if not more so with his 2-3 inch length difference over Paul. Not sure he has Chris' instinct for playing the passing lanes and when to gamble for steals.

If we are waiting for an elite athlete of a PG, we may be waiting for 3-5 years. They are not "easy" to get. Trey Burke is the best option in this draft, and we won't be tied to waiting on Rivers to decide what he going to be in this league.

Very well said, Throne.

Agreed. I'm not tying anything at all to Rivers. Could it happen? Sure and that would be great, then we use one of them as a great piece to move as we build.

Webber, never apologize.
Burke, have a lazy summer and welcome to NOLA
Dell, find us a SF
