Tourney thread Round 2

[pisgah101]

Okay time for round 2!! Who we pulling for today?? Any upsets?

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Go Cincy (although I bet UK wins by 25+)....

 

[QC Dukie]

Arkansas......nuff said

OFC

 

[dbav]

UCLA certainly can score points.

 

[dbav]

I think K could have really had fun using Looney. Too bad he ended up out west.

 

[dukiejay]

The team many thought had no business being in the tournament is about to punch their ticket to the Sweet 16.

I think Cincy can muck it up a bit against UK and slow them down, but ultimately the game is about scoring points....and the Bearcats struggle doing that. I think UK wins by about 20, but that the game is maybe a little closer than what the final score might indicate.

 

[pisgah101]

I'm with jay I think cincy can make them game ut. As for Arkansas I want UNC to lose of course but the SEC is so weak to me it might make us look better if UNC blows them off the court

 

[GoDuke'13]

Im going to be in Pittsburgh for Nova/State and Butler/ND. Butler and ND should be a good one and as long as the good NC State shows up, that game could be interesting as well.

 

[pisgah101]

I think state will get the upset. Also I've never seen any team get as many calls as UK it's pretty sad lol

 

[dukiejay]

This is about what I expected so far. Cincy is doing a good job running their offense and UK hasn't made many shots. It's a one-point lead for UK at the under eight TO.

Duke does, remember? Everyone reminds us everyday. GO to THR or to Rupps Rafters. They will let you know who gets all the calls. Duke owns the book on calls. In fact, they weren't even called Calls until Coach K named it Calls. Coach K even made the Yellow Pages because he owns calls.

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Well they played UK close for a bit but this one is over.

 

[GoDuke'13]

Cincy cant obviously match UKs height but in typical Cincy fashion being physical and rebounding pretty well. They are trying to control the tempo as much as possible but theres only so much they can do.

 

[DFerryFan]

As hard as it is to admit, that UK dunk was pretty nasty. Perfect example of getting posterized.

 

[pisgah101]

Haha that's true GTHC! This one is prob over cuz cincy can't score enough to keep up being down already. Hope they keep
It interesting tho

 

[Crank_it_loud]

The UK bigs get away with plenty of fouls. It is remarkable.

 

[skysdad]

I'm sure all of you know that's watching the UK - Cinn. game that former Duke great Jim Spanarkel is announcing. One of my all time favorites. Probably got more out of his natural talents than any Duke player I've ever seen. OFC

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Cincy is keeping it close. Hopefully they can pull it out over the last 12 minutes.

 

[pisgah101]

UK go inside whistle... Cincy go inside nothing

 

[pisgah101]

I'll jus make the prediction that UK won't win the ship. In all honesty I think Maryland of Md will knock them off

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

That would be one of those games where I'd wish that both teams could lose lol

 

[pisgah101]

Or Nd that's suppose to say haha.

 

[pisgah101]

Pulling for Ga state here!

 

[pisgah101]

Let's go NC St get the upset!

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Forgot GTown had Josh Smith, they are looking tough!

 

[pisgah101]

Always wondering why Georgetown wears Jordan. Strange to me.. And I think Utah will end up winning

 

[duke0527]

nova looks like 08 Duke. Nothing but long jump shots.

 

[pisgah101]

They throw a ton of em up that's for sure. State looks tough! Hope they keep it up

 

[dukiejay]

State didn't play well against Duke or LSU....they were due for a good one. It's a long ways from over, but every one of us know how good they can be. They're doing it right now.

 

[dbav]

Let's go Arkansas.

 

[dbav]

Come on State. Close this out.

 

[pisgah101]

Nova goes most of the game cold on threes and hit two huge ones wow dang! Come on state

 

[dbav]

Huge FTs by Barber.

 

[dbav]

Hilliard has range.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Wow...I thought State had it, but Nova is still alive.

OFC

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Holy moly...State did it!!!

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Way to go state

 

[skysdad]

My brackets are shot but I did have NCSU over Nova. OFC

 

[carlsondevil]

Wow! Great win for State.

 

[pisgah101]

YES! Way to go pack! Almost can't believe Gottfried didn't blow it lol
