Which Team will be the NCAA Champion?

[EdJames]

That's an understatement, the whole 64 (or 65, however it is now) team tournament is one of the premier sports events in the world.

Good for those who like pro-ball, but this has small colleges, different colleges every year, seemingly hundreds of students involved. Competition and games like this one...which certainly took some suspenseful twists...both teams are to be congratulated. Virginia really put up one heckuva match... when it really did look like Tech was going to snatch victory.

Congrats to the Cavaliers, it will be the first NCAA title for the State of Virginia and there it is, they won... deservedly. TT was really the team in the limelight, listening to shows today though some prognosticators when with them.

Those old SWC teams, TCU, A & M, Baylor, Texas, UH, they really put out a lot of quality teams now.

That was a great game....nail-biter, Virginia picked up that big lead, up by 9.... watched it all very closely.... probably the best NCAAB title game in years as well.

Great end to the Tourney!!  Congrats Cavs!

(I know the real reason that you watch the LPGA.....  ain't nothing to do with water hazards either!)

   You may have a point there @EdJames

Tech gave up too many frickin' offensive rebounds.

And it seemed like Tech was hitting 3s all night versus Michigan St. Not so tonight and that seems to be the danger with having such a hot hand from far out but if it breaks down, you see what happens. But I guess, it generally balances out, they (or other teams when it has happened to them) might not get that far without such shooting.

Both teams were hitting quite a number of 3s actually.... I'm sure all that can be demonstrated statistically. It was about the only way they could keep up with each other.

Virginia, bend but don't break.
