Obviously any team that shoots that poor will not win period. On a side note, I heard that tickets for this game were plentiful and you could easily purchase a pair for well below face value. Why was this? Was it the matchup and no number 1's left or something else?

[fsfalcons]

the final has to stop being in these enormous nfl stadiums...its starting to look ridiculous and surely has to throw off the players

[Wreckloose]

I didn't watch any of it, listened to it from an adjacent room. Validation.

[donkdown]

U had to of won Laker?? u always go against public!!

[csm506]

I agree this was bad, does anyone talk about the horrible rims

[squintz4]

i missed the game due to work, but after reading this thread i am not too upset about missing the game

[xxxvince]

the only guys happy abt this game is the ones took under.. what a joke!

[sjm5122]

Game was beyond terrible, but I still love college sports

[Tk Fo Sho]

Soccer blows. I can't believe anyone would compare the two sports...

[No coincidences]

SOCCER gaining leaps and bounds on CBB over the past 5 years..............

Link?

When you got that uconn team winning the title, you know there is something seriously wrong with college ball these days. Until the new generation of kids arrived on the scene college ball was exciting esp. back in the day when u had the fab 5, the great duke-nc rivalries. It was good up until the year kansas won the title with chalmers n co. Next yr NC destroyed the field to win the title n i havent seen one damn team even close to being great. Kids are brought up these days trained to play system ball unlike the guys in the nba u see now honed their skills on the playground. The kids r jumping early obviously that hurts as well but the basketball culture itself has changed drastically over the last few years. I dont know if college ball will ever be as good as it was back in the day.

Terrible final. Butler couldn't make a basket to save there life lol

[tcmoody99]

**** that was painful

This is all because the great players go straight to the NBA or 1 and done. If the players were forced to stick around longer, it'd be a different story. The players are actually better these days. Could you imagine Derrick Rose and John Wall as juniors and seniors?

[LineKrusher]

The whole tourney is a j-o-k-e !!!!

[tunaguitar76]

it was pretty ugly. the whole tourney seemed to be lacking something

[BrigadierPudding]

The college game has always been difficult to watch but this was just awful. On par with a WNBA game.

[FilletMaster]

glad i chose to watch monday night raw

[tblues2005]

I think this game had to be the lowest scoring championship game that I have ever seen.

[ZetaPsi808]

lb this is why butler shot so poorly.

Unders are good when they play in the football stadiums because the shooter's depth perception is thrown off and the rims are brand new. I wish they wouldn't play in these massive arenas anymore but it seems like they will continue to every year.

Wow, really?
that cliche that defense wins championships means nothing?
Just saying. I know Nova beat G-Town back in the day and all, but if you can't defend you CANNOT win. The NBA (which sucks) is about offense ONLY. With such a short shot-clock, you have Jordans running around shooting 100x per game. Of course they are going to get x amount of points. I give a dickload of credit to both Butler and UConn for playing INCREDIBLE D for well over 1/2 the game. D in hoops is difficult. Give Calhoun a dickload of credit. He's amongst the pantheon, now, of top college coaches.

Also, as a retort, to when 'college hoops was awesome' - referencing the 'fab 5'. They won 0 championships and were under heavy violations ala UNLV back in in the day. Whatever happened to watching top players playing top D?

The college game, IMO, is BETTER, without the one and done players. Who wants to watch Lebron go out in the sweet 16 to Manhattan (entirely plausible)?
I do. Great f'n players cannot win a championship alone. If the NCAAs don't show that, then I don't know what does.

[saintjames]

this is a butler team no1 ever saw b4

[louvega71]

it was a really bad game.

[Outlawdino]

I agree as well.

[brock]

I can't belive I played the over.

[MarlinsFan2212]

Not a bad game if you bet on Uconn or UNDER.

[unusialsusp5]

every year the ncaa title game is a bore. no one cares since they are 99% sure to be out of their bracket contest... it is so anti-climatic and coupling that with a boring game to boot.. college basketball is nothing more than an upscale gym class demonstration. no drama no suspense....

[marinagmendes]

i agree that title games are typically boring , the rest of the tournament was so much more exciting

[whatsgood5]

Worst game ever, agreed. I want my two hours back...

[darrell74]

I'm on this wagon of disappointment. It was one of the worst championship games of all time.

[Al Masters]

This game is the worst ever title game. Fukkin bad joke.

The Shrink may of disagreed with this comment,Butler really got him bad last year.

He could of used Last nights Butler performance last year.

1 year already...RIP KEN.

[cadillac pete]

Butler was just completely out of sync. Missed free throws, turnovers, bricks, ugly game.

[Brewers in 7]

no one really cares about college basketball once their bracket gets busted

[justwinthisone]

it was a pathetic display....the UCONN women could have beat Butler in this game. I am glad u can all see Butler for who they really are, a bunch of scrubs
