The National Championship game was outstanding. Both teams displayed a tremendous amount of skill and grit. I think the refs did a substandard job both ways, but that’s nothing new for college basketball. Any team would have a hard time beating UNC when Sean May in a groove, but to go 10/11 and put the Illinois big men in foul trouble, kudos to Illinois for battling back. Not only did May shoot great from the field, he passed very well out of the post to set up his teammates for three point opportunities (they cashed in shooting over 50% from downtown). Illinois seems to adapt well. They rarely shoot poorly, or trail big in a game, but they still came out and did everything in their power to win the game. Super effort from both teams, it was an enjoyable game to watch.
