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

As I said I'm the furthest thing from a Duke apologist but if you're expecting every 50/50 call to go to the team without Duke on their jersey you're begging to be disappointed.

Duke got whistled for more fouls, UCF had quite a few more free throws and were a botched ally oop away from going up six with little time left. They had their shot.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

As chalky as it gets

So every single Vegas favorite won right?

Just hope that sets us up for good sweet 16 games

 

[Deep Creek]

You sure you are watching the same game?

Ohio St is a top 10 defense. Pretty sure Houston was one of the best in the country

They may be. So far tonight they are both allowing a lot of open shots....of which the other team missed a lot of 'em!

 

[redseat]

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

Looks like a great place to see a game as well. It's amazing how far they've come... the school has really bought into them now, Great to see

No denying Duke got extremely lucky last night. Yes, some calls were not made in the final seconds but let's not forget how UCF missed shots that would have used the game. I have to hand it to them, they should have won the game but I can't remember a Duke win where people haven't said they won solely because of the officiating

I do completely get @The Q being upset as he has every right to be, Xion did get away with a charge

Hopefully, other than a few games, the first two rounds have been a hard watch

Started out pretty good then went to shit

We knew it was top heavy but this is very top heavy

Big conferences came to play this year.

ACC - 5 teams in the S16
SEC - 4 teams in the S16
B1G - 3 teams in the S16

No cinderellas this year.

if this crew gets another game this tournament we'll have our answer from the NCAA.

hook and hold was a point of emphasis. Gotta call it there.

Taylor got fouled on his runner more than Zion on his drive against Fall.

Only duke, unc or mich st can get all those to go their way.

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

B1G - 3 teams in the S16

They could have had more if the committee didn't have them facing each other in the second round.

I don't think Iowa or Minnesota were making it to the Sweet 16. Not this year.

im too lazy to look it up...but has any conference won both the ncaa and nit?

Big East did it in 2003 with Cuse winning the NCAA and St Johns won the NIT.

The funny thing is that the NIT was vacated because typical shit, but Georgetown was the runner up so it's all Big East either way.

 

[Deep Creek]

I hope LSU wins it all just so I can watch the NCAA shit down both legs and then spread it all around with their feet.

 

[gob]

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

You don't like your cousins up 460?

 

[Wishbone]

Can we just get to Duke vs UNC already?

 

[phantomfoul88]

Can we just get to Duke vs UNC already?

Nope, probably wouldn’t even watch

 

[UTVolCountry]

Still can't believe Tennessee almost jacked off the game yesterday. Purdue will be tough

If Oregon wins the tournament and Texas wins the NIT tournament, the NIT champion could potentially finish higher in KenPom than the NCAA tournament champion. I actually think that would be kind of funny, so I'm pulling for that.

but then you'd have to pull for Oregon
