NCAA First Round Games Thread for Thurs Mar 19

With only 7 players on Siena I would think that part of Duke's game plan would be to get players on Siena in foul trouble.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Brutal sequence missing 2 dunks. Could change game.

 

[Briancuse]

Wow that missed dunk...

Turning point

 

[LpoolNative]

Those two missed dunks, followed by the Duke run out are going to be a critical turn in this game. Lots of momentum shifting.

Relax

 

[swish7]

Weak call

 

[HyattsCuse]

This reminds me of the ‘85 Villanova / Georgetown game. Siena has to play the perfect game. Can they keep it up?

 

[JDubbin]

Missed dunk may change things

 

[NineOneSeven]

How the hell did that stiff miss that dunk at 7’ tall?

 

[Briancuse]

Of course you did. You said you were rooting for Duke because you were so afraid that a good game by Gerry might lead him to this job. That is fine. That is your opinion. But you knocked his coaching along with a lot of other people here. Don't worry about your Dukie's though. The second half will wear Siena down. Their loss of three starters has to affect them at some point.

I am, show me where I said he couldn't coach? I said he wasn't the best candidate and I wanted to go outside the program.

 

[CooperCuse]

Lots of Duke whistles this half.

 

[Biaxtar]

TV timeout couldn't come at a better time. They needed a breather

Can stem the tide with a bucket, but yeah, its not looking good

Weak call

Refs are stepping in

Worried about Siena's lack of depth. They gotta play smart

I mean they’re up 9 with 16 to go

All five have played 24 minutes. That is crazy.

 

[texascpa]

Top 5 all time sports upset if it happens?

Could be #1 upset.

 

[Orangezoo]

Refs will definitely help Duke this half just expect it. Keep composure and play their game. Gerry has shown more than enough no matter the final outcome playing a bunch of draft picks.

It was fun but Duke will have the lead by the under 12 TO

 

[Cuse117]

Not really accurate... the overwhelming majority of posters have been of the opinion that "It has to be someone outside of the Boeheim/SU family". To suggest otherwise isn't really being honest, in my opinion (even if you personally did not hold that opinion).

Yea I suppose that’s fair. Having a hard time keeping up with the 600 page thread lol.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Oh no

 

[atlanticuse]

“Shut down Boozer” or “isolate Boozer” I could have guessed.

But Doty shooting lights out not on my bingo card.

 

[llandz]

review for a flagrant.

The refs started two minutes earlier than I estimated.
