Sweet 16 - Day Two Thread (besides Duke)

[dukiejay]

Four really good matchups on paper.

Can Auburn stun the Heels? I think they can, but I don't think they will.

I don't follow UK at all....is P.J. playing this weekend?

Go Duke! GTHC, GTH!!!

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

One of UNC or UK is going to lose....I just have this feeling (which I hope is wrong and they both lose)

 

[Hurley22]

Looks like Seth Davis believes PJ won't play tonight.. ..for whatever that's worth.

Well, I like Houston’s chances a lot more now.

I can’t imagine he doesn’t play after the tweet that Cal sent out. If he sent that, knowing he wasn’t playing. I would be pissed if I were part of that fan base

They’ll be pissed no matter what. It’s just a matter of how pissed will they be.

MSU vs LSU: Looking forward to the PG Matchup between Winston and Waters. I feel this game will be won in the 60s

Auburn vs Unc: Whichever Team does the better job of defending against the 3 point shot wins this game IMO. All of Auburn’s players are capable of hitting the 3. Both teams like to run. Little is a game time decision for unc. I expect a high scoring game in this one.

Houston vs Kentucky: Saw Washington is unsure whether or not he will play tonight. This will be a grind out game and come down to the wire imo.

Duke vs Virginia Tech: Duke needs to do a great job of defending the 3 point shot (need Javin and Marquis to do a great job on defending the 3 point shot when they are switched out onto the perimeter). Jones needs to make life difficult for Vtech’s Robinson, if Robinson is unable to get VTech into their offense, Duke is in great shape. Duke must also continue to attack the lane at will and get Blackshear into foul trouble. Duke’s coaching staff has had 4 days to prepare for Virginia Tech, I feel good about our Blue Devils winning this game.

What was the tweet?

I’ll see if I can find it. It was a video of PJ walking around without the cast on and Cal simply said “Uh oh”!

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

What was the tweet?

PJ had sent a tweet of himself walking without the boot and Cal then tweeted “uh-oh” like he is in fact going to play. Now it sounds like he isn’t going to play.

[crazyduke3]

They need PJ in the worst. They will not make it to the FF without him.

 

[christophero]

There is no besides Duke. We need to take care of our business. Then I can worry about other teams.

 

[dukebluesTX]

I married into an Auburn family. Pulling for the tigers hard. Besides the fact that UNCheat should be banned from tournament play for a decade for their shady fake classes.

 

[IPSYCHOSIS]

I don’t know what y’all are smoking UNC was proven innocent.

So was OJ.

So was OJ.

Haha nice!

 

[IPSYCHOSIS]

I should have used that the other day!!! Dammit!

 

[FearTheBeard_rivals208808]

Michael Jackson, R Kelly and Casey Anthony also work.

 

[DeepColor]

MSU up early. Maybe better off to play them than LSU.

 

[Jnood]

LSU looks like a steamer!

 

[dbav]

I repeat, Emmitt Williams is built like a truck. Good lord.

 

[Duke1783]

What’s more annoying in basketball? Mouthpieces or headbands

 

[duke0527]

LSU looks lethargic

 

[crazyduke3]

Ugh there was a reason I didn't want MSU in our bracket. They are strong. But we gotta get through VT first.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Jeez, if I didn't hate UNC already, Kenny Smith would be enough to do it for me.

OFC

Depends on who's wearing them.

OFC

LSU needs to stop leaving every shooter.

Hey now if it doesn’t fit

 

[FearTheBeard_rivals208808]

Hey now if it doesn’t fit

Find a new chick.

 

[dbav]

LSU also needs to get a defensive rebound. My goodness.

 

[dbav]

LSU looks awful. Some of it is due to MSU, but most of it is just a lack of hustle.

 

[youngman42]

GTHC, GTH!!!

 

[Duke1783]

Cassius Winston vs Fluke Maye ? Lol

 

[pisgah101]

Find a new chick.

You on a roll today lol

 

[Duke1783]

I really want the Cheaters to lose tonight. Little insurance policy for us

 

[denverexpat]

MichSt shooting above par, LSU not in the game yet...

 

[FearTheBeard_rivals208808]

The Auburn/Cheaters game is entertaining, but it would be much more entertaining if they let Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley commentate the rest of the game.

 

[Duke1783]

I’m guessing the LSU players didn’t get paid this week

 

[denverexpat]

and 1? didnt see any contact there at all. The cheats get out and run so well.
