They arent a tourney team. Surprised they are even in this game. They have one of the worst offenses in the country

It's Ohio State. They'll be back in the mix. Give Holtmann a few years.

 

[The Derski]

Houston is becoming one of those mid-majors that is respectable in multiple sports now.

 

[SU Nittany Tide]

UVA should walk to the elite 8

Careful. They were doubled up by gardner Webb after getting blown out by UMBC.

 

[Ottermatic]

Fyi, I've known @The Q for over 15 years, and he has never seen Duke win a close game that he did not think was a blatant gift from the refs.

It's funny how consistent he is about it

UVA should walk to the elite 8

First to 50 wins if it's UC Irvine that pulls out the W?

 

[SU Nittany Tide]

UC Irvine looks outmatched.

Nah. I bet Oregon won't score for the first 7+ in the second half.

 

[jontaejones]

Now I know who Payton Pritchard reminds me of. He’s kind of like a poor mans Aaron Craft. Punchable face

I don’t think it was so much the refs as it was just crazy luck.

I also don’t think fans of consistently lucky teams really appreciate and acknowledge how lucky they are.

UCF just happens to blow a wide open alleyoop. Barrett just so happens to grab the luckiest offensive rebound of his career and make an easy layup. UCF just so happens to barely miss two game winners as the clock expires.

That’s Duke luck in a nutshell.

 

[The Derski]

Oh. My. God.

Is that Pritchard?

I dont deny Duke got very lucky today in the least.

I just wanted to put Qs ranting about the refs in perspective.

He's probably my best friend on this board. Certainly the only one I've ever met in person. But he cant be objective when talking about the refs in close Duke games.

Marshall Henderson

Holy crap. I forgot about that dude. He was certifiably insane.

It was wn obvious charge on Zion.

There were 2 rebounding fouls, Incldunf a flagrant 1 (stupid rule, but it is) and Taylor was fouled more than Zion was on his runner at the end.

Compete garbage.

The only other teams who get all those calls are mich st and unc


Sucked out any excitement left in the tournaments for me

I'll say this for Duke. They provided some of the only drama in these whole four days. It sucked pretty bad, but next weeks games should be phenomenal.

I hope every game is a blowout from here on out

 

[drbuck10]

Well for the first time ever I scored a perfect round of 32!

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Houston just has too many playmakers. Ohio St has lacked playmakers for years now

Hope to God these guys from next year are the answer

Still dancing. First Sweet 16 basically ever (we had one way back in the 60s before the tourney really expanded). Fuck Liberty. Definitely a plus beating that trash institution
