Root for losses tonight by Kansas (@ Hou) & UCLA (@ NW)....both are 7/8 line type teams we may need to pass for a 7 seed hope.

Can’t think of two teams that are further opposite in terms of toughness level than Kansas and Houston. Dickinson might get knocked down without even having to flop tonight.

Duke is really, really good. But they haven't played a really good team (top 4 seed) in months. Sometimes it doesnt matter. Other times it does.

They are going to be in a close game in March, and we will see how they will react.

You kind of stole my whole post - came here to say how dang good they are, despite not playing anyone.

But man, Flagg is insane. And the team around him is perfectly built this year. Not a bunch of 5* out of place talent.
 
Also, I knew I would like him, but I like Cooper Flagg way more than I am comfortable with.

My 6 year old, who is getting into ball and we rock hard with Liam and Castle, said today "does Duke play tonight? Will we win?" And for that I had to remove my jaw from the floor, gather my thoughts and remind him of what house he was in. Flagg fandom is fine, Duke fandom will be tough to handle.

Of course, they come from 7 down to take a lead.
 
Clemson loss may have been just what Duke needed as last 6 games margin of victory is 37ppg. That is insane even against a down ACC. It also included a B10 team that just crushed Michigan away. Anyone wishing for them is beer muscles.
 
And Kansas goes limp...

How does Houston take 26 more shots than Kansas (foul shots about even)? Some serious offensive rebounding and turnovers. To beat Houston need some finishers and guys strong with the ball.
 
I have been thinking is a few weeks now but if we are on the 8/9 line it wouldn’t surprise me if the committee puts us in the same region as Duke.

Hey now don’t go soft he puts on that uniform he is no good. I don’t know when your Duke hate started but if you’re old enough to have seen grant hill in that uniform and dislike him then cooper Flagg is no different.

You gotta get that outta your son now. We aren’t on the Carolina level of dislike but a tier below.

Watched this game down the stretch - lord was Dickinson bad. He threw a ball away at mid court, down 3, where a Houston player had a breakaway dunk and just stared at him. He then allowed an easy offensive rebound put back, and a had an offensive foul. Hunter is one of those players that puts on the illusion of being a productive player because of offensive skill at his size, but is so stiff and immobile he’s a massive liability in many other ways. Kansas is hexxed with him on the roster, they’ll be better after he graduates.

that Dickinson turnover changed the momentum of the game IMO. It was like a pick-six as the announcer suggested. I believe he also fumbled the ball out of bounds down the stretch.
 
Houston does not have the explosiveness on offense when they had a series of really great pairs of guards, but they know how to hit the boards and make a bunch of midrange shots. They are a well-coached team all around. Nobody wants to play them in the NCAA tournament. I would love to see them kick Puke all the way back to Durham.

He was simply awful - looked exhausted. The throw away almost looked intentional it was so bad, and yeah it went from cutting the lead to 1 or 0, to a 5 point deficit with 3 minutes to play on the road. Huge swing.

Dajuan Harris is not a good basketball player. I made this assesssment earlier in year and had some defending him. I know that Kansas fans feel similar. He is as soft as it gets, put him under any physical duress and he backs down.

They will find extra shots through O rebounds and turnovers, like StJ, but as long as you play sound hoops you can neutralize them pretty easily. StJ is so much longer and athletic.

I think Duke would romp them. Houston is tiny and Duke is massive. Maybe Dukes lack of a PG could become problematic, but I see their size stifling Houston’s little guards.

I could actually see Houston getting knocked out early. They grind out a lot of wins against good teams. I don’t find them overly talented. Sampson is definitely getting the most out of this team. The B12 is really down this year as whole.

I understand your point but Houston would punk Duke
