[The Only Blue]

Surprised Bobby Hurley didn't have a heart attack watching his team this last minute vs Texas tech. Oh my God! If anyone can find a way to watch it, it's crazy the way his team almost gave the game away.

Edit- forgot to add that JT Toppin went down in the last few minutes of the game. He was helped off the floor barely putting any pressure on his right leg. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Smh. Brutal for him

Ouch. They just went from a very long shot to get to the final four to now a Sweet 16 team at best.

UConn down to Creighon under 4 minutes.

UConn down to Creighon under 4 minutes.

Thanks for update. I just switched over. Come on Creighton.

Creighton up 9 with little over a minute left

 

[The Only Blue]

UConn loses at home to Creighton.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Big East is incredibly weak so a loss to a 13-13 team has to be a blow to their resume. Hopefully that helps us come selection Sunday.

 

[pisgah101]

Glad UConn lost!

As a Big East alum I challenge you to pistols at dawn.

Zero defense but fun game. Arkansas is still going to be a really tough 5 or 6 seed in the tournament. Tough draw playing them in the 2nd round as a 3 seed…

Yeah defense was definitely optional lol

 

[The Only Blue]

Is defense suddenly optional in college basketball? Josh Hubbard from Mississippi state just scored 46 points on 15/27 shooting. I don't remember seeing so many different players scoring in the 30's let alone 40 plus points every week.

Just tonight:

Hubbard 46 points
Philon 35 points- double ot game
Acuff 49 points-double ot game
Dybantsa 38
Mills from Maryland 39 points

UConn’s loss gives us ALOT of breathing room for the East 1 seed. Have a strong feeling UConn will be the East 2..bring them on this isn’t a championship level UConn team.

Michigan will go Midwest 1. Chicago.

Agreed! My preference for Duke's Regions are in this order

1) East (Washington DC)
2) Midwest (United Center, Chicago, IL)

Duke will have played at both stadiums this season and will have Familiarity with both venues.

Right Jon isn’t stupid, there’s a reason we played games at both of those sites.

Cincinnati whips Kansas at Kansas by almost 20.. Wow

Illinois was up 33-10 and lost that one.

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

Kentucky just choked away a win against Auburn in hilarious fashion.

 

[christophero]

THE St. John's University Red Storm beat Creighton by 30. Johnnys are hot.
UCLA needed that win baaad.
Kentucky now 17-10. Do they even make the tournament?

that’s why I don’t trust Illinois in the ncaa tournament. The Illini can’t stop paint from drying.

That’s 7 losses for Kansas. No way they are a #2 like I saw then projected before this last loss. They should be probably a 4 seed.

Also, I’d be willing to bet my house that Kentucky is an 8- 9 seed and in our bracket.

I have 0 doubt Kentucky has 2-4 more losses coming their way before the NCAA Tournament starts Jimbo

if Duke faces Kentucky in the tournament, Duke will give Kentucky the same treatment Kentucky received from Gonzaga & @ Vanderbilt

We're back to this again

 

[sheyduke]

So basically he’s trying to get paid while avoiding go back to the g league . Let’s just do away with college basketball. This way all pros who didn’t make it can come back and play .

 

[pisgah101]

Houston gets beat again!

 

[The Only Blue]

We're back to this again

So would it be safe to say this will be the end of it?

 

[christophero]

My alma mater St. John's loses by 32 to UConn. Comon you can't lay an egg like that on the big stage. Boooo

 

[AlanInNJ1]

St. Johns seems to be that team that could beat Duke/Michigan/Houston on any given night and then lose to the CYO 50+ All-Star team the next night.

 

[The Only Blue]

Purdue loses at home to MSU. I'm guessing that puts them out of the 2 seed?

 

[JustAfanatic]

I’d say maybe but not a given.

Still a chance of them winning out the regular season and then there’s the conference tournament.

I’d guess a 3 seed though.

Michigan/Illinois tonight.

Just saw a post from Adam Zagoria and he showed that Lunardi has Purdue as our #2. The post was from this morning so I'm assuming that's after the Purdue loss last night.

 

[The Only Blue]

Michigan wins easily at Illinois 84-70. Was a 20 point or so lead until the last minute when Illinois hit a couple three's.

 

[bullcitygamer]

I would welcome any of Purdue, Nebraska, or Illinois to be Duke's #2 seed. None of these teams know what playing defense looks like.

Seton Hall up 8 points @ Uconn with 9:30 minutes remaining in the game.

 

[bullcitygamer]

UConn holds serve at home winning by 4 points.
