Dream Semi's for Maui. I give Zona a good shot at beating Gonzaga. They are just tough minded.

If Gonzaga turns the ball over like they did last night, Arizona has a great shot at beating them.

They didn't want to have to play Duke in the finals.

Ayo vs Horton next

 

[mrwallace2ku]

65 San Diego State

IF they win, gotta think hard about letting that school into the PAC16.

 

[podsox]

Well my auburn pick looks like a bust. They are playing 100 mph. I Expected them to be a little more under control. I was wrong

 

[The Derski]

Auburn is keeping in striking distance. Zion and RJ really haven’t done much yet though.

 

[The Derski]

Wait, Zion is 280? I’m curious what his BMI is. That athletic ability at 280 and not super tall is crazy. He probably needs to lean down a bit to make the next step. 280?!

Auburn has more pts in the paint than duke and bilas making excuses for the joke officiating

He should not be doing Duke games period. He cannot be objective.

 

[podsox]

Ugly gm from both teams but duke survives

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Hachimura has actually been beasting. I think the Zags can take Maui.

Bilas usually sides against Duke, moreso than any other announcer. Mainly in an effort to be perceived as less biased, but you can always turn the sound off when he's calling a game. That's what I do when Franschilla or Dakitch are on

I thought both teams were worn down and fatigued from the game yesterday and playing back-to-back

I just don’t buy it. I always take it as announcers looking for something to talk about because it sounds good. These kids play 9-10 gms a weekend in aau ball. I never played college b-ball so I’m not saying I’m right. Look at the Johnny Flynn Cuse and Kemba uconn teams in the old big east Tourny’s. Playing their 3rd games in 3 days and beating teams playing in their first handly.

Duke wins the game 78-72 but Auburn bettors + the 10.5 points win the money.

Fraschilla's NYC and northeast homerism is quite annoying
