Nope. Punishment for that stupid commercial with them sweating.

Duke made history. No. 1 seeds were 134-0 when leading by at least 15 points at halftime of an NCAA Tournament game.

I gotta put that one on Boozer. His basketball IQ just randomly shrunk to his shoe size in that sequence.

What could Jon Scheyer have done differently?
called a timeout to
1. get Ngomba out in case he was fouled
2. draw up a play to get the ball in
3. remind them that they do not need to advance beyond half court

Who will have the best home court advantage on Saturday? Michigan or Illinois?

I’m gonna guess Illinois. Indianapolis is a very short trip for them and they have the Indy Illini.

I’m sure Michigan won’t have any issues bringing enough fans, though.

Bill Raftery looked like he saw somebody's head get punched clean off their neck.

I like Raftery but he’s VERY partial to Duke.

It’s an always a bit funny to me. I have family members that are graduates of both UM and Duke. At the same time, frick Duke.

Guy showed off his mediocre skills not calling TO to put his 5 best shooters on the floor and having players that panicked and didn’t know what to do

Arizona/Michigan is a true coin flip, but i'm surprised Illinois is even slightly favored over UConn. I think UConn-Michigan is the national championship game if I had to guess.

Expecting UConn to top Illinois bt 5-10. Can uconn\illi beat Michigan or Arizona on their bad day?

If Reed gets some calls, and Mullins puts up 26, it’s possible.

Arizona vs Michigan is the game between the two best teams in college basketball. That said, in a single game, winner take all, UConn is just about the one team that could orchestrate an upset if they make it to the final.

I disagree. Duke inbounded the ball cleaning to Boozer. He was quickly doubled by two UConn players. Why UConn didn't foul him immediately, I don't know. However, Boozer got the ball right back to the inbounder who then quickly passed it to the other Boozer in the middle of the court. Two UConn players then rush him at halfcourt. However, that left TWO Duke players behind the defense with all 5 UConn players beyond halfcourt. If Boozer's pass isn't deflected, the ball gets to a Duke player totally by himself with no UConn player in the vicinity to foul. Duke possibly runs out the clock, or at least gets it down to two seconds. It was almost a perfectly executed press break. UConn just made a great play...then another with the shot.

Everyone likes to blame the loser in hindsight. Sometimes the winner just makes a great play
