This is crazy man

 

[SwatX1]

I want rights to the movie

 

[dukiejay]

Virginia hadn’t allowed 70 points to a team all season. They just gave up 74 to something called UMBC.

 

[christophero]

Virginia's style of play just does not translate to the tourney. They're down 20 to a school I've never heard of.

 

[Mac9192]

We always thought that Virginia's lack of offense would hurt them...but I never thought they would fold like this.

OFC

I know, and to a team I'd never heard of before. This was a year I thought they had enough offense.
This game shows how crazy college basketball has been this year.

[Duke1783]

That's not true. I cried.

lol same here

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

That's awesome, UMBC..U Must B Cinderella!!!

OFC

 

[pisgah101]

Wow congrats to UMBC really cool

 

[denverexpat]

53pts in one half against UVA.....wow that is amazing
This year so many top10 teams have lost to unranked teams that maybe it was inevitable that this was going to happen. Wish UMBC the best in the next round.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Well congrats, why couldn't it be Lipscomb

 

[christophero]

Nobody cried for us when we lost to Lehigh and Mercer

This. That is why I don't root for ANYONE but Duke.

 

[Mpm277]

In. Sane.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

They'll remember this the rest of their lives. I was talking about the Retrievers, but that actually applies to the Hoos even more.

OFC

 

[DukeSky85]

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog

 

[500HP_Devil]

They just aren’t built offensively for coming back. That four corner 1876 offense will get in a hole eventually and tonight they got in a hole and it was too much. They Maura kid and his dad were fun to watch.

 

[Duke1783]

So i guess the Retrievers are “golden”

 

[christophero]

Tony Bennett will have to work hard to retrieve his reputation after this one. Sorry too soon?

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

So i guess the Retrievers are “golden”

Haha, tonight they are! They'll probably be bounced the next game...but tonight are on top of the world.

OFC

 

[wswartz34]

Another example of why March Madness is the greatest tournament in sports.

 

[SwatX1]

Ky is getting absolutely waltzed into the final 4......

 

[christophero]

Glad it wasn't us.

 

[Duke1783]

Tony Bennett will have to work hard to retrieve his reputation after this one. Sorry too soon?

Nobody does “one and done” like Virginia

 

[denverexpat]

ACC needs redemption in the remaining games....would be good to go 3-0 to finish

 

[christophero]

I'd like us to go 3-0. That's the great and heartbreaking thing about the tourney. An entire season can be redeemed or destroyed with one game.

 

[denverexpat]

and in constrast to the excitement of the other games....cuse and TCU are showing what poor offense looks like

 

[christophero]

Let this be a lesson to our guys Saturday.

 

[denverexpat]

Cuse through...ugly..but onto Mich St

 

[tripleb71]

Cuse with a big win! The current ACC teams playing have looked great.

 

[christophero]

Wonder what the Virginia message boards are like now. That's a tough pill to swallow.

 

[Kingbluedevil]

Syracuse just won. Yea!

 

[dbav]

The rest of the ACC is taking care of business.

 

[tripleb71]

Well, it'll be fun watching Syracise be the canary in the mine against MSU with thier zone.

 

[dbav]

Haha, so in retrospect, UVA really did get the toughest region.

 

[Mac9192]

Virginia picked the worst night of their year to play like crap.
Duke knows what it's like to put someone on the basketball map. Let's hope we don't make Rhode Island more known today.

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Gotta love college basketball, Virginia gets knocked out in the first round and Syracuse I’d going to the second round when most people thought they probably wouldn’t even get in the tournament lol

 

[christophero]

The reason seeding is an imperfect science is it is a snapshot of a specific moment in time. The top 25 is constantly changing, and the seeding is what the team may be at that moment. MSU was ranked in the top 5 for most of the year. I was making jokes last night, but I feel for Virginia and their fans today. They had a great season and this is all anyone will remember. This has happened to us. Ok let's win today!
