Official ncaa tournament day 2 thread

I’m with bleed as I would rather have Duke face Oregon because Oregon hasn’t played Duke this season

Newark will have A Pro Duke Crowd in contrast to Arizona/Oregon/BYU/Alabama

Just watched a CBSHQ show where they claimed Proctor was just a role player. These people don't even watch the games they report on.

So it’s Arizona. Wish it wasn’t them but we’re definitely going to have the advantage. It’s 1:30 am in New Jersey
And we’re playing thursday

Our guys are tucked in their beds and Arizona still has to do interviews, fly home and all that good stuff 😌

The Duke Coaching Staff will have the right game plan to shut down Love. Proctor, James, Foster, and Knueppel will make Love work on both ends of the court.

Proctor is 3-1 in his head to head matchups against Love

How is it 130 in Jersey? I'm in Maryland and it's 1230 lol
 
All good..I'm just messing with you. Can't be too long
Thanks for the correction though. I’m mountain time zone so I was adding the 3 hours to my time by mistake 😅 I’m excited though. Caleb love can go off, but let’s see how he does with proctor, James and Gillis rotating off of him. 40 min of hell 😎

I wanted Oregon to win last night, hard to beat a team twice. Arizona appears to be one of the few teams that can match up size wise and athletically.

Watched all 40 minutes of the game last night, and Arizona ran 1 play: high ball screen for Love (or Bradley) and play off of that. This would be a game that would be excellent to have Maliq back for, he was built to defend that action.
 
Anybody have any intel on Maliq for Thursday? I agree he would be a major impact player for sure against Arizona.
 
While I'm glad that Florida will have a tougher opponent on paper in the Sweet 16, I'm not sure when the three-step rule came into play in the sport, I thought it was two steps and a leap basically?

After all those years that Maryland fans (led by their Coach GW) carried on their "can't get a fair shake/world is against us" drumbeat of whimpering, and ultimately left the ACC, I sure hope they bookmarked yesterday into the "got away with one" column.

Time to send another former ACC player into College Basketball retirement on Thursday up in Newark. :)

Read that the ncaa is investigating the incident with UConn’s AD threatening the reporter who posted the video of Hurley saying to the Baylor coaches after UConn’s loss yesterday “I hope they don’t screw you like they screwed us”

I get it, Dan Hurley is a passionate coach, very Connecticut-like in his behavior. He is not my kind of person, and IMHO he goes way over the top with his interactions and comments with fans and the media. Just my thoughts, but if somehow he had come in to replace K at Duke, I would likely stop being a Duke fan. He's got back to back championships which is darn impressive, but to me, he's a petulant, spoiled, entitled man who acts like a 12 year old and thinks his droppings smell like roses. It's a bad look for NCAAB and a terrible look for UConn.

Where's Jim Calhoun when you need him???
 
I think we all wanted Oregon as they haven't seen us yet and on paper it seems like an easier game.

Yes it's hard to beat a team twice. I remember just last year when we crushed NC St at their place, only to lose to them a couple weeks later in the ACCT then in the Elite 8. However, I believe this Duke team is different. They will bring the fight to Arizona a 2nd time, just like they did to UNC a 2nd AND 3rd time.

If this Duke team plays good, it doesn't matter who they play, they will win.
