lol at Allen crying over brooks taking that shoT

Even with no shot clock I don't care if players take a last shot, but especially with the shot clock still a factor by all means shoot it.

Run it out if u can run it IMO. Shoot if there is a shot clock difference

 

[Olyduck]

And thats why he shot it but also its not like he was toes on the line he was deeeeeeep just throwing it up to throw it up.

Looking more forward to tomorrow games than I was todays. Didn't figure any of the 4 today would be too close. I can see all 4 tomorrow being 1 or 2 possession games

Young kids apparently don't know who Michael Jordan is per Roy Williams.

Yup. And then it should flip. Saturday's games will be far better than Sunday's. Even if not in score, definitely in intrigue.

That won't make @douggie or @redseat happy.

Figured he would be. Oregon is just to stinking fast.

 

[redseat]

game is over.. Duke was average all year, next year they will be pretty damn good especially if Allen stays

Yes they were and still made it to the Sweet 16! I'm ok with that!

Hats off to the Ducks now win it all!

And congrats to Duke. An NC followed up with a S16 with your best player not on the court. You guys got game.

and to Cuse

Thank you. Honestly I wasn't even expecting a Sweet 16 this year... I knew Duke's lack of depth would come to bite them...

Next year, WATCH OUT! lol

I have no idea why they keep going on about Oregon's depth hurting them. Oregon's 7th guy played 9 minutes, the 8th guy 3, for a total of 12. Duke's 7th guy played 11. That's a 1 minute difference in what the top 6 guys played. Anyone seriously think that's enough to decide a ballgame?

Other than minutes, the statistical difference among the 7th and 8th guys was 3 "rebounds" by Kendall Small, which involved scooping up blocked shots.

Duke got beat by a better team.

 

[HammerDown]

THIS is what Oregon fans are talking about? GTFO with that shit!

Small doesnt even play every game. Im surprised Benjamin only had 9 min. seems like he is out there longer. 19 min against st Joes, 19 against HC, 13 against Utah and 20 against Arizona. so 9 seems really low.

Big deal out of nothing! The tripping incidents yes that is not overplayed or stated but this certainly is

I only needed to see a hand shake line after a game once. And is why in hockey, we make the boys shake hands before the game. After the game....just take your asses to the lockers.

 

[The Derski]

That was a strangely aggressive hug attempt by Brookes though. You gotta admit that

"I just want to hug you man.. come on!"

Also - we don't know what Allen said to him there... We can't see his face. Just because he didn't hug him or shake his hand there doesn't mean he didn't congratulate him either.

 

[Hitman Hart]

Ingram is gone already. Coach K confirmed it. But Allen needs to stay IMHO. My selfish opinion too.

Ingram leaving MIGHT actually be a good thing. Word on the NC AAU circuit is that Giles HATES Ingram. You don't always like your teammates though, so it might have been a non-issue, especially when the coach is K. but yeah, Ingram is as good as gone. One of the NBA Mock draft sites, even has Ingram over Simmons at #1.

Have a question for everyone. I don't watch a whole lot of college basketball outside of the ACC, so would anyone say that Iowa State runs a similar offense as Butler or is it a different type of fast paced offense?
