Duke-Yale thread

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Duke up 11. Cupcake city.

 

[KY_Kid]

We should be playing in this game or tomorrow against Northern Iowa. Screw you selection committee.

 

[TheDude73]

Yep the gates open again for Duke. Yale is weak and blew it all on a crap Baylor team.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Did not see the other thread on this game.

 

[TheDude73]

Other thread is just about a story about the game. This should be the game thread.

 

[Jazzycat]

They will face a very athletic, quick team in Oregon. That will be a tough one for the dUKies.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Stevie Wonder saw this one coming. I half expect Oregon's team to come down with an illness before Thursday.

 

[EdHochuli'sTriceps]

9-8

better your seed, easier your path. just like cal said

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Duke shooting lights out. Up 17 now 36-19.

[Jazzycat]

Kennard looks really smooth....

 

[TheDude73]

Good lord. 17-pt lead already. Those 3 Dukie committee members are just sitting back enjoying their sh*tty champagne.

 

[dckala2_rivals16641]

Sleepwalk to the s16

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Yale laying down like the good boys they are. Calvin Hill probably made a generous endowment to his alma mater.

 

[TheDude73]

What sucks about today is that these first games are all sequential. So we can't change the channel to another game to get away from this disaster.

Now 19 pt lead with 5 minutes left. Maybe Saturday cartoons are still on...

We did better our seed...A&m still got it tho. Duke is worse than UK and iu

 

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

Dook with another handicap S16 appearance

 

[ZakkW]

Could be. Although I fully expect St. Joe to beat Oregon: you know, Dookie luck and all

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

I was waiting for this. Dude shot in the upper 20s and low 30s the whole year from 3.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

This one is over.

 

[bigblue7609_rivals211215]

ESPN ticker will read. Battle tested Duke team advance to sweet 16

 

[thecatsareback#8]

So sick of duke getting this **** every single year

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Let them get this out of their system, so Oregon can put the hurt on them.

 

[rodgerblue]

This one is over.

Yep. Duke may win by 40

 

[Wildcatfan66]

Pathetic how easy of a road Duke is getting.

 

[ck-2]

Kennard doing an excellent job combing his hair with his hand while playing.

 

[PhattyJ4UK_rivals309166]

What a joke

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

stellar job by the committee once again

 

[TheDude73]

stellar job by the committee once again

3/10 of the committee members think so, given they are or were Pukies themselves.

 

[mhroe1984]

After Duke lost in the first round to a double digit seed two times in a 3 year span the NCAA decided that they would never let that happen again. This is the final result.

 

[TheDude73]

Duke essentially getting two straight first-game cupcakes in a row.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

No way they shoot like this against Oregon.

What a pathetic effort by Yale. How did they beat Baylor like they did? Oh year, I forgot, B-12.

 

[144catfan]

Amazing how about 2 of every 3 years all kinds of crazy upsets happen in Dukes bracket and things just open up for them. I guess that's what happens in consistently weak brackets. Tired of seeing it year after year. It's taking a lot of the enjoyment of the tournament away knowing the committee blatantly gives this team a easy path. I wish more coaches were like Cal and had the balls to at least mention it.

 

[TortElvisII]

Committee I understand you set Duke up with easy games. Can't you at least give them an opponent that can outscore Allen in the first half?

 

[Calsthebomb]

Wow Yale is garbage.

agreed. the way they structure these games is maddening. i get that they are trying to maximize their exposure to primetime, but i doubt it would kill them if they shifted things around to create an additional afternoon game.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

3 players with 44 of their 46 pts.

 

[Kats23]

Baylor should go to Division II

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Haha, just stripped Allen clean and drew the foul.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

K hasn't been doing half-time interviews all year, but come tourney time during a blowout and there he is.
