DUKE Final Four

1989

1992
1994

Considering how difficult it is to reach this level, what an amazing run that was for the Blue Devils. I am still shocked to this day.

The refs in the game last night were not good...

 

[Fightfan1]

@Fightfan1 is an absolute troll, don't know how some of you haven't figured that one out yet.

No, some of you are just incredibly biased. But I digress, get some rest tonight we have a big game tomorrow!

 

[BeerPoisoning]

Nothing like going to the Pacers game only to watch Gonzaga and TxTech on your phone. What a game lmao

 

[Mac9192]

Heck of a game between 2 really good teams. Texas Tech is legit and is worthy of the final four. Hope we get to see them, again.

Where is he? I’ve been practicing.

re the refs...i would say this is probably the worst I've seen on a tournament for a while. Lots of touch and phantom fouls but then muggings not called...the charge/block call is getting called wrong a lot..and then just what they review and dont is very confusing...not to point out the fact some calls after the review are baffling

Wait, if I keep up my reverse jinxing on Duke will you call me a troll!?!?

 

[bullettoothtony]

Suck it, Hachimura... no Final Four for your ***** ***.

 

[Austinduke]

Congrats to Texas Tech very deserving of the Final Four

 

[PixelDevil]

Wait, if I keep up my reverse jinxing on Duke will you call me a troll!?!?

yes

Overall, I've never disliked Gonzaga, but they had a lot of guys that did a lot of talking without actually accomplishing anything. Perkins can have a seat next to Hill from VT.

 

[PixelDevil]

Also, TTU officials joins Kansas on the list of B12 schools you can trust in the tournament. Beard is a hell of a coach.

Wait.. you’re not a troll??

 

[Louisville Crazie]

I’d like to see Purdue pull it off. It’s a very pro Purdue crowd with them being closer to Louisville.

I'm going UVA. Selfishly, I feel better playing them than Purdue.

I’m an ACC guy outside of BC and well you know

 

[Louisville Crazie]

JJ Cline wasting no time

 

[Testkid]

Road game for uva

 

[PixelDevil]

Saw the ref seriously thinking about calling that a charge. Had it been Zion, no question.

 

[denverexpat]

Ivan Drago wins the tip ( for you old Rocky fans)

 

[dbav]

Is it a rule in the Big 10 that you have to have a 7'+ farm kid on your team?

 

[dbav]

Damn, Purdue starts on fire.

 

[Shatterthesky22]

Is it a rule in the Big 10 that you have to have a 7'+ farm kid on your team?

Yes

 

[SwatX1]

We don't match up well with Gonzaga. We match up well with Texas Tech.

Did I seriously have to explain that?

They beat us by 2, shooting out of their minds....so yeah, you’ll ha e to explain why we “can’t” beat them, anyway, now we don’t have to

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Ivan Drago wins the tip ( for you old Rocky fans)

As they showed his picture I was telling my wife he looks like Drago lol

 

[dbav]

Yes

It then begs the question, how are there so many 7'+ farm kids?

 

[denverexpat]

Purdue may be the other team of destiny with their hot 3 streak and fortuitous calls ( UT game)

 

[pisgah101]

We got rocky we good

Fresh whole milk straight from the cow, baleing hay all day, bed at 6pm up at 5 am....good lifestyle...

 

[Shatterthesky22]

8 straight possessions with a score, IN A UVA GAME?!?!

 

[FearTheBeard_rivals208808]

Cline is still on a roll.

 

[Shatterthesky22]

No idea my man. Hell we got 3 6'11" dudes from Indiana , and they were brothers!!

 

[denverexpat]

Is cline the anti- jack white...he cannot miss from 3

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Wait.. you’re not a troll??

Haha well played buddy! Hope you’re well my man!

 

[denverexpat]

Could be the GMO in the "organic" foods they grow in the mid west

 

[dbav]

Ball is in his hand.

 

[denverexpat]

Purdue must be 75% from 3 the last 2 games
