Zion hooked him whats he supposed to do lol.

 

[Jay-Bone]

Zion throwing his arms around, foul on VT. Same old.

 

[Scoe]

Such a beast.

 

[Tommyboy]

Zion gets away with a ton.

My god, Duke gets treated so differently than everyone else.

Are coaches allowed to touch players on the floor? Squid just physically pushed one of his guys into the corner he wanted him to go in to.

 

[Scoe]

Vtech gotta do it here like now now or never.

You know the tournament is already predetermined for Duke right?

The UNC game does not surprise me. Roy is the most overrated coach. I will believe that if he wins 10 championships. He has 1 speed. Outscore the opponent and play fast. Defense and and adjustments are optional.

(Not including this year) Roy has the best performance against both his seed and KenPom rank in tournaments cumulative since 2000.
Tourney Stats, PASE (Performance Against Seed Expectations) and PAKE

He made 18 tournaments in 19 years and didn't lose a single time in the 1st round. No Coach K or Bill Self upset specials. He was also 10-2 in the Sweet 16 round (before tonight), 7-3 in the Elite 8, and 5-2 in the F4.

Dirty little secret: when you have more talent than the other team, evidence suggests it's better to play fast. More possessions, less vulnerable to upsets.

Zion Williamson would foul out of every game if he was at Uconn.

 

[Scoe]

Call TO

Dosn't VA Tech have like double the FTA?

 

[Scoe]

Should have called a TO to begin with but better late then never.

It was in '99, too.

 

[Robertelamin]

Please make this happen.

 

[auror]

Thought that 3 was in.

 

[storrsroars]

Houston hanging in and IMO should be ahead, but are missing too many open looks from deep. Solid D all around.

 

[Scoe]

Yeah notice at the end Langdon belly flop once he lost the ball and then looking to the side at the ref expecting to get a call.

 

[Jay-Bone]

How many terrible 3 looks will they take?

 

[BugsyCT]

Houston's right in this one.

 

[Robertelamin]

How did he miss that?

 

[BugsyCT]

Scalitoing Dook luck.

2 straight games? For real?

 

[Scoe]

You gotta love your chances if your MSU you got the first game in and more time to prepare, Duke has been playing with fire this whole tournament, you gotta think eventually it catches up to them.

 

[Mano]

How do you bungle that???

 

[Jay-Bone]

Watch his face as he totally thought he had that made. TFF
