2017 National Championship: North Carolina opens as 2-point favorite over Gonzaga

Zags are one step away from pissing off every "professional NCAA Basketball pundit". The network nightmare is Gonzaga winning it all as proved by CBS postgame coverage. They could not stop slurping all over Frank Martin and the USC Gamecocks. They had the script all wrong and could not switch gears. Seems aas if Charles Barkley is the only voice of sanity.

That 37 -1 record posted by Zags so far must be a fluke. . Amazing that Mark Few was given the NCAA Coach of the Year honor and not Frank Martin.

In the AP poll era (since 1948), Gonzaga is the first team to make it to the title game without having faced a top-10 team all season.

Congrats to the referees. They totally dominated the game.

Also they made some bad calls but I don't think it effected the outcome.

There were a couple of fouls called against UNC players that left be totally perplexed. I'm sure Gonzaga feels the same way.

My comment was mocking the officials, not praising them.

That's the way I took it. I was just giving my 2 cents as well.

This was one of the most ugly, boring basketball games I have ever watched. Too bad the referees dominated.

 

[DWKB]

As long as there are part time officials the college basketball game will suffer.

 

[Southpaw]

I don't know for sure, but it is possible someone decides by plan how a game will be called. I wonder if this was one of those games where they were instructed to keep it close for max ad revenue. It was a close game the whole way, Let 'em play.
