The intimate confines of the SUPER DOME, limited seating for only 56,000 fans, all who will have a upclose and personal view of the game, if they each bring a Hubble telescope with them.

If Kansas wins, which I do not expect - I win the office pool.

I disapprove of the NCAA tourney played at an Dome facility.

I agree, I understand the demand/high ticket prices part, but I dont understand why anyone would want to go this this great event and sit in Gretna. I wont even go to a basketall game unless I can sit in one of the 3-4 sections on either side of the court... otherwise watching it on TV is fine.... maybe better, if one really wants to watch the game.

Won't change anytime soon.

I saw on the news that at least the Super Dome has a cool sponsor name, Mercedes-Benz, compared to some crappy bank or cell phone company.... so good for New Orleans.

It is almost game time... THE FINAL 4!!!

Here is what Vegas is saying about the results....

Kentucky predicted to win by more than 8 and Ohio predicted to win by more than 3.

No matter what happens we are probably in for 2 great games...lets hope for
well officiated games and all players healthy at the end of the day. GAME ON!!!


6:05 PM EDT
LOUISVILLE 138 137 / 137.5 / 138 137.5 +375
KENTUCKY -9 -9 / -8.5 / -8.5 -05 -8.5 -475

8:45 PM EDT
OHIO STATE -2.5 -2.5 / -2.5 -05 / -2.5 -3 -155
KANSAS 136.5 136.5 / 136 / 136.5 136 +135

MAX-

In the ESPN controlled office pool, Fountain has UK versus KU in the finals with the Jayhawks winning. I'm the only employee with Kansas wininning it all! One other has Louisville with the rest having Kentucky. Despite having Kansas vs UK I'd rather Kansas play Louisville as oppose to UK.

Only $250 but bragging rights is worth much more!

Should be fun!!

Looking at the Super Dome, and that messed up setup...YUCK!!! what a mess.

It is a mess for fans, it is a mess for players... that stupid raised court is a mess... 70% of the fans attending cant see the game.... the sight lines are mess for players shooting longer shots... WHAT A MESS!!! I know the demand for tickets is out of hand, but the real money is made from TV not tickets sold, so why not play these very improatant games in a basketball stadium.


Good luck in your pool Chris.

EDIT-
AND THERE GOES ANOTHER KID SAILING OFF THE ELEVATED FLOOR!!! THAT SETUP IS DANGEROUS!!
IS IT REALLY GOING TO REQUIRE A KID GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED TO CUT THIS CRAP OUT!!!

If that was an OSHA worksite, they would require saftey ropes... or something...

How stupid it is to have kids/coaches on bench looking up at a the court!!!!! /rant

I wish they could fit some more commercials into these games, because an hour of commercials to 20 minutes per basketball half is just not enough. /sarcasm

COME ON LOUISVILLE!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

edit-
or maybe not...


At least that game showed that Kentucky in not invulnerable..... not that I am smart enough to see what Louisville did to play it so close (at times) but that tape will be worth watching to whomever plays them Monday MONDAY MONDAY!!! BE THERE!!



Cheep shot


somebody get that man a razor

I dont usually talk about ref BS, but yeah... phantom traveling, take away the basket too......

Gotta beat the refs too.... it is just the way it is... and KU did.

Gonna be a helluva final game on Monday....
lets see if KU can glean some good information from the UK Louisville game.

You called that man...
I didnt know that before you said it, but you called it.

Got a beak that's strong enough to twist a Tiger's tail. Husk some corn and listen to the Cornhuskers wail...'Cause I'm a Jay-Jay-Jay-Jay-Jayhawk riding on a Kansas gale!

yeah they have a long history of choking. a few years ago they rolled through the tournament and looked like the clear champ and then lost to florida in the championship game. last year they lost to kentucky and i believe ohio state was ranked higher and had a lead most of the game

Poor Ohio State.. but can we really call it "choking" this late in the season? Getting the the Final 4 is pretty dang impressive... and at this level a team is going to run into some pretty good teams.... and with the refs.... and the dome..... and the etc etc.... it takes some luck at this point... so congrats to Ohio State. 3rd-4th best in the land aint to shabby.... plus KU have been the come back kids all year, they were not going to lose tonight... coming back is what they do, all year they have done it.... and tonight they just wanted it more.

WOW!!! HELL YEAH!!!! SING IT!!!!!

Talk about the Sooners
The Cowboys and the Buffs,
Talk about the Tiger and his tail,
Talk about the Wildcats, and those Cornhuskin’ boys,
But I’m the bird to make ‘em weep and wail

‘Cause I’m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Up at Lawrence on the Kaw
‘Cause I’m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
With a sis-boom, hip hoorah
Got a bill that’s big enough
To twist the Tiger’s tail
Husk some corn and listen
To the Cornhusker’s wail
‘Cause I’m a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Riding on a Kansas gale

i'm not knocking the effort by kansas because i wanted then to win but when you haven't won the championship in 52 years that says something too

No nO NO... YOU are supposed to say something like...

"I have Kansas vs Kentucky in finals with JayHawks winning. Not going to happen! Kentucky wins!"

come on man.... the trend is your friend....

The key to Saturday's night win which coach gave the best 1/2 speech...

The experts are picking Kentucky to win by more than 6....

KANSAS 140 137 / 137.5 / 137 137.5 +270
KENTUCKY -6.5 -7 / -6.5 / -6 -6.5 -330

Hoping for a well officiated game and all players healthy at the end.




THIS ONE IS FOR ALL THE MARBLES!!! The final game of March Madness!!!!!
THE TWO WINNINGEST COLLEGE BASKET BALL TEAMS OF ALLTIME, HEAD TO HEAD!!!!
LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!!!




I am hoping Coach Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks learned something by studying the tape of the Louisville Versus UK game where Louisville kept it close.

I agree! I tell you - UK made Louisville look like a high school team. Jones is a scary player too!!

Kentucky by double digits tonight.Book it!

Kansas better be patient - If UK turns this into a running contest this could get ugly very quickly.

Congratulations Kentucky... College Basketball National Champions 2012...



hide your couchs and cars...

Yep. Well done Wildcats. Heckuva team. That said, Rock Chalk Jayhawk! We'll be back...

However, tonight belongs to Kentucky.
