Not a game question but seriously ....anyone know why two top 5 players in the country are committed to Rutgers? Are they getting NIL partnerships with Sopranos Bada Bing and chicken market?

A lot of coaches have dialed back their high school recruiting in favor of the transfer portal, so it is not like getting 2 of the top 5 10 years ago.

Unreal they gave a second foul to the James Madison guy right away. He got fouled by Filipowski twice there.

He’s gone over the back like half a dozen times with no call. I hate this school.
 
Ok James Madison you either lay down and make sure this ends at 715 or you start getting serious now and beat Duke.
 
one of the most boring tournament in recorded human history. oakland saved it from being the absolute worst

That’s what I meant he’s a 4 playing 5 position. So the point I’m trying to make is if you go double bigs Clingan guards Edey obviously and Sampson would shadow getting into his passing lanes and cut off his vision. Offensively you have Clingan play the top of the key drawing Edey out of the paint and Johnson stays in paint for alley ooops.

Again not ideal but on the table. I’m not so hung ho on double bigs like others here but I’m no so quick with this new age think of double bigs not working.

You can do the same thing with Karaban. Unless the center foul are lopsided, Edey shouldn't be a major factor in the game even if he gets a double double on a lower shooting percentage. Our guards are way better. If Edey gets free reign against Johnson and Karaban with Clingan in foul trouble, that is where the problems would begin.
 
Another mid-major playing down to their seed. The offense by Utah State in the last game was putrid... and the same from James Madison in this game. And then their defense quickly follows suit.

Maybe, just maybe... cover McCain at the 3-point line? MAYBE? WHATTAYA THINK????

Letting the guy go 5 for 5 from 3 and be open again and again is just a donkey poop job of playing defense. I thought they were a good defensive team after watching them Friday night against Wisconsin... but no, that was more about Wisconsin not being good than JMU being anything special.

Very disappointing.

Especially all the Big 12 losses. I’ve lost count by now there have been so many
 
Nice stroll in the lane by Filipowski on that last hoop. 3 blind mice reffing.
 
That’s at least 2 calls where the refs waited to see if the shot went in before calling foul on Duke. What a joke
 
Have to give Duke credit - excellent game plan, and they are taking full advantage of their size and 3-point shooting ability. Meanwhile, James Madison has seen Plan A go out the window, and they obviously forgot to put together any sort of Plan B.

Another crap fest for the entire 2nd half looks like what we are in for. Horrifically bad on both ends of the court. JMU is just hoisting up shots and running iso offense which of course is not working against Duke. Even when they get to the free throw line they are only hitting one of two every time. And then on D they have breakdown after breakdown, leaving guys open time and time again, leading to open 3's, lay ups and dunks.

Frustrating to watch... particularly since CBS is forcing us to watch this game after the last one with no alternatives for either one. At least with the last game I could turn on the Pittsburgh Penguins - Colorado Avalanche 3rd period and overtime. WAY more entertaining then this dreck.

Give 'em the double barrel birds! Screw you and your crap scheduling CBS!!!

Sure, but Duke is simply out playing JMU. JMU is playing low basketball IQ sloppy ball. Duke is getting open shots while almost everything JMU is shooting is contested.
 
JMU is getting a taste of the pressure that you must overcome to make the sweet 16.

Exactly it ain't the officiating. Duke is getting open 3s from the beginning but going to Filipowski and passing out of the double team.
