It was a great final, but 2 things kept coming to mind.
1. Has there ever been a final 4 with less NBA talent? Hield is a likely lottery pick, but many mock drafts don't have any other player being picked in the 1st round. Nova has zero players likely to get drafted - odd for a national champ.
2. So much for policing physical play. Those games were rough. Someone on this board predicted that the fouls would be called early in the season, less in conference play, and by tourney time it would be back to "normal". That looks to be pretty close to what happened.
