Running 2018 college rings postseason thread

Pretty amazing to think that Michigan is here because Houston didn't guard the inbounder on a last-second play.

Villanova has won by double digits and covered the spread in every tournament game. Wonder if any team ever did that all the way through.

Read somewhere that the only teams Villanova played that play at the pace Michigan plays were Northern Iowa and Radford. Nova beat Northern Iowa, 64-50. Maybe something similar tonight. They had no problem against Radford.

 

Wonder how many national champs just got by in the first round. Can't think of any recently but UCLA was one when Tyus Edney dribbled the length of the
court and hit a layup at the buzzer to beat Mizzou.

edit: bad memory, looked it up was 2nd round

 

The Michigan/Houston game was also 2nd round.

 

Florida got a buzzer-beater to beat Butler one of the years it won.

 

That was the 2000 team that lost to Michigan State in the final.

 

Incorrect. That buzzer beater was in 2000. Michigan State won the title that year.

 

OK, thought it was a year they won.

 

FWIW, they did play Butler in the Sweet 16 in one of their title years (07), and it was also a really close game. But not a buzzer beater.

I can see how one could easily get those two games conflated.

 

Now I know who has me on ignore.

 

NC State beat Pepperdine in double OT in the first round in 1983.

 

Nobody ever hears about Jim Valvano if Pepperdine's all-time leading free-throw shooter could have made one in regulation or 1OT.

 

Hahhahaha,or he just wanted to restate it or he didn't read the "Messages have been posted since you loaded this page," message.
