      I've paid a lot of attention to the men's and women's basketball tournaments since the elite 8. There has been some great basketball and some great storylines. Geno Auriema's UConn team made an unlikely run, they are so fun to watch with their unselfishness and the way they play as a team, but collided with a buzz saw in South Carolina yesterday. SC were so good it looked like women vs girls.

      Tonight's final will pit Kansas vs North Carolina, who put out Duke and coach K for his final time in the semifinal. Their star centre turned his ankle in the semi so they better hope he can play close to 100%

        I hope that Kansas wins as my time watching Illinois coincided with Bill Self's tenure as coach. College basketball is great to experience live.

        In the women's, UConn and Tennessee dominated for so long so it's been good to share the titles around in recent years.

          It's amazing how many spectators they get to be able to fill half of an NFL stadium. I don't think I'd pay to watch from the top tier

            Well, that was a game of two halves.

              @bovidae Wow, what a game. Kansas cranked up their defence, Love Bacot and Manek went cold (and then Bacot re-injured his ankle), and KU finally got some scoring from deep, along with two huge plays by their centre

                @canefan Good to see plenty of ex-players/coaches in the crowd too.

                  Yeah. A who's who of UNC and KU ball. No MJ though, or maybe he was hiding up in a skybox
