Saturday 2nd round thread

[BGesus4]

Does anyone remember Steratore as an NCAA bball ref? For the life of me, I can only l remember him in the nfl

 

[J187Money]

Don't worry - I bet on Duke so we are in pretty good shape for them to lose

 

[BugsyCT]

Someone's in trouble.

Lol me too. I considered it hedging my happiness.

I was originally on duke and then livebet on Tenn early. Going the other way. You could tell it was going to be hell for them 5 minutes in.

 

[Hey Adrien!]

Say what you want about Rick Barnes, but I've really enjoyed each of his teams since the Williams/Scofield/Bone years. Probably one of, if not my favorite high-major non-Big East team for the last five-ish years.

Even though Zeigler was their defensive star, I argue they play better team defense without him. Everyone defends well and is at least 6'3.

I'm a big Tyreke Key fan. First watched him in Arch Madness a few years ago and I remember pining for him last portal season. Fire hydrant of a guard.

I don’t hate Duke nearly as much as I used to because A) Scheyer is not as hateable as Coach Ratface,

Is it just me, or does Scheyer look a lot like the crying duke kid fan from 99? They could brothers.

 

[jibsey]

I don’t hate Duke nearly as much as I used to because A) Scheyer is not as hateable as Coach Ratface, and B) Duke is just another team now. They are above average, that’s it.

They are not “another team”. Look up the McD’s and number rankings of their roster. We have no one near as high as about 6 of their roster. Their backups are McD’s. They are playing a bunch of freshman, next year they’ll be dominant again. I dislike them, their fan base is entitled and so should you.

 

[superjohn]

It seemed like everyone was on Duke, cakewalk to the Final 4. They haven't played anyone since the beginning of the season and Jon Scheyer isn't K.

 

[Edward Sargent]

I’m tired of hearing how physical this game is. All of our Big East games are more physical and it isn’t even what we want

You think this is bad I was driving and listening to Furma SDST and you would think the Aztecs were the most physical team to ever play ball

Same

 

[Kathy]

He's the best at flopping that Duke has ever had and that says quite a bit

That does say a ton!

 

[firstnline]

What an absolute pleasure it is to see Dook go down.

 

[B1GEast]

Not the same dook without coach K. Scheyer doesn't get the calls that they used to get.

I imagine that their recruiting will eventually drop off.

Too bad, so sad. Not

 

[BugsyCT]

Always a pleasure to see the Dookies get ousted, K or no K.

 

[UCTitleTown]

If UConn doesn't win, I want anyone but Duke, Kansas or Kentucky to win it. One down, two to go.

 

[Hurleyman216]

Again, Tennessee was drastically underseeded just like us. We should have both been 2 seeds, Duke was a borderline 5 seed at best. Kinda pissed because that East bracket has blown up with Purdue losing and we should have had that 4 seed instead of Tenn. Oh well, we’ve done well in the West before and can do it again.

 

[kobe]

duke sucks. all those 5 stars and no game changing talent.

it turns out running through a bad acc tournament doesn't mean jack

 

[J187Money]

Lol me too. I considered it hedging my happiness.

I always do it - bet on a team I hate in a close game. Happy if I lose a little cash, if they win at least I profit

 

[BugsyCT]

ACC teams still left in the Dance:

Miami & Pitt

2nd round exit is a great year for a program like Duke is now.

 

[Jay-Bone]

I sorta like Arkansas, but Nick Smith takes bad shots. Arkansas is prone to mistakes.

They haven't been the same since Brazile went down.

 

[kobe]

i mean there's no rounds after the 2nd correct? don't remember any games occurring after.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Jayhawks starting with a lot more effort and intensity than they had Thursday. Great on the boards. They can play good D.
