I seen that game, it was great. Duke willed their way to victory late and coach K's career continues. 

Other good games I watched, Gonzaga outlasted a tough Memphis team.....they both played fast. 

The Hurricanes advanced too.

 

Duke vs Texas Tech. should be fun to watch. Purdue should pull through, there is enough tape on St. Peters now for Matt Painter. 

[Myles]

Today I am pulling for:

Gonzaga over Arkansas - I typically root against the SEC

Michigan over Villanova - Go Big Ten

Texas Tech over Duke - I'd like to see Duke's season end.   Sick of hearing about their coach

Houston over Arizona - Beating the #1 seed would be cool

When Duke gets desperate they kick that D in, they are doing it again. It looks like a video game. They are so fast. 49-47, nice comeback by Duke. Great game so far.

Huge 3 by Duke, what a game! 69-68 Duke with 250 to play.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Defense baby! Blocked and a steal. I had Duke winning it all, I am still alive for my pick.

[2006Coltsbestever]

When they kick that D in it is over! Duke going to the Elite 8! 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Clutch FT's.

Well, that didn't go well for me.  

 

Tonight I am rooting for:

Purdue over St. Peters - Last chance for the Big Ten.

Providence over Kansas - Even though I have Kansas winning it all on my bracket

Not sure on the North Carolina vs UCLA game.  I dislike both teams.

Iowa State over Miami - Never cared for Miami

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I'm glad Duke won.

Not so glad Gonzaga lost.,.they didn't get one break but Arizona played extra tough..,and speaking of Tough, Timme is. 

[HOZER]

Whelp, Ivey and his ridiculous turnovers cost Purdue tonight. Purdue played like trash and got what they deserved. Painter/broken record.

[Indyfan4life]

I hate that Saint Peters beat Kentucky, but damnit if I’m not rooting for them the rest of this tournament.

That was a good game. I never heard of St. Peter's but my niece said she lives a few blocks from their school. They are the first 15 seed to get this far, beating Kentucky too.

[NFLfan]

I was rooting for Providence but looks like a win for Kansas.

 

I am rooting for Villanova to win the tourney. They have my favorite coach.

Good game for St Peter maybe. Purdue blew it, they’re better then they showed tonight. Sickening.

[HOZER]

Ok I walked off the ledge….still unhappy with Ivey but it is what it is. Pretty good season, just wish the Boilers were a little more aggressive at times. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

I picked Duke to win it all in my bracket, book it. I posted that in here a few days ago. Coach K going out a winner. Easy prediction. They will smoke North Carolina after what North Carolina did to them in Cameron. When Duke plays that smothering D, it is over.

Tough loss, I had Purdue going to the Final 4 in my bracket before it started. I had Purdue vs Duke, Kansas vs Villanova. I still have 3 alive. Clooney is dangerous over at Nova. 

 

My feeling was that Gonzaga may win it all finally but I had them losing in the Final 8 on my bracket, I guess I made the right call , they actually lost a round before that. I had Duke taking them out.

[Myles]

My bracket pick is still alive.  Kansas.  

I have a little interest in this years tourney.   I think less than ever before.

I have no dog in the fight either and could care less who wins it all but I just took Duke for the hell of it  

[LJpalmbeacher2]

Well Duke lost to North Carolina and ends coach K's fairy tale ending of retiring as the champs. 

 

So now people might ask what's coach K's legacy?

I will say his legacy is that he was one of the Best HC's that Duke has had in the last 20 years!

I had Duke winning it all from the beginning, they were up 1 late last night but couldn't close. I think Kansas will beat NC.

[2006Coltsbestever]

If I had to rank coaches of all-time, I have:

 

1. John Wooden

2. Coach K 

3. Bobby Knight

Do you agree with me Coach K was one of the best coaches Duke has had in the last 20 years???

I would say he was of the best they have had in the last 40 years 

[2006Coltsbestever]

I have a 50 dollar bet on UConn tonight. I think they take the women's tourney.

[2006Coltsbestever]

There have been tons of college basketball players throughout history, my all-time starting 5 would be this:

 

PG - Pistol Pete Maravich 6'5 195

 

SG - Steve Alford 6'2 180

 

SF - David Thompson, he was an actual SG but I would put him here, he could handle it against other college teams at 6'4 200 because of his athletic ability.

 

PF - Christian Laettner 6'11 235

 

C  - Lew Alcindor (aka Kareem) 7'2 235

 

Coach - would be me for craps and giggles. 

 

-Remember I am just basing this on college career's. David Thompson would be my Captain (he won a Championship as well), he was like Jordan was when Jordan played in the Pro's. In college Pistol average'd 44 points a game  . Steve Alford was so deadly from 3 in 1987 that it was unreal, IU went on to win the Championship. Laettner won back to back titles with Duke and could give you 20 and 10 every game. Kareem is the greatest college player ever and unstoppable, he 3-Peated in college. All my phases are covered from great Big's, athleticism, and 3 pt Shooting.

The difference between College and Pro are amazing but the 1 constant is Kareem  :

 

A typical all-time starting 5 in the NBA would be:

PG - Magic 6'9 220

 

SG - Jordan 6'6 198

 

SF - LeBron 6'8 250

 

PF - I would put Larry Bird here because you need a stretch 3 point shooter who was also 6'9 225 and could rebound with the best of them + he passed like Magic  

 

C  - Kareem 7'2 245 as a pro, he put on weight as a pro player

[2006Coltsbestever]

I bet 50 on UConn women to win it all but I got my money back last night with Kansas, I gave up 2.5 points and bet 50, Kansas won by 3, that is what I think of it

Trayce Jackson-Davis has decided to remove his name from the draft and return to Indiana for one more season.
