Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

Love the start of Houston v Dook. Scheyer may dislocate his whole mouth during this game.

Flip is so overrated. Just got cooked on 3 straight possessions.

Houston punching Duke in the mouth right out of the gate. Hate to see it.

I mean, the guy is averaging 6.5/3.7/2.5 on 37% shooting (32% from 3). Seems a little out of proportion, no?

He’s a good player and in the regular rotation, so they will have to compensate. Not earth-shattering, but notable.

Scheyer is the jimbo of college basketball

 

[Bomber36]

Duke hasn’t taken a shot yet. 3 possession, 3 turnovers. check that…one shot.

Duke about to find out what it's like to play a big boy basketball team

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Duke’s bigs are WAY too soft for this game.

2.5 mins in and I do not know how Filipowski and his fragile body will leave this building alive.

 

[Karmacop]

People here aren’t actually rooting for Duke, are they? I want the Cougars to stomp those weak losers.

That was 2 on Flip very clearly

Duck fuke.

Houston look like men among boys here against Duke. I don't see this staying competitive.

More turnovers than FGA at the under 16

So blatant. Refs lack the courage to call a second on him before the first TV timeout.

 

[Bazz2014]

That cut to scheyer nodding like a bobble head before the TO is gold. He looks TERRIFIED.

 

[uconn_jack]

I know they had trouble with TX A&M, but Houston is still the team that scares me the most. I think they are the most capable of taking us out of our game.

 

[Ripper32]

Duke needs to attack the rim like A&M. Can't get bogged down on the p perimeter.

 

[JCisthegoat]

2.5 mins in and I do not know how Filipowski and his fragile body will leave this building alive.

7 feet and offers 0 rim protection

 

[Bomber36]

Duke righting the ship a bit.

 

[Ripper32]

Houston gets away with a lot off ball. I would not mind seeing duke beat them.

 

[Jorgensen]

Duke strategy is injure every cougar - Shead, Roberts, Cryer all taking shots already

 

[tuvent08]

Houston throws up some bricks.

 

[Ripper32]

We are going to see how quickly the young duke guards adjust to this chaos.

Glad Marquette is out. Not sure I wanted to have to beat them a 4th time. I want Creighton out ASAP. Yes it took a crazy shooting night from them to beat us but the fact they’ve done it gives them extra confidence and theirs familiarity. We already beat them. No need to do it again!

Might be crazy talk but I’d really rather just take our chances against anyone else

I don’t think it’s crazy talk, I entirely agree. Familiarity gives them an advantage over schools who haven’t experienced us.
