Bill Murray's trademark deadpan look cracks me up.

Francesca podcast “Reed was the best player on the floor by far and that’s including Boozer.” Can’t disagree.

Reed was great but so was Boozer. But I think the only reason he is saying that is because Duke lost. Had Duke won the game, Boozer would have been the hero and Reed would have been forgotten. Right or wrong that's how it goes in sports.

Speaking of flags... we had a lot of wind around here in Feb/Mar, so my flag looks like it's been through Gettysburg. My birthday is this week and I asked for a new flag.

So the question is, do I keep the ratty old one flying, which is at this point an embarrassment to our relatively well-heeled neighbors, or do I switch it out to a beautiful new one in time for Friday's game?

Keep that bad boy flying. Put the new one up a week from tomorrow!

Don't you dare change it. Leave it alone at this point.

The neighbors can deal with it a few more days
 
i know he was the best duke player on the floor all game, but i've been a bit surprised that CAMERON Boozer hasn't come under some criticism.

he turned the ball over at 1:05, then goes under the tarris screen on the next sequence giving Alex the space to get off his three. He makes the driving basket on the next play (extremely close to traveling) but then fouls Demary on the play after that (was that intentional?). This doesn't even mention his foul on Solo's and 1, which wasn't totally his fault but still, if you're gonna foul you gotta make sure he doesn't complete the bucket.

of course, overall, he was a beast and the reason duke was up by 19 to begin with. I just find it interesting that he has not come in for second guessing at all. three plays there were incredibly important down the stretch.

You shouldn’t change your underwear, much less that flag.

in draft circles he's been criticized for lack of lift causing him to be easily disrupted by late help. the turnovers and getting blocked etc are part of this. it's not a new criticism though and it's the main reason why he has a perceived lower ceiling as an offensive hub compared to other top pick contenders.
 
After watching the final 10 seconds over 100 times from all different angles, I never saw, until this morning, Hurley get in the refs face after the Mullins shot and just mean mug him. Wasnt on the CBS broadcast, but oh my god, the balls on this guy! I love it! People are saying that was an ACC ref too ?? 😂😂😂 Insane. I love our coach. He knew the ref wouldnt T him up in that moment so he gave him the business.

I’ll say something about the game tomorrow. Still too high and shocked. But very quickly:

1, That extends our winning streak in NCAA tourney games from the sweet 16 forward to an unbelievable 18 straight. Last loss being in the ‘09 Final Four to Michigan State.

2. That extends our winning streak in regionals (rounds 3 and 4) to 14 straight. We have won 7 straight regionals we have made with the last loss going back to ‘06.

Those two numbers are not impressive, they are closer to statistically impossible.

3. To get out of the East Region this year, we only had to beat UCLA, the team with the most national championships ever, Duke, the only team to compete with us for championships over the last 35 years and the team that has dominated that period in terms of Final Fours and Sweet Sixteens, and Michigan State, maybe the most consistently good but not

great program in the last 25 years as well as the last team to beat us past the first two rounds.

What this program has accomplished out of nowhere for the last 36 years is truly remarkable.

Yep, love it! But I would say it's more like 40 years with that first NIT run. That was big back in the day.

If you really want to enjoy your day read our opponents message boards.
Providence: They hate us but like the money UConn is getting them
Syracuse: They hate us but respect what UConn is doing.
North Carolina: It's like Christmas Day for them. They hate us, but hate Duke way more.

Lots of laughs.

Ya know, it's really all the hate that makes this so much fun.

He's getting overshadowed because of the "shot". He is the only reason we didn't lose that game by double digits. He played so well, I'd call it Kemba level tourney impact. Easily the best of any UConn big in a tourney, move aside Emeka.

Was the difference in the game - I think we had like 13 points off TO's.
