HUGE game tonight, guys!! Illinois has played well when they had to but this NC team scares me a bit! The Illinois-Arizona game was an outstanding finish but really, AZ was in control and didn't handle the last 4 minutes well and Illinois played perfectly then to close that 15 pt gap! They did pull away from Louisville @ end but too many 3's taken and missed for me earlier in the game. Anyway, I will root for the Illini but NC is awfully strong w 4 lottery picks and a GREAT sub off the bench as well as an experienced coach. How do you guys see it?? Anxious, :)

Jerry......I'm rooting for the Illini but.....the one team I didn't want to see them play was NC! I'm with you in that NCs a great team of players with an equally great coach. Paint me ANXIOUS too!

Hey John, they may need a "Brett" to help them w n. carolina. Should be a good game. NC is loaded w talent (did I see R. Moss in the lineup?).

Illinois All The Way. Keep Nc Coach From Winning It All Again. Nothing Personal Just Think Illinois Coach Is More Deserving. My $.02 Worth .

AGREE!! Illinois coach is 1000% more deserving but we still have to win on the court and this a very talented group @ NC.

I would love to see Illinois win. I just don't think they can stop Sean May and friends. May is an Indiana native so it won't be too bad if NC wins.

Too late to get in on this action?

NC by 5 is my guess :D

Illinois did make it interesting in the second half though.

It was a good tournament! The number 1 & 2 seeds played for the Championship! You didn't want to leave your seat!

I've rooted for Kansas ever since Roy W. came there 17 years ago.......never got it done..

I thought Illini would win tonight- but my heart was with NC........so I'm glad the Tar Heels won.

Sloppy game in several sections....I always felt like NC was going to turn the ball over- just at the wrong time.....

I'll go ahead and pick UNC.

Yeah, I know the game is over........but give me this, please! It's the only time I'll be able to pick a sure winner in the NCAA's. Nothing else has worked.

Arnie, and not known for his pick'em abilities :o :)

Ok, Ok I called it...to the number(I did not make that projection here...this was between my pops and I). I picked UNC to win by 5 with a score of 75 to 70......!!!! :eek: :eek: :cool: . I simply picked the first numbers that came to mind......and won myself a cool 20 bucks.

It was a great season!
