I haven't watched 1 second of Purdue/St.Mary's, and it could end up being a buzzer beater.

Amazing set of games here.

Other than VCU yesterday was like all chalk.

Today is a totally different day. Kind of wild how big a difference a day can make.

Coach K needs to rethink strategy. If the three-pointers don't fall, they're always in trouble.

As lazy as everyone beside Thomas played yesterday, I'm now so much more happy with our performance.

LOL, where are the Dook guys who kept saying "wait until March!"

Did they mean March 2013?

Assuming Michigan St. doesn't blow it. Michigan is the only B1G team not to advance.

As it should have been. Not about Michigan, but about 5/6 teams advancing.

I was never sure what swami, rec, cc were thinking all season. They follow Duke more than I do, but from the little bit I saw time to time, more often than not they didn't look that good. I figured they'd play a below-average game and narrowly win then get dropped in the second round. They probably shouldn't have been a #2 seed.
They've vastly underachieved (in the tournament) the past several seasons with the exception of winning the title a couple years ago.

Edit: In before "cc doesn't think" -- but usually swami and rec are more sensible.

Last five games, the lower seed has won. That means all 4 night games have been upsets so far.

Detroit going to make it 3 15 seeds today! The funny thing is Detroit was the only 15 seed I thought might have a chance when the bracket came out

Sure in hell wasn't me. Duke is supposed to be the smart team but allow two mindless dunks that the typical 5th grader would've been at least correctly positioned in the last 40 seconds.

Dawkins and Curry were statistically atrocious. Seven Plumlee brothers don't matter.

Recruit some athletes Mike. Jesus

When was the last time you heard of a Duke player with great length? Luol Deng?....for 1 year?
