NCAA Tournament national championship game
April 3 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ
CBS
It's always a 50-50 emotional split for me on the final Monday of the college basketball season. One half of me is excited about watching the national title game, and the other half knows this is it until mid-November.
North Carolina won its sixth national championship, 71-65, though it was far from a well-played/officiated game. Neither team shot well from the field - Gonzaga was 34% on its field goal attempts, Carolina, 35 (the Tar Heels were 4-of-27 from three-point range!) - and the free-throw shooting was horrendous (Gonzaga, 17-for-26, UNC 15-for-26). An absurd 44 fouls were called.
Anyway, we haven't laughed about what announcers say in a while, so let's close the collegiate season with some firsts from Monday's title game:
First time "value the basketball" was said - 18:52 left in first half
"Pick and pop" - 12:23 in first
"Dribble drive" - 11:44 in first
"Blow by" - 12:15 in second
Also, Bill Raftery said "the plum bob" when describing a post move, and I'm just not sure what that means.
