Duke vs Gonzaga -- In-game thread

[jncuse]

Very few people have given Gonzaga a realistic chance on this board. Spread is only 2.5 so obviously some people out there believe in them.

I have had Gonzaga in my final 4 since the beginning but I have not been pushing them too hard. Last time I really defended them they crapped the bed as a #1 seed.

Should be a great game between 2 very good offensive teams. And that is how you beat Duke in the tourney.

The slow but nifty matchup in the post between Okafor and Parnewski should be interesting.

I'm hoping the Zags win but they are more than likely going to have to deal with the favoritism of Dook calls today.

Go Duke.. I mean we need an ACC team in the Final 4. All the dominance we built up heading into this weekend has been washed away by Big Blue, the refs and MSU's annual bs.

 

[bpo57]

I expect Karnowski to get exposed today. Should be a good game.

Go, Blue Devils. I have to start each of these in-game threads by stating my rooting interest. Nothing against Mark Few, but I genuinely like Coach K.

God this pains me almost more than anything... Duke being only remaining ACC school... Could only be worse if Maryland was in and still ACC... not even sure I can honestly pull for them... Better pour lots of liquor in glass and drink quickly...

Hoping the Zags earn their first trip to a final four today!

Central Casting at the NCAA Hollywood branch has written the script like they do every year. Keep a close eye out on the refs. If you thought MSU Louisville was bad... March Madness tm is turning out to be more like the WWF year after year.

Whichever team hits their three's this game wins. Okafor should eat up the Zag's bigs. threes beats dueces.

 

[Madbiker]

This is one of the few times I will root for Duke. Go ACC we need a team in the FF. Win or lose this won't affect Duke's recruiting one bit. So go ahead and win.

 

[Ringostar57]

Game over...looks like Duke getting the calls. NCAA wants four bigs this year... Okafor steal dribbles 2 handed on breakaway then takes 3 steps from outside the 3 point line for layup. 2 violations on one play no call.

 

[Bill Orange]

Duke.

Well Wrestlemania is tonight.

I'm rooting for the Zags. A FF helps Duke's recruiting(not that they need much help). But I want them to have no new advantages in the recruitment of Kid Mamba or anyone else that we both recruit in the future.

Winslow will be back in minutes... mark my words

 

[jncuse]

Cheering for Duke anyday is worse than cheering for Kentucky to go 40-0. For me anyway.

Winslow will be back in minutes... mark my words

Hmmmmmm, maybe not even 3 minutes... but oh how the announcers are giving him the Kourageous marks... Gotta love the Duke aura ...

JFC Mclelland (sp), just layup the ball.

 

[ssbriefcase]

Zags bigs are better than anyone is giving them credit for. It's weird that just watching the game it doesn't seem dook would have this big a lead.

 

[Ghost]

Jones admiring his missed three - which was clear to 99.9% of people watching in the world was impressive...lol

 

[jncuse]

Raftery does it again -- a bounce pass into a contested area... as soon as it is thrown "WHAT A PASS", only because its a bounce pass. And a moment later turnover.

Wow. The amount of Duke love in this thread, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

 

[Ghost]

Did TBS just shrink the screen, and then bring it back again?

Well played, TBS.

 

[jncuse]

Wow. The amount of Duke love in this thread, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

This board has shown over and over again (in general) that it hates mid-major conference schools that have had some success. Not sure why.

 

[WaHoos4Me]

Wow. The amount of Duke love in this thread, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I have no love in this match up... I loathe Duke like Syracuse LOATHES GTown... and not sure I can actually root for this Duke team
