What an amazingly mismanaged final minute by the Cuse

 

Glad to see Syracuse, and that defense, won't be in the championship game.

 

For a team that wasn't supposed to be able to score against The Zone, Michigan seemed to do just fine.

 

Really, Syracuse? Coming out of a timeout in a make-or-break situation that's the best shot you can get?

 

Where was Fair on that last play?

 

For half the game, yes. But Michigan looked like it couldn't wait to get out of there in the second half, and especially in the last 5 minutes.

 

Ummmm..... Michigan shot 39 percent, scored 25 points in the second half and finished with 61 -- 14.5 below its average. Wouldn't say it did just fine.

 

61 points, 39% from the floor, and 32% from three are not good offensive numbers. They won because Syracuse's offense was even worse.

 

That was about the dumbest last 1-2 minutes I've seen a supposedly good team play. Syracuse fouled when it didn't have to, Triche was out of control and its players didn't seem to be able to discern the difference between being behind by two points and three points.

 

Fortunately for Syracuse, Michigan turned into the 2008 Memphis Tigers at the foul line in the last two minutes, giving it multiple chances. Still couldn't take advantage though.

 

McGary is an absolute butcher at the line.

 

Reel Big Fish.

Boeheim seems like a prick who always has at least a couple of real douches playing for him, so I was glad Syracuse didn't make the title game, but Michigan is moving toward Duke-light status with its flopping and theatrics. It's not hard to imagine McGary in a Duke uniform.
