NCAA Tournament Thoughts

Yeags is 20 minutes of hoops away from a meltdown.

The way Mizzu is playing they deserve to win

Yeags is 20 minutes of hoops away from a meltdown.

Yeah. That's a bummer Yeags.



I gotta tell ya, I don't know what the heck Duke is trying to do. They can't handle the trap and they are just allowing Nova to kill half of the shot clock by pressuring them to the time line. It's like Duke has forgotten how to play ball. They need to bring a big man to the high post and use that when they get to the time line. If you run a high post there, then you can cut guys from all over the place to the basket and that will effectively kill the trap. I don't get it. Instead, they are just standing around with there collective thumbs up their backsides.

Come on Duke, I picked you over Nova. Show a little hart!

They look like a Jr. high rebounding out there.

This is gonna be the best game of the night. I have a feeling.

Sorry Yeags, but I hope Mizzou keeps this up, cause I'm not getting to watch the Duke game.

Craptackuler there Dukies!

I'm all over it.

We've forgotten how to guard period and how to shoot.

To start the game we were driving down the lane at ease then we started to shoot from the outside for some unknown reason.

I hate Duke as it is Pep. Hard enough going against what I know is natural in hoping they lose. I'm stuck with cusing at the TV because I got them in my bracket and hating myself for it. I feel dirty.

:laugh2:

It's a really young team and Mizzou pressures from end line to end line with a bunch of 6'7 guys who can really run and jump. I picked Missouri in this game because I've seen them play a lot this year but this will be good for the Tigers Yeags. Cal has a good young team and a loss like this will go along way towards making those young men better for the next two years.


Still in all, it's not over. They have a chance.

If they keep letting them get wide open shots like that it's over.

That's a tough match up Yeags. Missouri is a darn good, and experienced team. I am glade they are on the other side of the bracket from Carolina.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

OK fellas, looks like Duke is going to screw me on this one. What a surprise. I'm headed to bed.

Tough luck Yeags. Tigers are good but they are probably going down to a more experience team tonight. They'll better for it in the long run.

Mizzu played one hell of a game and were the better team. They deserved the win. I hate to see Anderson and Dozier go. They have been the glue the last 4 years. It will be interesting to see who can fill their shoes.

But it wasn't all bad. Duke lost also.

:laugh2:

Well my feeling was waaaay off. Should have thought twice about that.

Duke couldn't buy a bucket. I know everyone hates 'em. I can't help it. I was hooked in '92. I just embrace the hatred

Well, you've come to the right place then. I doubt I'll be running short any time soon.

I guess I didn't need to flip, but seriously what's justifiable about your Duke hate? Is it the students? The continued success? Or how about their class act coach, who just helped your country regain it's place as best in basketball? Both of my parents graduated from Duke university, so I've grown up a die-hard; but the hatred is something else.

Let's put it in terms you guys can understand, it's like the confusion with why everyone hates the Cowboys. Obviously, it's envy. Envoius of the successes we've had, envious of the beautiful new stadium, envoius of the triple-D blondes that roam the sidelines wearing blue "rags" for shirts? It's envy.

I've never said I hated Duke. I said they get a lot of calls and they do. In the past I have rooted for Duke to win. I enjoyed watching Grant Hill, Hurley and Shane Battier play. When it's not my team, Memphis, I go hot and cold on teams. I was glad they lost because they are so overhyped but some may say that about Memphis.

I hate Duke. I'm a heels fan so I don't guess you really need more then that. Duke fans hate us and have since long before I ever joined the frey. Just how it is.

oops, my bad....I thought you were saying Duke had 3d blonds on the sidelines. lol
---------
I know Duke well and one thing for sure...they are NOT, nor EVER have been known for hot women. They must be in 7-8th place just in their own state as far as schools with hot hotties.

As for the other stuff, there could be a hint of truth with the envy...but not from the UNC fans. They have no reason to ever envy Duke except that UNC is a top 4 nationally ranked state school academically while Duke is higher overall.

They don't get any more calls than other college basketball powerhouses.

I suppose you realize counselor, we all know your a Lawyer right?

Have you watched the HBO documentary, BATTLE FOR TOBACCO ROAD: DUKE VS. CAROLINA? It's really good.
