Looks to be a good game between Wisconsin and Duke?

Yep...should be good! Did you notice that the white boys of Wisconsin put it to the brothers of Kentucky? I certainly loved it!

There's plenty of double standard to go around, Leonard. Early on, in the run up to the KU-Wichita State game, the Intrust Bank Center - a big arena in Wichita - announced that they were going to open their facility for free to anyone that wanted to come in and watch the game on their jumbo screens above their court. I guess word got around that the arena would be selling concessions or something and the NCAA put the kibosh on the right now. I find it both ironic and offensive as hell that they would cock block an opportunity for fans to come together and enjoy THEIR product together(and them not make a big profit off it), but let one hood rat utter an obscenity about a white guy and all you hear is crickets.
Well, I, for one, feel that during that interview, that young "man" was representing many, many entities, including himself, his teammates, his school, their legacy and, yes, the NCAA. IMO, the NCAA needs to bend his ass over and break it off - zero tolerance.
One of these days, there won't be a black man in the big house and the tide will turn to where karma will come a-calling on those who chose to engage in tribalism rather than nationalism. Nope, racism is far from a thing of the past. Gonna be a dark day, no pun intended.

Good game although I think Duke got some calls they didn't deserve. I didn't care who won.
Good hunting. El Bee

As far as I am concerned, championship game was between Wisconsin and Kentucky. I think that Kentucky probably would have wiped the floor with Duke had they gotten by Wisconson.
Seems like good sportsmanship is out the door anymore. Real class is winning AND losing with grace. I still think they can't believe that their 'dream' team got beat by a bunch of Upper Mid-Western white guys.
Had that have been a white kid that made the comment Harrison made, Sharpton, Jackson and the race baiters would have been out in force. Guess it is OK for a black kid to say that...real evidence of the double standard, and the media bias towards such things.

That is really funny...you certainly remember the 70's with 'token blacks'...guess the mantra now is that it is bad if you win with 'too many whites'.
I am applauding Lance Homman's alma-mater, Kansas State University, for signing a 6'9" WHITE kid from St. John, Kansas.
This kid was this year's Mr. Basketball Kansas, and Gatorade's Kansas player of the year. Just to show that talent is color blind...
