NCAA Title Game

Live blogging the NCAA title game...
(This will be updated throughout the night, or until I get bored of it or fall asleep.)

8:05: Trying to get Littlemagette to go to sleep. So far I'm not having much luck...
8:07: Interview with Roy Williams...
8:10: Listen in on Izzo's pep talk...
8:12: Littlemagette's out of bed again...
8:19: I don't think you can call a #2 seed with MSU's tradition a "giant killer"
8:22: Larry Bird and Magic Johnson...SWEET

FIRST HALF
17:00 first half: Littlemagette's out of bed again, and NC's starting the game on a run. By the way, I'm calling UNC by 12.

16:00: UNC's first double-digit lead (15-5)

14:00:UNC is the "epitome of spurtability"...didn't I just hear something about that on a Bud Light commercial? (UNC 22-7)

-Checking on Littlemagette...why won't this kid go to sleep? Daddy wants to watch the game...

-As a science guy, I understand that the sample size in this poll is too small to make the results valid...but it still makes me wonder how KU folk get off with calling themselves the best fans in the world.

11:15: UNC 29-11...no team has ever won the title by defeating 3 #1 seeds. MSU has already beaten two (Louisville and UConn).

10:15: UNC up by 20 (31-11)...MSU is 4 of 14 from the floor.

7:33: (UNC 38-18) 5 UNC players have scored as many or more points as MSU's top scorer...UNC outscoring MSU 20-4 in the paint

7:01: good athletic trainer moment as Raymar Morgan gets popped in the nose again

-I'm kind of digging the commercials for Terminator 4
-Littlemagette's asleep!

4:45: (UNC 46-22) MSU has turned it over 11 times...Ellington has 15 for UNC

1:45: (UNC 51-30)

Halftime: UNC 55-34...Most points scored in the first half by a team in championship game history...largest halftime lead in championship game history
