Saw that old friend Tyler Scanlon hit the winning shot with 3 seconds left to send Belmont to the tournament. If he had stayed at BU for his senior season it may have closed any gap that exists between Colgate and the Terriers. On a beautiful back-door cut. Warmed my heart. That game was proof you don't need to be in a high major conference to have a highly entertaining championship game. Great crowd, great game. Love/am envious of the Belmont program.

Just dawned on me that the finish must have provided Sydney Johnson (doing the color for the game) with a warm flashback to 1996:

Will be interesting to see if Reilly returns. I hope he does but I suspect he will not. Is this a hunch on your part. Pure hunch. No inside info.

Boston beat Bucknell in a tight one. Colgate is running away from Laffy. No matter what, a core of Laf fans will insist that their coach is the greatest ever. Ever! At Bucknell, the coach won’t be treated quite the same. Coach turnover will be interesting this year but maybe nobody will move. Most schools will wind up with average records.

‘Gate shot 4 of 22 from 3, including two open looks in the last ten seconds- they’re off to the NIT (if there is one) BU almost lost it from the foul line shooting something like 4 of 14 - just amazing but they are big and tough - Congrats to BU -

This game may have been the last shred of normalcy in the Spring 2019 sports calendar across the board.

Maybe, but they looked like two very good teams today. BU's D contributed

Congrats to BosU... great defensive effort [D wins championships.. in a walk if you make free throws]
Interesting how may times Max & other bigs were covering Burns in 2nd half
Reminds me of the switching RW's teams... the bigger defender wound up on the good shooter

The final seconds of the game reminded me of our championship game in 2016 (Colgate hoisting up desperation 3s like Lehigh did)…...congrats to BU

And, having been there in 2016, it was like "deja vu", Colgate fans could not get out fast enough, just like the Lehigh fans! Both places emptied out quickly, leaving Holy Cross and Boston University fans to celebrate on the court!

You'd be surprised how poorly some of the more elite players would shoot if they knew the season was over if they lost.

They have the NIT, if there is one this year

They have the NIT, if there is one this year Basically all NIT games are televised, but the pay check has to be smaller than the big dance. Less TV revenue makes it easier to cancel and harder to play in empty arenas
