    Great win. It will be a lot tougher though on Monday. Got to D up like tonight. Really impressed with Frasor tonight. He came up with some huge loose balls tonight.

      No. When it goes beyond the rules I consider it dirty. You dont claw at a player or shove a person in the back when they are in the air.

      Like I said before I like their hustle but you cant combine that with dirty play.

          And I am sorry, but this is like the pot calling the kettle black. Just take your win, and quit whining about the other team.

            Sigh. Disappointing end to a great season. You're not gonna beat anybody shooting the way we did tonight, but it was a frustrating game to watch because we didn't play badly - we just shot like hell. We ran the same offense we always run, got the same good looks we always get, and the shots just didn't go down.

            14 point game, with us shooting 18% from 3 and Carolina shooting 50%. We outrebounded Carolina by 1 and had 1 fewer turnover. That tells the story right there. If we shoot even semi-decently we're right in that game and I'm not ready to say Carolina is 14 points better than we are, but the bottom line is that they made shots and we didn't. Congrats, Tarheels.

              That means fouling is dirty no matter if it malicious or not.. That's what I just got out of this argument. Why does UNC fan complain about refs so much? The way they play, they'll get to the line anyway. 37 attempts in fact tonight. Quit crying and enjoy another win. Jeez!!!

                Yeah, I don't consider Nova a dirty team at all. They were playing hard, and the things that happened was just physical basketball. I was actually pleased that the refs let them play.

                  The shove on Davis was chippy. But other than that, they were just the fouls that happen in every game. If you're going to call a foul dirty, that means UNC is dirty as well. Nova was aggressive, the refs called it loose, the Wildcats took advantage. That same opportunity was there for Carolina.

                    Nice season for UConn, extremely disappointing finish.

                    Congratulations MSU fans I guess, despite the whining in this thread.

                      Not to take anything away from MSU but if UConn still had Price healthy they'd be in the NC game IMO. I'm a little surprised they got this far but they're not the same w/o him...

                      It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                        Price played. Dyson did not.

                        Great win for the Heels. Hopefully they get it done on Monday night!!

                          They are going to have to do better on the glass. & can't have 15 lost pts @ the stripe. I'm not too scared of the home court advantage. 60,000 fans screaming @ you isn't your everyday occurance. But going into places like Cameron, LittleJohn, Rupp, Comcast & Lawrence Joel should have this team able to w/stand that type of pressure.

                            They can't leave that many points at the stripe, that's for sure. But they've shot FTs very well all season, so I'm not overly concerned about that. It's going to be a tough game no doubt. But I'm very happy right now, and hope for the best on Monday. Should be a good one.

                              Yeah, I'm thrilled. No one can say these guys were "overrated". They've shown they were worth some of the accolades they got earlier in the year, even if they lose Monday. They've reasonably met expectations. And that's hard when people claim the nation is playing for 2nd place. I'm sure the team will tell us anything short of a title would be a disappointment. But I think making it to this point, where one game decides it all, is an accomplishment in itself. Anyone complaining or criticizing from here would show themselves to be unreasonable.

                                I don't understand the bitch & moan session about 'Nova's play. That is how they play ball. An all year thing. How do you think they can out-rebound Pitt and UNC with only one legit player on the team over 6'7"? They all play like Hansbrough. Don't see you complaining about him.

                                Anyway, props to UNC (despite a couple of their fans). I won't be rooting for them because of Traitor Wayne and their whole gluttony of talent, but gotta give credit where it is due. Those dudes can shoot. I envy that.

                                Which is weird...because before this year, 'Nova was all about shooting from the arch. Now, they're a dribble drive team. Strange. We need better shooters. Corey Stokes will have to improve big time for next year so he won't be a non-factor like he was tonight. Combine him with Taylor King and we may see some more bombs.

                                Last night was a strange game to watch for me. UNC came out playing perfect ball and that is what killed 'Nova the rest of the game. The gap they created from the beginning of the first half kept the game in hand. Because from then on...when 'Nova finally realized they were playing in a real game...things evened out. 'Nova would surge. Then Green or Traitor Wayne would hit a dagger from 3. That was the rest of the game with UNC going to the line like a kabillion times. Five minutes into the second half, I knew the pattern and just laid down and chilled. I saw the outcome before it happened. With 'Nova being horrid from the arch, there was no way into this game.

                                Oh well...hopefully, this will be one of a few more times for 'Nova under Jay Wright.

                                Go MSU!!!
