It should...Will see

Brand name could prevail but they’d have to put a lot of lipstick on that pig

I didn't know Duke was up 24.

Big leads aren't immune.

They suck just like us

 

[simply1]

Duke refs were going to call something on that free throw no matter what. They were probably looking at the lane like this ready to blow the whistle:

wtf dude, that was blatant

 

[Erik4Cy]

Although no guarantee UNC wins without the violation, it might have, indirectly, gifted Texas an at-large slot.

IMO - The only logical solution is to keep both UNC & Texas out

 

[ca4cy]

Feel pretty bad for that kid

Agreed. The keyboard warriors are not likely to be kind. To hell with UNC but I never like it when a loss can get hung on one kid no matter who they play for.

And if this is the reason Texas gets in then it really sucks.

Let me have my fun.

You had to call that, Duke gets whistles, but that was is akin to guy jumping offside unabated to QB.

'I don't watch much basketball outside of ISU but ISU has to lead the country in blown first half double digit leads!'

Lunardi has both UNC and Texas in.

Maybe can get a look too.

It's nice seeing BYU get destroyed

3 airball 3's for BUY LOL LOL LOL

I mostly wish ISU had TL and KG yesterday for their perimeter defense. BYU wasnt going 18/36 from 3 if that’s the case.

 

[FerShizzle]

This is what I was saying BYU could get bounced in the second round if they shoot 6/29

They wont won’t play a Defense as good as Houston’s until the 2nd weekend at the earliest?

They'll still need to be able to hit and they seem to get frazzled if just a bit uncomfortable. ISU shorthanded had them sped up a bit yesterday until they got tired.

I think they can win a game or two but if they get jumped on they're vulnerable.

Clemson looks just like last year. Nothing flashy or all that interesting but just really solid on both ends.

My dark horse final four

Toppin left the game to take a ****

I’m honestly surprised this doesn’t happen more. Nature waits for no man

 

[CoachHines3]

Didn’t realize McMillan and Williams were out for tech

 

[cyclones500]

The thing with North Carolina … this loss makes the Quad 1 record 1-12. Other quad stuff is OK. At some point, you have to win at least a few more of those opportunities.

It’s relative to current bubble situation, not an absolute. But how many teams could win only 7% of their Q1 games and be anywhere close to a bid?

It seems like “how to lose your way into the tournament.”

 

[madguy30]

I think AZ is good but I still don't trust them next week.
