UNC. Every time.

Paige is an assassin. Such a big shot.
Not me. Part of me wants a shot at UK but most of me just wants them out. UNC was never a threat in this tourney for Duke
 
From heels earlier post "Actually, I'm not worried abour Wisconsin at all---it's Arizona that scares me" Yeah right!

WVU takes a lot of jump shots for a team that can't make jump shots.
 
Have to give the Heels some props tonight. They gave Wisc. a heck of game. Just can't take UNC winning in anything and that includes their women's wrestling team. I know they have one. I've seen them cheering on the sidelines and end zones at UNC home football and basketball games.

I'm trying to figure out how WVU got this far.

Although, they are getting some open looks.
 
I know they pressure and lead the nation in forced turnovers, but I don't know enough about them to know whether they get offense when that isn't happening, because they aren't turning UK over AT ALL.
 
The margin of victory may be more than when UNLV beat us by 30 in 1990.OFC
 
UK's first two games were more competitive then this lol! Idk how WVU got here just really sad offense. At least ND can score and prob give them a better game (hopefully) and I hope our refs tomorrow night don't want to control the game like these. Worst game I've seen all year and no flow whatsoever
 
This has been a hard fought game by both teams.
 
I'm pleasantly surprised that I went 4-0 in tonight's games. Hopefully I'll go 4-0 in tomorrow night's games as well but I'll settle for going 1-3 as long as Duke is the 1.

Ya as a Dukie not liking the chalk results tonight. Usually means upsets tomorrow


Kentucky: ya the height yadda yadda. I'm not impressed. This is not one of Calipari's 3 greatest teams. A memorable type 3 point shooting performance from ND could bounce them Saturday

You could argue Duke has superior starters at C, SF, SG and PG. But the benches are so drastically different in quality.

I can agree with ya on that. Having all the teams win tonight that were predicted by most to win could be a sign that some of the teams that are supposed to win tomorrow night could get upset. As long as Duke isn't one of the teams to get upset then I'll be perfectly happy.
 
i really like the way notre dame is playing now. its good to see in my opinion. Ky will have 3 real tough games in order to win a NC.

arizona and wisconsin should be interesting.
 
UK will beat Norte Dame by 15 or more unless ND is lights-out from 3. In that case UK wins a close one.

I think AZ or Wisconsin will take UK down.
 
The issue with ND over Kentucky is that they will have a really hard time stopping their size offensively and they likely won't score in the paint when they have the ball.

ND could hit 20 threes and score 60 points :)

I also don't think Wisconsin can beat Kentucky. Arizona is the one team that can match up physically on that size of the bracket. I give Gonzaga the next best chance followed by Duke
 
That Xavier/Zona game was really fun to watch. Maximum effort by everyone on the court. Games like that are why I love college basketball so much.

I don't think Cal is going to let ND just sit outside and bomb 3's all day kinda like he didn't let WVU press work at all against us. If I was a betting man id say hes gonna turn those jumpshooters from ND into drivers were our 7 footers are lurking.
