[Deathofthebambino]

Jesus, if Gillespie hurt that knee again, Nova is done.

 

[Ale Xander]

Go Arkansas rest of the way (unless they play UNC in the FF)

 

[shawnrbu]

Gillespie favoring his bad leg.

 

[wibi]

Go Arkansas rest of the way (unless they play UNC in the FF)

Im now all about the chaos.

Can confirm: Since 2001, Gonzaga's NCAA wins were over teams seeded: 5, 13, 8, 15, 14, 14, 6, 13, 12, 9, 6, 10, 16, 9, 15, 7, 11, 6, 3, 16, 8, 4, 11, 7, 13, 5, 16, 9, 4, 16, 8, 5, 6, 11, 16, 9. Gonzaga's record vs. teams seeded 1, 2, or 3 since 2001: 1 win, 12 losses.

 

[Ale Xander]

Honestly they need to move to the PAC-12 to get more tested.

 

[tims4wins]

It's like a Swiss timepiece when they're in the West

Duke has never won a S16 game or beyond in the west.

 

[wibi]

Need a football team and a research function to get in. We were in Utah when the Utes got in and BYU fans were furious until it was pointed out every school in the 12 has a research function.
Perfect world with no jet lag puts them in the big east

Sorry confused them with Uconn I think.

Once again Gonzaga loses to a more athletic team

And better coached.

Yep...Few is a good coach, but against the tougher, more physical programs in tournament play - he underwhelms.

So, how does that make him a good coach?

 

[PC Drunken Friar]

Congrats Arkansas. I'm a Razorback fan in the next round regardless who they play.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

All are welcome on the Muss Bus.

 

[JoePoulson]

Cool stat for the Hogs:

Also first time Arkansas has ever beaten a #1 seed in the tourney, which is fairly crazy to me.

 

[canderson]

Duke is losing a track meet currently.

 

[reggiecleveland]

Nice transition D Duke

 

[JoePoulson]

Damn dunk city so far

 

[loshjott]

Duke TT is really fun to watch.

 

[canderson]

Arizona is e extremely unlikeable.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Arizona is e extremely unlikeable.

Really? Why do you say that?

 

[jmcc5400]

Duke TT is really fun to watch.

Feels like the momentum shifted Dukeward in last 30 seconds of the half. We’ll see.

 

[canderson]

Really? Why do you say that?

I’m not sure actually - they just seem like a team of guys who complain, play rough, and expect to be treated like gods. Probably in my head.

 

[canderson]

Tech has no idea what to do against the zone. They look helpless.

I miss Tommy Lloyd

 

[chilidawg]

i'd never heard of Bryson Williams, but he's a good player.

 

[Ale Xander]

Let’s go Raidahs

 

[chilidawg]

Duke TT is a great game, both teams stepping up big.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I was definitely wrong about Houston yet again. They're legit.

 

[Greg29fan]

looks like Duke's winning the whole thing

 

[ifmanis5]

Damn, slipping away.

 

[Ale Xander]

Ballgame

 

[Ale Xander]

Let’s go Hogs

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

Tech running out of gas. But why wait so long for the foul?!

 

[canderson]

Tech couldn’t solve the defense and then Duke got red hot shooting to seal this win. Oh well.

 

[ifmanis5]

Refs helped out Duke there.

 

[Ale Xander]

Too little too late

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

Adonis Arms looks like someone puked on his head

 

[shawnrbu]

How does Duke not foul up 5 with a foul to give?

 

[canderson]

What Houston is doing without its two best players is wild. Turning the screws against Arizona.

 

[Greg29fan]

Adonis Arms looks like someone puked on his head

great 80s WWF name

 

[Ale Xander]

 

[azsoxpatsfan]

great 80s WWF name

Great name in any circumstance

 

[shawnrbu]

The Dukies are going to be cutting down the nets in 10 days.

 

[canderson]

Turn out the lights on the 2nd #1 seed tonight. Houston manhandled Arizona’s offense.

 

[ifmanis5]

Daggah for Houston.
Shame about Duke. We'll just have to settle for two #1 seeds losing tonight.
