Game Thread: Elite Eight (Day 2)

[Used 2 B Hu]

I have zero PPR.

At least I can't possibly finish dead last.

 

[gobigred]

I have Sparty and Wisc in my Final 4 but have them losing to Duke and Ky..

I had Arizona over Wisky but didnt have Michigan State losing to Duke as well. I think I had Wisky in finals in my 2nd chance bracket

Let's Go Duke!

Good start for Duke.

valentine and dawson (seniors) have been the 2 dumbest players on the court today

Valentine is a Junior. And he's probably the most inconsistent player in the country. About 25% of the time he is the best player on the floor no matter who they are playing. Another 25% he is just a really really good player. Then there are 25% of the games where he is just another guy on the floor and doesn't make a difference one way or another. Finally there are games where he looks like absolute dog shit and you wish Izzo would get him off the floor ASAP.

Dawson IS dumb as a rock though. Last year he missed a huge chunk of the season with a broken hand... from punching a desk because he was sick of getting yelled at during film review. He's a shitty basketball player, and doesn't seem to give a fuck either. But he's probably in the top 5 of pure athletes in all of NCAA basketball.

Damn ankle sprains will be the death of Duke

 

[Texas Jefe]

Congrats to Sparty. Team got better as the year went on. Izzo a dang good coach

s'far's being a shitty player though?
LOL!

Maybe next year the committee will seed MSU properly. They've missed it last year and this year.

no shit
no fucking shit

wouldn't ya hate being a Cedar Village couch right about now?

That half was very bizarre. So much offense in the first tenish minutes, and then nobody could score. Duke has to love their position.

 

[podsox]

Bell and Wesley look so awkward on offense today. they are rushing everything they do

 

[Robotech]

I just saw the documentary about how people hate Christian Laettner and Duke. Am I allowed to talk about a 30 for 30 documentary here? It's a nice look into the life of Christian Laettner and the great Duke teams of the late '80s and early '90s. I am a Duke hater, too, but it's all in good fun. Just as they are doing today, they have provided much entertainment to college basketball fans over the years, including the haters. The only thing that really pisses me off is that the NCAA did nothing about the Lance Thomas jewelry scandal. Many feel that if that were any other school, the 2010 championship would've been vacated. It's not like it's gonna hurt Duke a whole lot to lose one championship when they've got so many. LOL.

I guess as an overall player he is above average. He definitely deserves his starting spot on a final four team.

What I meant was that his basketball skills are way below average. Everything besides his running and jumping. He has always for his 4 years here relied 100% on being a superior athlete.

Where do you think MSU should have been seeded and why?

no shit

Police were ready this time. Stopped it before it really started. Sounds like they only had time to burn one couch.

And I still have a scar from my trip to Cedar Village in 2000. Was a student at CMU at 4 he time, but heard how much fun it was in 1999 so a bunch of us went there the next year. I ended up getting hit with a tear gas cannister and it somehow got caught in the hammer loop thingy on my jeans. Burned the hell out of my leg.

well, I'm at 98.6 % in one of my other espins brackets, in the top 100,000 or so, but WHAT THE HELL GOOD IS THAT! WORTHLess, cant brag to anyone about it. Might as well be a figment of my imagination

 

[pennstatenut]

His why will consist of "well, they're Michigan State.
