March Madness Round 1 Thread

Nope - already seeing that as much as we want the cinderellas, they aren't playing out. I expect a lot of that. We're all hardwired to the upset desire and first round chaos as part of the charm of the tourney. Not going to happen as much as we hope or think. Expecting this tourney to look like last year, 10% more upsets given it's not quite as top heavy.

Comment on Twitter about the crowd in Greenville being very anti Duke. The Committee really screwed them in a way. High Point is even closer and they put UNC there too. Fair to say a lot of anti-Duke folks in that crowd.

Oh no so sad
 
Duke looks nervous

No clue all season how Khamenia was a 5 star recruit

Missed wide open dunk by Siena 7 footer which would've put them up 15. Mark it down.

Asterisk that sequence right there. Siena misses 2 dunks, Duke flushes one at the other end.

Feels like that's gonna be the high water mark and the end of the fun. Big momentum swing.

Looked like Boozer whacked the Siena guy on the arm on the second attempt.

If the crowd being against you makes you lose to a 16 seed you really stink

Duke picked the site as the overall 1 seed.

Well this is a game I didn't originally think I had to watch. Although maybe I shouldn't, I'm sure the moment I turn it on Duke will go on a 20 point run

I feel like I am Duke's good luck boost unfortunately. They are playing better since I started watching and Siena blew 2 dunks, too
 
I don’t see Duke losing this game. Officials will be WWE level for Duke

Duke by 15

Of course. But they didn't pick an even more local team as their #16 seed, or their most hated rival as another Pod team there.

They're obviously not going to lose but it would have been fun to see Siena keep some pressure on them deep into the second half. That sequence with the two missed dunks can't happen.

Welp, called that. Siena has turned back into a pumpkin.

The missed dunk to put em up 15 and then the three that bounced around and and off the rim sealed their fate. A chance to put a whole lot of game pressure on Duke and they missed it.

Apparently the demise of the mid major in NIL era was over exaggerated. Miami of Ohio and High Point, Wow!

someone let Ruff Ruff know.....or maybe (hopefully) he's already gone into hiding
