Open Thread: Final Four

With the Final Four coming to you live from Reliant Stadium, the tenuous connection of a football blog about your Houston Texans to college basketball just got a whole lot stronger. As the home of the Texans will be on display tonight when Butler tangles with VCU (5:09 p.m. CDT) and Kentucky takes on UConn (7:49 p.m CDT), it'd be downright rude for us not to have an open thread to commemorate the occasion.

Do what you do, kids.  The Comments are your playground.

They had VCU on their heels on the transition, VCU’s defense was not set and in fact not all there yet because of the press… and Butler shoots a 3??

Yeah, but the fundamental problem with that...

… is that you’re conceding the rebound if he misses. I’d be fine with a team’s big man shooting from the outside on, say, a transition play, or if the clock’s running down, but at that point, I’d rather have him pass, then work inside so that there’s a good chance for an offensive rebound.

That said, that last shot I’m griping about was quite open, so it’s not like it was a completely bad decision.

Yeah. It was practically thrown in panic. Bad, bad...

… I’m thinking VCU’s a boom or bust team, and if they’re feeling the pressure at the end of the game (if it’s close), they can implode. Their energy’s exciting to watch, but I’m thinking of a few old-school coaches – Knight, Keady, the old retired Jud Heathcoate, and so on – who’d find a way to pick on that tendency, real heavy. And quite a few current coaches too: Krzyzewski, Williams, among others…

Don’t get me wrong: VCU’s doing a hell of a job implementing their game plan. They’re not backing down at all, and they’re doing their best to just take it straight to Butler. But, again, their style just screams boom/bust to me.

Great team and they played a great game. They definitely deserved to be in this Final Four.

They played with a boatload of passion. Man, if only many of those bigger schools would play with as much heart.

That is REALLY not an advantage for Butler

UConn is now 13-0 in neutral site games. Calhoun has pushed them on the disrespect card all season and going into a hostile environment just feeds that more. Definitely a team that is more comfortable playing in an us against the world setting.

If UConn is so great playing in a hostile setting,

then why are they only 5-5 on the road this year? You’re using a neutral site record to argue that they do well in hostile environments/road games. Not following that logic.

Disrespect card and stuff like that is also overrated. Things like talent, coaching, and execution have a lot more to do with winning a basketball game.

I get it, the BE choked in the tourney, but make no mistake, it was the best conference in college basketball throughout the year. You’re talking about five losses that came at ND, at Pitt, at LVille, at WVU, and at the garden against St Johns.

You’re certainly free to have your opinion but I disagree about things like that being overrated in college. These are for the most part inexperienced guys playing, so getting them mentally ready to play is key and if as a coach you can get them prepared and working hard based on the disrespect card, how is that not part of coaching.

Met one of my favorite bands, saw them live in concert, Denny’s at 1 in the morning, partied with butler grads, and butler won. It’s been awesome.

Am I joking? Heavens no. Are you gorgeous? Hell yes.

Fast food is not meh, and Whataburger is DEFINITELY not meh.

Kentucky fans were not annoyed by me yelling VACATE IT for the whole introduction.

But they still lost!

That second game was horrific.

Some of the worst basketball I’ve seen.

I agree

You would have thought that UK-UConn were the #16 and #15 seeds in the tourney.

VCU and Butler are the two best Final Four teams.

Yeah.

I actually fell asleep twice during the 2nd half of it.

VCU fans were complaining about the refs.

TV people, was their any justification for their anger or were they pulling a Jamkel?

Am I joking? Heavens no. Are you gorgeous? Hell yes.

by Colts Homer on Apr 2, 2011 11:10 PM CDT via mobile reply actions  

Not really.

No glaring calls. The refs were being consistent in calling everything on both sides. Fouls everywhere.

VCU was making a lot of really dumb fouls

Howard attempted 12 FTs tonight; that’s probably a season high for him.

It's hard to tell in the stadium.

I just gave the refs benefit of the doubt on all calls.

Eh

The refs were inconsistent, in my eyes. At times, the refs called ticky tack calls…..and others? No calls. At the same time, it did go both ways, but they got in the flow of the game.

I said that though

VCU’s big problem was the rims with how many shots went in and out.

Stevens and Howard postgame. What an amazing college career for him.
