i aways feel better if we lose to the team that eventually wins it all. At least we can have claims to being #2.

Nah that was nuts from Clayton

That 3 he hit where he dribbled from the middle of the paint out to the 3 pt line and shot it was what you see in the driveway or the courts in a park, not in organized basketball.

Steph Curry is the only other player I've seen attempt that shot in organized play, let alone make it

That was ridiculous. No wonder that kid is first team All-American. Makes some incredible 3s.

Big 12 presidents wake the hell up.

Honestly, I’m rooting for an all SEC final 4 at this point. It might be the one thing that could get UConn into the Big 12 or Big 10.

Y'know, Hurley's sidelines antics are crucified, and he's on the short end of the whistles game after game

Golden is winning the whistles by huge margins, including another bogus foul on three for Clayton, and he's screaming about every whistle. Even a legitimate over the back called on Florida

I'll never get the double standard, although I suppose winning breeds hatred

Agree. Love how quickly that “best basketball conference in the country” narrative sailed away

Traitor!

 

[huskyjawz]

They made 4 3's in a row at the end of the game. It takes us 16 shots to make that many.

He's awesome, but they won bc when he was double teamed, the other guy hit 2 3s in a row

 

[Scoe]

So how many 3s does Bama need to hit tonight,

 

[storrsroars]

So how many 3s does Bama need to hit tonight,

20, but also need to keep Nelson out of early foul trouble.

 

[SL Husky]

Florida, benefitting from FT misses since 1994.

 

[Scoe]

Alabama ends Duke tonight

You just ended Bama with that quote.

 

[JCisthegoat]

Kneupel reminds me of Spencer and I hate it so much

 

[Scoe]

This one is over.

 

[Hurleyman216]

This one is over.

No it isnt

 

[storrsroars]

Duke is not defending the perimeter well. If Bama gets hot out there, this could get interesting.

 

[Scoe]

No it isnt

Bama doesn’t play defense I’m not gonna get teased

 

[caw]

Bama doesn’t play defense I’m not gonna get teased

Agree, but Bama is in any game with the way their offense is.

 

[superjohn]

This is Bama's pace

 

[Vowelguy]

Figures that Bama would go cold from 3 tonight

 

[Scoe]

Duke is getting stops, sure Bama will catch fire but it’s gonna be too late sure they might cut into the deficit some but big deal.

 

[aceboon]

Duke has Sears in Rikers

 

[Scoe]

Boom just like that double digits again

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Wish Liam played like Kneuppel

 

[superjohn]

Duke has Sears in Rikers

That was my fear going in. Bama also plays no D. This looks like a mismatch. Can't see anyone beating Duke, they're playing their best ball of the season.

 

[Scoe]

I’m rooting for Bama to beat Duke but I don’t want them to win it all, there really aren’t any great choices.

 

[JCisthegoat]

Starting to think Clayton is the only one that can take this behemoth down.

Or maybe Uconn is the only ones that can beat Duke when they are great

 

[Scoe]

Auburn and Houston have the defense but not the offense of Bama.
