Apparently everyone in this thread cares enough to watch and post stillthe 2025 basketball season is over, who gives a big **** from here on out?
I agree, they can stop the rest of the tournament from here on out.... it means nothingthe 2025 basketball season is over, who gives a big **** from here on out?
I thought the weak *** ACC might impact Duke in the NCAAT but they are rolling.
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.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?
never bought that narrative. It didn't hurt us in 2012 with only one other ranked team in the conference.I thought the weak *** ACC might impact Duke in the NCAAT but they are rolling.
Think Bame beat us like a drum 3 timesAlabama beat us twice.
We beat Duke
Come on Bama wake up lol.
Malauch hacked the hell out of Bama on the steal.I really don't think they have gotten a favorable whistle least not here. I think it's been fairly even here.
Playing a hard schedule and getting “tested” is overrated. We have eight natties and 90% of those years our conference opponents didn’t even know what a basketball was.never bought that narrative. It didn't hurt us in 2012 with only one other ranked team in the conference.
It was close in Rupp.Think Bame beat us like a drum 3 times
Well, Duke has a very good defense and doesn’t turn it over very much. And two lottery picks and a very good big man.Think Bame beat us like a drum 3 times
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 yearI 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.
Was close down there too. Much closer than final score indicated. They also got a great whistle down there.It was close in Rupp.
True.Was close down there too. Much closer than final score indicated. They also got a great whistle down there.
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 just wish in the future one thing.

Look no further than our own Cats, every year except 2015.Bama is schizophrenic. How can they look so good in some games and like crap in other games.
Because they’re much too reliant on the 3 pointer.Bama is schizophrenic. How can they look so good in some games and like crap in other games.
And defense.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.
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.
Good is good. Eventually cream rises to the top.
when you’re 31-3, you’re going to be feeling pretty good going into the tournament. even from a fringe power conference.I thought the weak *** ACC might impact Duke in the NCAAT but they are rolling.
