-Jay Bilas

That's good advice

 

[purguy12]

If not for a couple of crappy calls against Arkansas, the SEC's 2nd, 3rd and 4th best teams sent the cream of the ACC packing...

Stop refs were bad for both teams. I agree berry was a charge but they called a foul on jackson when he got thrown to the ground. It was bad on both ends. The difference in that game UNC ending on a 12-0 run.

There's no way that there is a perfect bracket left out there.

Mine is.

I take back my Pelini comment. I just saw Frank hug a fan. Bo woulda knocked that mother fucker out.

Nice dunk!!!

This is easier than I thought.

-Jay Bilas

Only reason he said that is because in March Madness there's at least a day off between games and sometimes 3-5 days.

Kentucky vs UCLA match up will be fun. I hope UCLA wins.

But it's still false. Evidently.

Well he never said Duke was going to win the title (at least I don't think so)

His reason for saying clearly went over your head.

As I stated before, he said that because you never play 4 games in consecutive days in the tournament and you likely never would go through a stretch where you have to play teams as good as Notre Dame, Louisville, and UNC in consecutive rounds.

I'm sure Bilas did not know Duke would have to play a true road game in the tournament. We all that finished two weeks ago. Obviously we were wrong. Top seeds still play true road games in the tournament it seems.

It was a charge, or it was a walk, and instead it results in an and one. Right before that, a ball clearly off UNC with 2 seconds left is reviewed and ref clearly says "no tip". Give me a break dude

Worst match-up for UK of any team in the country. Two offensive teams, and theirs is better. Fox, Monk, and Willis will have to light it up

No, I understood Bilas. I understand 4 games is 4 days is tough, but it will never compare to 6-0 in the big dance. No matter how many off days. Different atmosphere, different environment. If Duke can't beat South Carolina in South Carolina maybe they don't deserve a sweet 16? It's not like SC fans have ever created a daunting home court advantage. Duke is loaded. And I'm not defending the committee putting SC in SC either.

 

[DJ]

Shane bet 5k on Duke.....sucks when you lose a huge bet like that.

 

[jontaejones]

Wow. I didn't see that one coming. Makes me feel a bit better about us losing.

Condolences to Duke fans.

Shot clock violation also funny how u didnt mention the jackson play. Lol. I agree they screwed up on the berry play. Still 12-0 run to end the game was the difference. If u cant score u wont win. Its that simple.

 

[The Derski]

PAC-12 is 8-1 after today. Espn will never mention it.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

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.
