Duke looks like they’ve never played basketball before.

Here is hoping they won’t play anymore this season after tonight.

WCC had 3 other good teams this year and they always schedule hard ooc... but getting into the NCAAT and playing a team just as / more athletic than you in the 2nd round has to be a shock when you've mostly dominated people for months. OTOH, they have got to the Championship game before, and won a lot of NCAAT games...but until they win it all, will always be questions.

 

Yup.  Great take.  This is what I've always said.  It's a complete shock once you reach the late stages of the tourney and play a talented power conference team.  Not seeing that competition for a few months is a detriment.

 

Zags would be best off joining Pac 12 -- and if they won't have them due to football, Mountain West I am sure would bring them in.

I've always liked Few, but after his comments on MD after the Turgeon departure...I'm good with tonight.

 

What you saw there was fraternal loyalty.

Texas Tech just played the dumbest 40 seconds or so of basketball I think I've ever seen.

Texas Tech just played the dumbest 40 seconds or so of basketball I think I've ever seen.

Saving those 2 timeouts for when they were down 5 with 40 seconds left. That was dumb. I get it, but Duke made like 7 straight FG's, and Tech needed to regroup - and they've been great out of timeouts all night.

Not a foul. Bailing out Duke

[TwentyThirtyFive]

And Grant Hill shouldnt be doing Duke games in the S16

They also took a bad shot, then didn't foul for 20 seconds.

Man, Duke is going to win this thing aren't they?

[You Play to Win the Game]

They should, they’re insanely talented. K has done a pretty bad job with the talent he’s had for quite a few years now.

Picks for tonight...

 

Magic run ends for Saint Peters just think Purdue's size is too much

 

Kansas will find a way to survive Providence, but it will not be easy. Friars match up well

 

North Carolina beats UCLA with Jaquez not healthy and Tar Heels playing their best ball of the season

 

Iowa State beats Miami because everyone I know is on the Canes. Have a weird feeling

 

 

[BSLZacKrull]

Hard to describe how impressed I've been lately with Eric Mussleman and the job he has done with this Arkansas program. Hogs have now gotten to back to back Elite 8's in only his second and third years at the school. He has this program way ahead of schedule.

[BSLChrisStoner]

St Peters still in the game with Purdue.

[BSLChrisStoner]

They take the lead!

[You Play to Win the Game]

What a great game.

[You Play to Win the Game]

There’s been 11 lead changes, many of which have been in the last 3 minutes or so.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Make it 12 lead changes. This is awesome. Holloway coaching his ass off, it’s fun to watch.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Just unbelievably wild.
