I'm worried the Big Ten might accidentally win a title and then we can't poke fun at them anymore

 

[PauliePeppas]

Time to emotionally hedge and bet Uconn

Maliq Brown dominating a Sweet 16 game for the number one overall seed and we had fans saying it wasn't a loss lmaooo

Duke-SJ game is fantastic.

 

[AckermanAve]

Maliq doing maliq things. Man I miss him.

Maliq Brown dominating a Sweet 16 game for the number one overall seed and we had fans saying it wasn't a loss lmaooo

He’s the most impactful player … on the 1 seed …. Who has a top 3 pick …. And Maliq barely scores……

he’s a 1st round NBA pick

 

[hoopsupstate]

Maliq is making play after play.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Maliq Brown keeping Duke in the game early against St. John's.

MALIQ IM SO HAPPY 4 U

does he have a chance to make the NBA?

Seems like the level of contact allowed differs greatly depending upon who is shooting.

The chance to be an elite defender is absolutely there. He’s a little slim and his handle isn’t great. Can’t shoot. Really good passer.

his ceiling seems a lot higher too…

You can often tell when Raftery is pulling for a team as he will frequently make suggestions about what they need to do to win. He's coaching the Dookies up pretty good tonight.

interesting nugget on the Westwood One broadcast. Scheyer is trying to win a NC as a player and coach. The guy did not list the others. Without looking it up, I am guessing Bobby Knight, Kevin Ollie and John Wooden (I think he won a Helms Championship in the 1920s with Purdue, the equivalent then of a NC). Anybody got any other guesses? Gerry could do it!

I hate Duke but I hate that slimy, sleazeball Pitino more. Raf is a cyborg, he sounds the same today as he did in the 80s, 90s, 2000s.

Duke gets every call. Boozer steps on the other guys shoe and they call a block. Guy goes straight up earlier in game, misses layup and they call foul. It’s insane. Cmon Pat Driscoll !

Was thinking Larry Brown maybe (UNC and wasn't he Kansas '88 coach).

Even Maliq's shooting foul was crap. The St Johns dude was just short. Lol He was in position and jumping straight up. Brown was jumping from an angle. That's a play on - not two more foul shots for Duke because Brown falls down.

All the shooting fouls is a huge diff.

Bobby Knight: Won as a player in 1960 (at Ohio St) and as coach 3 times (at Indiana)

Joe B. Hall: Won as a player in 1949 (at Kentucky) and as coach in 1978 (at Kentucky).

John Wooden: Won as a player in 1932 (at Purdue) and as coach 10 times (at UCLA).

UConn didn't win a natty until 1999, after Ollie had graduated.

Glad I'm not the only who sees that. Duke can be physical with St. Johns but if it's the other way around it's a whistle. That second foul on Hopkins was trash and took away St. John's momentum.

It's 8 against 5 a lot of times.

Let's make sure that doesn't happen but the ref's will try their best to ensure it happens.
