Yes, we have reached the end. No lovable underdog, everyone is cheering for the flat track bully. But a worthy champion they would be, so hopefully they will finish the job in fine fashion this evening. With no further ado…
#3(W) Michigan (+7, +270) v. #1(E) Villanova (9:20, TBS)
Make no bones about it, this line tells the story of a Nova side that has the momentum of a runaway freight train (h/t Friends of Monty Burns FOAR Governor), as Michigan has been pretty ruthless against non-Houston opponents. Both sides are fairly perimeter oriented, and play very good defense. One could call them evenly matched, except that the Wildcats have more ways to score, and more options on the floor. Beilein’s Wolverines, like all Beilein sides, chuck up way too many threes, and rely to an unhealthy extent on the hideous Mo Wagner. That said – this is no fait accompli – there’s a very realistic shot that UM will cut down the nets at the end of our evening. Let’s just hope not. Jesuit power, one last time!
At least Jim Harbaugh won’t need to clean his khakis
ok, so an early night?
Interested to see if this gets me 2nd or 3rd in my big office pool, with my entry that had Nova as champ (was in 10th)
Well you had Cinci in the DFO one….
yeah, uhhh
Goddamnit, they really had a good path. Was right about that part.
Just once, I want her to say “don’t call me “Trayce” you smug asshole”
ok, as glutton for punishment, put my 1st half ML profits on Michigan to win the 2nd half (+115), with $10 on the 2nd half tie at +1600 because lotto scratch-offs is fun.
Looking good Hippo!
I hope at least three of the teams in next year’s Final Four are avian mascots, held at BIRDMURDER DOME.
It could be the Ospreys’ year!
LIU-BROOKLYN BLACKBIRDS BABY
TOO SOON
/lost like $150 on them in the play-in round
//FACK YOU, you’re a degenerate
You can certainly count on the UCONN Huskies to not interfere with that dream
Not counting Michigan out, but this definitely looks like Villanova’s night.
Michigan dead
Dagger.
Smart real American proves Cigarettes are safe. suck it libs
This Donte DiVincenzo I call him Lorenzo DeMedici because he’s bringing about a renaissance for his team at the end of this half.
/not sure if true but he does have a lot of pointes.
Nice try Michigan.
2nd place ain’t bad.
Keep trying though, need some moar points.
Yup. Spread ain’t right yet. But the trend is encouraging.
Also, that was a shitty offensive foul call.
Oh wait, you were talking ’bout teh over.
Yes, all teh points for Litre.
Proud Gun Owner returns fire from “urban” people while Libs stand still shitting themselves
Surprise, white guy shoots FTs well
Nawt fair, he’s just had more practice at it.
/being free that is
oh, that’s QUALITY!
Inject this straight into my veins.
Also bet Los Dodgeros medium heavy. 3-nil in the 1st. Taijuan Walker sucks.
just release the fucking movie already
maybe if, you know, he tried really talking to Jane
Adjustments. Made, are being they.
/just texted Kubes, asked if he smells toast a lot two
This was the best one.
I still need the over.
Dem Ann Arbor boyz are breathing kinda heavy. Just saying.
Sister Jean cursed dem boyz.

Hairy Nerdy bossy Lib, slut shaming a real woman
I bit at +260. $50 is all, though. Mister Winkles’ mates could run away with this fucker.
Smells funny.
Did you taste it?
What is it, Life Cereal?
MY NAME ISN’T MIKEY!!!!!!
that was easy. i should apply to work for Faux News.
when you have 2nd Amendment Rights
I would bet (not like Hippo tho) that this is the basis of one of the actual arguments.
Shills foar NRA, doesn’t know how to hold a gun.
Irony?
IT’S MADE FUR APE FINGERS, OK PAL!!!
Hahahahaha…that was good.
I’m starting to think like them…..
when you have no 2nd Amendment Rights
Also into light bondage…. there’s another one.
Hey look, the Orioles are getting the shit kicked out of them again.
it’s like they aren’t very good or sommet
Nahhhhhhhh, couldn’t be.
The ghost of Ubaldo is still pitching for them.
To be fair part of it is from the burritos they had for lunch at Ted’s; not much kicking needed.
brief +220 window on the 1st half ML bet, but I missed it
my decent sized bet on the SAWX came good, figured they would hit the AA guy the Jeetuhs called up, since I ain’t ever heard of him (and I follow prospects pretty good).
Like follow them in your van and know what time they shower, follow?
chuh chuh
/I offer a wide variety of soaps ,, ppl appreciate that
Don’t forget the constructive criticism you give, people appreciate that deep down.
Beneath every hurtful sob, there’s a heartfelt “thank you” waiting to come out. Just like my stepdad said.
If history is any indication, Nova only needs to withstand Mohammed-Ali and his followers for 600 years or so before they can regain their ground.
Nova do something!
4/10, tan is uneven, guess I wud do her a favor ,, smgdh
9.875621833/10; Would travel to future when apes are the rulers to bang. Also leather cave girl bikini is one of the many.
Sooooo…how long before the demon horns actually pop out of Jay Wright’s skull?
Hmmm, wait until Nova gets down more before putting moar money on them?
I wanted to play the 1st half ML at 6-11, was disappoint at the odds.
Still -235. Vegas ain’t budging yet.
This feels like one of those “wait and check the score at halftime, see it’s a blowout, say ‘I thought so’ and go back to
masturbatingreading” kinda games.Query to the ppls – was Beilein setting up Nova by NOT exploiting Loyola’s lack of size, saving for tonight? Fuck that would be some Billy Big Bollocks stuff if so.
WCS, you know him a bit. What say yewwwww?
Eh, Beilein never had anyone big at WVU. Pittsnogle doesn’t count.
TONIGHT, Michigan is exploiting the size thing.

Go Spurs Go!
which one is Spurs proxy? Or is this a gay sex thang?
you’ll have to beat it out of me……and wear the denim shorts while you do it.
Hey…#BFIB and jorts go WAY BACK!
Spurs are actually 1 point road faves at Staples Centre tonight v Clips.
Or so I’ve heard.
I DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM…YOU HAVE A PROBLEM.
If Oscar can shill for State Farm, we need Kevin to be the spokesman for GEICO.
“masterminds” is a tad strong
Moment of silence for MLK, who was shot 20 times while holding a cell phone.
(He should just obey the police. It’s that simple.)
(I really fucking hate people sometimes.)
think I speaks for us all when I say…sometimes??
“Sometimes “. Hahaha
Camera #1! Focus on teh blacks!!
Between tonight, and the Masters, I’m going to be exposed to a carcinogenic-level of Jim Nantz this week.
I am very, very happy to be able to decontaminate completely after the next 140-ish minutes.
I will be in at least 2 and possibly 3 different Masters pools, which means I have to care about this shit for four days.
Not very hot taek: Pimento ‘n’ cheese sandwiches sound gross.
Hello Friends.
I hope the azaleas are in full bloom this year at Augusta, home of the Masters. Available on CBS!
Camera #1! Don’t focus on the blacks!!
“What blacks?”
I don’t know if I’m comfortable living in a world where Philadelphia can win consecutive national titles.
This is an excellent point.
My Moneyline betting backs up this concern.
Oh. My. Goodgriefness. Brawl in the Family is coming back with an all-Waluigi book. And since I wussed out on the regular books and Tadpole Treble Kickstarters (but I did buy the game), I may need to have them shut up and take my money.
Folks.
I’m going with Michigan but i wouldn’t be surprised if they get blown out.
Michigan needs to create a new athletic dept. position…
Director of Coach’s nose hair trimming.
Damn Beilein, you got a caterpillar crawling out your beak, dude.
Maybe they can recruit someone from Michigan State’s Department of Sexual Predation.
The Paterno statue is in a work release program. he’s a bell now for some Buddhist temple, really turned his life around.
I have Nova – 5.5 and I took the over. It guna be a shootout my friends.
only ACTION is Michigan ML, been bouncy, but got my coin in solely at +270 or more favourable to me
I got in at ‘Nova -5.5. I feel ok about that.
Other reason the line is 7…Michigan hasn’t beaten anyone higher than a six seed (Houston, by one point). Not that it’s their fault or anything, but the Michigan team I’ve seen can’t beat the Villanova team I’ve seen. Who knows, maybe ‘Nova picks tonight to play their worst game of the season, but unless that happens, I see the Wildcats winning and covering.
(Note to all gamblors: bet the house on Michigan)
I think UM has a 35-40% chance to win, but is being treated like a 25% chance. There’s the value. Otherwise, 7 makes me antsy either way.
How many timeouts does each side get?
Loved the NCAA updates and gambling on the Catholics . . beats the hell out of Bingo.
However, as a former Catholics and former Philly resident, I’d note that the Jesuits run St. Joe’s on City Line Avenue. Fancy pants Villanova further out on the Main Line is run by the Augustinians.
OK, I guess I’ll watch this game and root for the underdog and be disappointed as usual.
What, it’s not on till 8:20 central time?!?! Maybe I’ll catch the score in the morning.
And here I thought 9:20 was cutting it late
I’m an old crankypants and have to get up at 4:30 AM most work days; I don’t think I’d even consider watching at all if I lived in the eastern time zone…
I still believe Central time is the best for football.
You’ve clearly never lived on the West Coast.
I have to agree. Nothing beats going out for a run/hike/bike first thing in the am, and getting back home right when kickoff of the early games happens.
Plus SNF still ends early enough that there’s still time for meaningful sex after.
Granted, this isn’t an issue for me currently, but it was pretty cool when it was.
Best Coast, that is all.
