NCAA Elite Eight Games Thread for Sun Mar 29

Dan Hurley has an extremely punchable face.

 

[JDubbin]

I hate both teams, but man March Madness is the best!

 

[llandz]

Guess Boston College will have to wait another week for their head coach.

 

[Newhouser]

Haters have to give credit man. Nobody fought back this weekend except UCONN. Sheyer and the whole team but especially the Boozers... turnover crazy.

 

[orangefog]

The Brotherhood is hurting right now

 

[CooperCuse]

That was a Chris Webber level mistake.

 

[llandz]

First of all, UConn came back from down , I think 23 points. So credit for that. Duke mistake at the end or not, they fought back really well and Duke let them.

 

[Cuse4455]

We've made the FF 6 times in our entire program history. Uconn has made 8 FF since '99...

 

[IthacaMatt]

Well, it's a certain kind of justice for Boozer to make the 2 plays that cost Duke the game - the missed FT and then the turnover leading to the winning basket. If he had hit his foul shot, that miracle three would have only forced overtime.

It was kind of nauseating, how the announcer kept saying how this kid has won the championship wherever he played. "He's just a winner."
Boozer is human, and he's just a kid.

 

[sabach]

UConn couldn't get a foul and it worked perfectly for them. Sickening.

 

[swish7]

OMG. Did the Boozers not know better? Seriously. You had 10 seconds, and 10 seconds to cross the line. Use the 10 seconds.

Left his feet to pass too, which you should never do. Amazing game, but I hate how UCONNs overstuffed championship trophy shelf is filled w these kinds of easy paths & improbable wins.

We are the little brothers right now, like really little, like can’t even play on the same playground little

19, actually, matching the lead UNC coughed up in the first round.

3 in the last 4 years. That’s the part that stings the most.

 

[721Comstock]

Did Duke Win?

 

[Ringostar57]

Thought you had to be smart to attend duke. Guess not

 

[Bill Orange]

I'm heading down to Tobacco Road Saturday for our lax game v. UNC and then our women's game at Duke after that.

At least I won’t have to deal with Dukies at the Wa Duke bar after our WLax game!

 

[Ringostar57]

Boozers will be boozing tonight. Some legacy. Shooshevski just puked

 

[Briancuse]

I despise uconn with all my heart but there is something to duke having.to epic back to.back choke jobs that brings a smile to my face

 

[hoopsupstate]

Cameron with a total brain cramp. If he gets the pass through two guys are unguarded, but all he had to do was hang onto the ball. Duke was dumb on offense. Too many sets with Boozer handling the ball out front. When they got the ball to him on the blocks, he either scored or set a teammate up for easy looks. Evan’s and Boozer both turned the ball over late by trying to dribble through traffic. This is becoming a pattern for Duke. UCONN even helped when two 80%+ foul shooters missed late.

 

[BuffOrange]

What is the W prob up 5 with the ball 1:15 left. Has to be >98%.
At least UConn will get a real team in the final for once.

 

[sufan59]

Ok then Let’s go Illini!

 

[Scotch]

They have gotten so many breaks. They have been great but my god things have gone their way.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Honestly just stunned at what I just saw.

Can I please catch a damn break in the sporting world?

 

[Willy75]

They have gotten so many breaks. They have been great but my god things have gone their way.

Luck is the residue of design: Vince Lombardi.
