12-0 in games played in Greensboro.....how the hell have they played even close to that many games in Greensboro? And I'm sure a truckload in Charlotte too. What a joke

Looks like that record is in some jeopardy Lehigh is not backing down at all

Nah, but seeing them lose would be welcomed. I was just thinking that as disappointing as it is to lose in the first round we did lose as a 9 to an 8 seed, not to mention didn't play with much cohesiveness throughout much of the season. How would you like to be a Mizzu fan and watch your #2 seed play a great offensive game and end up losing to a 15 seed?

With moderate expectations, last nights loss didn't really sting all that much. But imagine the pain for the fan base of Missouri or Dook, if they were to lose tonight to much lower seeds.

are the officials overly concerned about the lehigh players bullying the dukies? that's the third time the officials have run over like a fight was going to break out because there was minimal contact or a bit of jawing

Duke has honored program status so of course that comes with the officials protection.

I made the mistake of forgetting that Haith coaches Missouri now....had them in the finals in all of my pools. But yes, they have to be crushed...I honestly thought they were the best "team" in the country this year.

And after all, we DID win it all out of nowhere last year, so there's a grace period (although this team was very difficult to watch all season)

agreed...100%

Syracuse doesn't usually bother me, but this year they do for some reason

are the reasons the scandals, cover ups, lack of likability and smugness of a rival fan base whose leaving the Big East, or am I the only one who that bothers ;)

Considering my initial "teams you want to lose list" was Kentucky, Duke and Mizzou, it would feel pretty good. As long as KU wins later.

I know Dook is in tons of foul trouble, but they're getting their usual dose of WTF calls. Expect some key call to go their way if it's close in the last 2 minutes.

Loving the energy Lehigh's been playing with - taking it right to the Dookies in their backyard. Hope they pull this off.

They're two different things. This would be enjoyable on its own. Why is Lehigh not driving more?

Duke is not going to lose. There is no way that Lehigh ls prepared for three minutes of pressure in the ncaa's against Duke. They will choke. And yes I am saying this so I can be wrong
