I feel like Okafor would have a terrible game if Duke has to play Kentucky. Just doesn't look as quick as their big guys.

Terrible call on the OOB on Karnowski. Okafor might not have pushed him with his hands but definitely did with his lower body.

I would like to see Duke play Plumlee, Jefferson and Okafor all in versus Zags 3 bigs. Jones and Cook for guards.

Gonzaga can't score with Duke and can't guard them either. This is over.

Just like you always gotta pick MSU to go a round or two further than they should, you never pick Gonzaga to the Final 4.....which means this must have been my first year picking the tourney

Wish the announcers would stop talking about how Gonzaga has soared to new heights. They have underperformed in nearly every NCAA tournament the past five years. Their conference doesn't prepare them for the tournament. Period.

Why is the Final Four on TBS? Too bad ESPN won't pony up and buy the tournament to save us all from such horrible announcing

Was last year too. The original contract they signed said that starting in 2016 CBS and TBS would rotate the Final Four/Title game, but TBS asked if they could start it in 2014. CBS countered with TBS can have the Final Four in 2014 and 2015, but CBS keeps the title game.Classyposter58;1717139 wrote:Why is the Final Four on TBS?

Still, starting next year TBS will have the Final FOur games and the Championship game in even numbered years, and CBS in odd numbered years.

Read on Twitter that every recruiting class Izzo has had, has participated in a Final Four(kind of a stretch this year with it being the redshirts, but still pretty amazing).

Another fine, overachieving run this year. Although it almost certainly wouldn't have happened in any of the other 3 regions.se-alum;1717148 wrote:Read on Twitter that every recruiting class Izzo has had, has participated in a Final Four(kind of a stretch this year with it being the redshirts, but still pretty amazing).

Izzo is the best coach in the NCAA. No one does more with less.

That is an awesome stat. I questioned this years team, as most did in the middle of the season. But they got hot at the right time. Really should have beaten Wisky in Big Ten title game. They are confident and tough mentally right now. I don't think they can hang with UK if they get by Duke. But they could beat Duke IMO and Wisky if that happens. Not that you could, but I am not sure I'll ever question and Izzo coached team. This is one of his least talented teams. But they just get it done somehow.se-alum;1717148 wrote:Read on Twitter that every recruiting class Izzo has had, has participated in a Final Four(kind of a stretch this year with it being the redshirts, but still pretty amazing).

Izzo's streak of getting every class to the Final Four ended last season. Period.
The redshirt technicality is just stupid. The class of 2010 graduated last season.
