I thought the weak *** ACC might impact Duke in the NCAAT but they are rolling.

I just want SOMEONE to tell me why Duke gets a favorable whistle. They are incredibly talented, so why do the officials decide they need that whistle help as well?
I think it’s been pretty fairly called by a Duke game standard. Alabama primarily Sears has just been terrible. I’m sure though if it were to get tight the refs would earn their money.

Bama has had a tendency to get caught ball watching on D all year. Duke is killing them with the screen game and with back cuts when Bama fails to stay connected. It wouldn't surprise me at all for Bama to make some shots, but they are going to need 2 or 3 stops in a row on D.

I just wish in the future one thing.

it does not matter one bit what conference you are from. It doesn't matter if it's the SEC and you go I dunno 13-5 or you are in the ACC and go 17-1.

If you are a good team, you are a good team.

And I don't buy the "battle tested" BS. Sometimes that can easily just as well go against you than benefit you.

Duke's EM on Kenpom is +38.88. That is ridiculous. They were far and away one of the best teams in college bball this season. It's just people didn't wanna admit it.

Duke using two man action with the big and Proctor a lot now, has worked vast majority of time resulting in an easy Proctor shot or a lob. Gotta contain that.

Alabama threes are not falling basically because Duke is covering them and making shots from three difficult. AL is passing up good twos to take l-o-n-g challenged threes.
Duke has the total package.

Preaching to the choir man. People would even get angry if you said it. Some things are rational takes and not emotional takes. I hate admitting Duke is good but it was obvious from moment one and only got more obvious throughout the year

Another pet peeve is records.

Last year Alabama was sitting at 6-5. They made a final four that year.

This year we had the same thing but with Houston. Sitting at 4-3 but two of those losses in OT.

People wanted to know why they were rated so highly........all this while they were absolutely biltzing through the B12.

Good is good. Eventually cream rises to the top.

Ayers didn't want to call that on Flagg. Then the announcers say "that was a great foul". WTF ever you Puke homers.

I’ll say it again. Oats will NEVER win a title with the way he runs offense. You gotta have some sort of inside game. Just have to.

I swear the way Bama plays on offense and defense I’d expect them to pull a mask off Oats head after the game and it be Cal. Like on Scooby Doo.

They played no one for about 3 months except Clemson who beat them. UL had them on the ropes in the ACC championship. I think it’s fair to have some questions about how good they really were.

I really hate that ad, in which Cooper is in the Bingo Hall playing the game and screams out "BINGO" when he wins! The old folks are giving him dirty looks, and I think to myself, yeah, I feel you there lol

They will take a look...which means they will wipe it away. Even though it was a goal tend (barely).
