Duke has experience blowing a 17 pt. lead in the Elite 8...........
Well. They played real basketball team then. Not a Gen Z rich boy spoiled brat.
It seems karaban has been at Connecticut for an eternity.I don't see him having much of a future in the nba.
I turned the game off when Duke got up 11. Looks like I’m not missing anything.
Fouls 10-4 in favor of Duke per the box score I just checked. Rinse and repeat.
Just preparing myself for the inevitable.

I'm not but the first babies the generation after mine were twins, another cousin also had twins, i had a friend in high school who was a twin, my last relationship was with a twin(though she had a twin brother, not identical twins) and we met at work where one of our friends was a twin. The friend at work absolutely despised her twin, my ex and her twin brother were basically like any brother and sister but the rest were practically inseparable (except the friend in high school got her twins kidney when they were 5, and she told me whenever they argue she goes "give me my kidney back!!!"
)
He assembled the team. That's a pretty significant part of coaching in college.
After reading the KSR article today about Keegan Brown's philosophy for roster construction, and then watching Michigan and Duke dominate back-to-back games, I see both approaches to roster-building enjoying success.
Duke has elite talent and has done basically no roster-building through the transfer portal. They are still winning through direct high school recruits and retaining some key players for two or three years.
Michigan's primary contributors came almost entirely through the transfer portal with only one Top 50 recruit.
Both teams have one "star" - Yaxel a senior and Boozer a freshman.
Both have incredible young coaches. These teams also have true point guards with court vision and bigs that can pass and dribble without falling over their own feet.
I actually think a guy like Yaxel or Boozer would do great in Pope's system of running the offense through the bigs at the top of the key. BG is way too volatile and inconsistent. Malachi isn't strong with the ball.

Great info!I'm not but the first babies the generation after mine were twins, another cousin also had twins, i had a friend in high school who was a twin, my last relationship was with a twin(though she had a twin brother, not identical twins) and we met at work where one of our friends was a twin.

My wife's niece and nephew are fraternal twins. Very few of their friends in HS even knew they were brother and sister. They thought they were cousins and that is no joke. They are not all that close and not that similar.
The niece has fraternal twins and they are around 10 years old and completely inseparable and they are very similar. It is fun to be around them to just watch them interact with one another!
Yea, airballing a three is a tough look. Hoping they can keep chipping away
UConn making a run now. Down 7 with 10 to go. Not sure if they can keep chipping away but at least it is more of a game.
Can't stand Hurley, but his teams play with an edge and you can't count them out.
He’s having a rough game. I wish we had a big man like Reid though.
Either one winning makes me sick, idk who I want to win less. Seeing Duke choke a huge lead would be nice, but then UConn is one step closer yet again. I’m in a basketball hell either way.
I know. I keep going back and forth on which team I would prefer to lose.
The only consolation is that I hate UT more than anyone, and they got destroyed. Makes me feel slightly better (very slightly).
UConn shooting like a Calipari team today. Boozer is allowed to just truck people. Hurley isn’t used to being in a game where he can’t get any calls.
obvious charge on boozer, no call. Unreal.
Can’t call two charges on boozer in the same game. That’s criminal!!
I just commented yesterday that Boozer is a fullback. He’s allowed to just bull people over and no call. You get close to him and it’s a foul.
Boozer did that exact move in the sienna game. He never gets called for charges on it
If that had been a Kentucky player, it would have been an F2
Not just a no call, but a goal tend as well. The UConn team reminds me of the Wall team. Keep shooting bricks from outside and can’t get within 10. It’s like a carbon copy.
Great TO by Hurley. They gotta make smart plays and get it to 5 and then it's on.
