syracuse Kaleb Joseph will transfer .

when Bridges dunked it to tie the game at 44 I could hear Brent Musberger say "and we are tied..." which he said in 85.

Halftime in Houston we were all walking around wondering if harts block and booths shot were a foot note or meaningful. We are truly a second half team. I just felt if we got it tied up we'd win.

Saw a thread yesterday...can't seem to locate it today. Thanks Tom

Anyone play? If so what are your thoughts on breakouts, busts, sleepers, and rookies?

Thought this was really good. Some nuggets in there even for those of us who have read everything this March/April.

...we would be the next Holy Cross with not moving up in football and the demise of the original Big East...who would have thunk this just 3 years later...unreal...

...did he make an appearance in TX?...understand he had issues here but he does love Villanova...hope he's enjoying this....

Stop being stubborn! You sir, deserve to be a part of the board's celebration as much as anybody. Come back to us and bask in it's glory!

... a bunch of the VUSports crew still at the team hotel posed for this gem:

I am assuming that the team gets championship rings. Do they still do that? I bet they will be something very special.

is only now setting in for me. some crazy stats:

--we shot 58.2 percent from the field--highest in history. including 50 percent from 3.
--arch shot 71 from 2 and 62 from 3 for the tourney.
--we had the third hardest path to the championship, as measured by seeding
--we defeated 4---4!--top 10 teams in a row to finish it. and played a fifth--iowa that was ranked 3rd at one point in the season.
--we defeated the top 2 seeds in the tourney to win it.
--despite the competition, our average margin of victory was second all time--behind kentucky in 1996.

this was at the same time one of the most difficult challenges ever, and one of the most dominating performances against that competition. i cannot get my head around the magnitude of our accomplishment.

Quick story. Coach K used to have a radio show on Sirius - I think on Tuesday nights from like 7-8. Not sure if he still does. It was "his show" but a guy named Dave Sims would co-host it with him. It wasn't really centered on his Duke team..It was more about college hoops in general and each week a different coach would come on and have like a 20-30 min conversation with him.

For some reason I use to always catch it right as it was starting. One week about 2 years ago Jay was his guest. It was a pretty mundane interview but towards the end Arch came up. I think it was right after the team won that tourney down in PR. I was surprised that K even knew his name. He said "that's a kid you win championships with, and I don't mean conferemce championships or Caribbean championships. I mean national championships."

Now maybe he gets notes slipped to him before each show telling him what to say. But that quote always stuck with me. Pretty prophetic from a guy who knows great guard play when he sees it.

Dylan Ennis feel?

I know they are known as the tar heels. Is this in some way derogatory? I see they also have the ram or goat. ???? Where did that come from?

I collected a variety of AP photos here.

Anyone who has some great photos they want share - send them along.

Buddy of mine who went to Georgetown just asked me an interesting question....what was the difference between this year's team and last year's team. Thoughts??

you think the school gives jay and his staff a nice little salary bump for the win?

That was a magnificent victory! Congratulations from a Mizzou fan. Your coach, your team...wonderful. I teared up watching your fans in the pavilion lose their minds at the buzzer!!! What a great moment in sports!

hey buddy where are you ? We haven't heard from you, hope all
Is well.
