Epic choke job by Duke. Ironically, it was the more experienced players on Duke that failed them. Flagg was phenomenal.
 
All the whiny b**ches complaining about the lack of Cinderellas, should probably shut their dumb f’n mouths after these 2 games.

I didn’t care about which teams were winning. I was just disappointed at how many games during this tourney simply were not competitive. The two games last night obviously were, which made for some entertaining basketball. More of what we usually see in the tourney. Now if Houston and Florida can cap it off with a tight game many people will remember this as a great tourney.

I think Auburn & Duke win tonight. Feels like Auburn & Florida have swapped places from a few weeks ago, where Auburn is playing at a high level and Florida is struggling. I think Houston gives Duke a game but Duke does enough to pull away late.

Ooops.

LOL. Why does this upset you so much? Also. they were all 1 seeds. These were not big upsets. So illogical.

Of course he’s right in theory. If I could have a starting five of 6’10 highly skilled players who could handle, shoot, rebound and play good D I would take it. It’s hard to assemble that in reality, though. By the way, he also said Florida wasn’t athletic enough to go deep in the tourney and that Michigan wasn’t good enough to win tourney games. I do agree with him about Diebler, though, but time will tell.

I admitted I was wrong on Florida (hadn’t watched them enough) but I wasn’t wrong on Michigan. Their second half collapse against Auburn was everything I feared would happen.

Lastly anyone that actually thinks Houston is a better team than Duke is crazy. Duke beats them 8/10 times but thankfully one of those times was last night and 3/4 final 4 teams had size and length at every position.

Houston is very well coached, something I also said teams need and nobody ever points that part out

Houston is relentless on defense and hitting the boards on both ends. Not many coaches can sell kids on that these days. Sampson and Izzo are able to get that out of their players.

Sampson yes, Izzo has been a fraud since 2020. That dude just needs to retire and is a part of that Big Ten cesspool of bad to underachieving coaches. He gets by on having success in a bad Big Ten now.

Something like 45 of their 67 points were from the Freshmen Phenoms. Pretty embarrassing game by the rest of the Dukies.
 
More times than not, those blue chippers win even at an early stage. And those Houston veteran players mayb not be tall but they are not exactly skinny so yeah, stronger AND smarter. They've also been together longer. Cryer for a new transfer has done an amazing job. Though the contest would be tight, he might be my pick over Clayton.

I now consider Purdue to be in the Final Three. :D
 
This meme is everywhere, but it’s so good

He’s under 6’3”. I asked you a couple of weeks ago if you’d recruit Clayton and you said no.

If I said that I officially have changed my mind now. Also, he’s listed at 6’3 which officially doesn’t make him under 6’3 so he doesn’t fall into those small guards I complain about. LJ Cryer definitely does and he’s the exception not the rule.

You’re smart enough to know college programs add an inch or two to the players height. He’s closer to 6’1” than he is 6’3”.

Some do and some don’t. For instance Keita Bates Diop at Ohio State was listed at 6’7 which didn’t make any sense to me because anyone watching could tell he was taller than Marc Loving who was listed at the same height and KBD is universally listed at 6’8 now.

Clayton looks to me like a legit 6’3 and the SEC network people last night were trying to say he was 6’4
