That's how you snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, by missing front ends of 1-and-1s

Free throws and offensive rebounds

 

[USAF]

Florida gonna lose. Texas Team #3 is scoring at will.

Yet another great call.

 

[Gilthorp57]

Free throws and offensive rebounds

Not sure why Tech pulled Federiko, he picked up every offensive board when he was in.

[Bad Gopher]

Duke is simply a fantastic team.

 

[upnorthkid]

Bama has the gas to beat them, they just need to hit shots. Should be a good second half

 

[WindyCityGopher]

Duke is simply a fantastic team.

And dammit, I actually don’t find either the team or the coach absolutely detestable like I have for every other Duke team in my basketball watching lifetime.

Free throws and offensive rebounds

Except for the final, uncontested layup with 10 seconds left, TT scored 2 points in the final 3 minutes.

 

[WCGopher]

Duke is a machine

 

[upnorthkid]

If im Maluachs agent, I just play this at every one of my meetings with nba execs. He has single-handedly destroyed bamas offense tonight

 

[Holy Man]

Live by the three, die by the three. Bama is facing a well coached defense but they are missing makable shots. Need more versatility. The guy from North Dakota cold as ice.

What I wouldn't give for the Wolves to be able to trade up and draft him as Rudy's future replacement.

Bamas 3s came from another 3 feet out on the court against the Duke defense. Bad night for Nelson against the Duke big.

Hah...I was thinking the same damn thing. It would open the door for a Randle & Gobert trade for Durant. Great minds, sir.

Yep. Way bigger and more athletic guards who can switch pushing them way outside. Is why Sears is an outstanding college guy but won’t last in the nba at his height.

They’re winning it all, and I picked Florida.

 

[Holy Man]

I didn’t pick them. They picked me, and I still feel soiled. I thought bama was unbeatable the other night, so I’m not counting the tithe just yet.

My bracket of all 1s in the FF with Duke winning feels pretty good so far

Shame on you.

2008 was the only season since expansion in 1985 that had four #1 seeds in final four.

Yeah, we're in new territory here.

 

[upnorthkid]

Shame on you.

Had to win the family bracket for once lol

Lol I want nothing to do with that Durant trade though

 

[Beerculees]

I saw a crazy stat the other day. In the last 17 years 16 champions are either a 1 seed or Uconn. The 1 time it wasn't a 1 seed, it was Nova which was a 2 seed.

 

[SelectionSunday]

They’re winning it all, and I picked Florida.

Ditto.

I know how big of a "fan" you are of a Durant trade from the Wolves board. Needless cheap shot on my behalf.

I would love to have Maluach, though.

Didn't expect Houston to thoroughly shut down Tennessee like this. But it's early....plenty of time for them to right the ship.

It's over.

Does Tennessee get 10 points by halftime?

This is turning into a beat down.
