Duke didn't even know what they ran into tonight. UNC and South Carolina fans will never be this united about a single cause ever again.

I love me some Archie Miller. Wichita is a tough 10 seed though.

Douggie, I still love you. None of my disdain towards Duke is ever directed towards you. I hope you can understand.

I also continue to love Douggie while despising his basketball team

I love how the game recap says "Duke couldn't overcome South Carolina's stifling defense."

They scored 81 points.

True. But, South Carolina scored 88.

Well of course... the main issue was that Duke had nothing close to a stifling defense themselves. If Carolina hadn't come out so cold in the first half, this could have been a laugher.

Few people are more shocked than me at the Cocks being in the SS. I wasn't even sure they could get past Marquette.

Exactly.

Webber was saying the same thing during the telecast.

I think Duke had 75 points at that point.

At no point is 75 points playing good defense.

I sure don't think so...maybe if you score 110 or something, and only let up 75...but this one wasn't decided until about 30 seconds to go.

Really happy that South Carolina won/Duke lost, but let's report the facts accurately

I'll add one exception:

If we get a UNC/UCLA track meet in the E8....75 points will be a sign of good defense. :lol:

The only thing better would be that uNC fan holding up a sign that said "We Loves us some cocks!".

I'm shocked they beat Duke but not surprised they are in the Sweet 16.

I posted earlier in the year after watching them play Seton Hall, that they had a team. It's not a bunch of jokers. Dozier and Silva are athletic as hell and I don't even think Thornwell was playing in that game. Dozier is a McD AA.

You can never tell with the SEC teams. They always have talent but can't always play good team ball.

I see no reason why SC can't make it out of the East.

You told me prior to the Duke game that they had the kind of team that could beat the Devils. I just didn't expect it...they've laid some eggs this season in games where they were more talented.

And they've had this REAL bad habit of playing like crap at the end of seasons. After the Bama game in the SEC Tourney, I thought, "here we go again, we'll be one-and-done and probably should have gone to the NIT again."

Baylor presents a stiff challenge for this offense. Should be a low-scoring affair

Man I can't be too upset with the game last night since I didn't expect us to even keep it close but it still hurts.

Sucks to see our in-state guys crying at the end of the game knowing we were that close to ending 20 years of frustration with Arkansas basketball. They played their guts out.

This was the best team we've had in over a decade. It hurts.

Our maximum effort wasn't good enough tonight. UCLA's offense is too strong to contain for 40 minutes.

But I'm really proud of the guys.

Reading ESPN's recruit and return, it sounds like next year could be even better.

A shame you didn't have Broome this year.

Hey @The Klaw

Looking forward to doing battle next year already!

Hope UConn doesn't limp to the finish line next year.
