Karaban take a bow. Reed take a bow.

We don’t win that game without Solo.

Fears is a nut kicking turd who can’t shoot. No one does less with more than Izzo.

Playing with house money now. Beat duke
 
There’s no way MSU went 10 minutes into the second half without calling a foul. And the phantom call on Reed at the end of the game was ridiculous. Especially after being assured by so many people refs never call a foul in that situation.

I just hope it’s called fairly. I was thinking that if Boozer put up 31 and 27 it would be all anyone talked about. Reed is an absolute beast this tournament and is unfairly overlooked by national media.

Boozer is very good but my concern is Ngongba. I can't see Karaban being able to defend either of them, but then again, I am not sure how well they can chase him around either. Boozer isn't the greatest defender on the perimeter.

If Boozer is on Reed (and Ngongba out), I would love to feed Reed but Dukes perimeter length will make entry passes tough and Brown is a excellent defender, especially a help defender.

Evans needs to have someone glued to his hip - he is a flamethrower.
 
I think we should also point out that Solo played some solid defense tonight. We all know that defense is not his forte but he did make several defensive plays tonight getting out on shooters to contest what would have otherwise been wide open looks.
 
Should I have been a much bigger win, but at this stage a win is a win is a win , and any win is cherished. I loved how the D shut down a team that had rocked earlier opponents.
Shut down Duke and the path is clear.

Sarr & Brown are both phenomenal defenders.

This is going to be a tough, tough matchup. We are going to have to run our actions, pull Boozer away from the basket, isolate Tarris on PN (he loves to foul) and we'll have to be hot from the outside. We aren't going to score much inside.

Defensively, not sure how we stop Boozer. We have no one that pairs up well with him. We're going to need a lot of Ross on Evans, and use one of the other guys on the floor to help double Boozer. We cannot let Evan's t off like he did against StJ.

House money.
 
We needed the cushion we created with high percentage threes. 9 points in that run were from 2 guys, one guy who has been cold and one guy who just made it back. We started unconsciously hot and needed that.

Thank God! Better than starting slow! !

We’re going to the Final 4.

Tough to get strength back quick in that ankle. They have done a great job to have Silas as ready as he is. Nice job Malachi!

I heard you on that, but im wondering how sore Foster's foot is going to be the next couple days.

He was really good the first sub in. The second sub in we really stalled on offense, too much pounding the basketball.

He was better than Silas, but I felt overall he was mediocre.

They need to defend AK! In our offense that's a load! We made MS change their game plan right after the first AK three!
