Mike Adras is the head men’s basketball coach at Northern Arizona University. In the final coach’s poll of the NCAA basketball season, Adras did not vote for UConn, winners of the NCAA national championship tournament. Adras instead voted for Ohio State as the number one team, despite the fact that Ohio State was eliminated in the 4th round of the tournament. Coach Adras joined Robert in Hour 3. Podcast after the jump.
UConn beat Butler 53-41 to win the national championship. Congratulations to UConn.
Because we live in a media-choked society, however, the first draft of history being written about this title game is not about who won. Instead, many – and I meen MANY …did you look at Twitter last night? – feel compelled to talk about how “ugly” the game was.
Here’s our message to those who think last night’s game was ugly: Go take a walk. Forever.
There were 68. Now there are two. Three decadent weeks of pure basketball entertainment. You laughed, you cried, you couldn’t get enough. Now, UConn and Butler.
The way this tournament has gone, could this game be anything but a thriller?
