It's not about who is better anymore. It's who the whistle favors, and can the team who gets that whistle not hurt themselves with either poor shooting and/or turnovers.

The BIG question about this game is WHO gets that whistle... because both if these 2 teams have gotten the better of it for 20+ years.

If I get a dUKe loss today and Michigan wins the natty, I turn about $50 worth of entries into about a grand. Not that I’d ever root for dUKe, but this just gives me extra incentive not to. Dirty little secret, I kinda dig Hurley. He takes it a bit too far sometimes, but overall I enjoy him.

Exactly.

And if anything................Duke is the title contender of those two. I'd much rather them be out.

I can't see Uconn winning the title here. The remaining teams are just so good.
I think Arizona and Michigan could beat them senseless....but if Duke plays them in the FF or CG, you can expect a 65-8 FT disparity for the network Darlings

Yep. And the thing is despite not playing great, Duke is still very much a title contender here. Uconn IMO really isn't. I'd rather knock Duke out and worry about Uconn later than having Duke still in this thing.

Uconn isn't as talented as any of these other 4 teams, but Hurley's system will slow stuff down and force any of these teams to execute and beat you by 1000 paper cuts. They beat Illinois by 15 earlier this year, was up on Zona under 2 minutes to go without their center playing. I'd say a longshot too, but Hurley runs that stuff that should have beaten Florida last year.

And at least UConn has crazy disadvantages moving forward. They don’t have tons of money and I just don’t think Hurley is going to stay there forever. The NBA will eventually lure him. UConn hit crazy luck, I think eventually they’ll stop and be a hot 30 year program looking back. They just don’t have the allure and the money to get hihh profile coaches that’s why they hired Hurley in the first place. They’ve just gotten really, really lucky in crazy ways. They can’t be a destination forever in NIL. No way.

Duke is a real natural threat that unless Kentucky gets its act together they will pass us. And they have more claim because they’ve been winning almost as long as we have, they just weren’t dominant like us earlier. Every year Duke misses a championship is a great thing.

And it’s weird. Duke has actually shown that they aren’t all that good really. Nike, ncaa help, team USA, dark money flowing in, media, they have ALL THE ADVANTAGES, and haven’t been in a title game in TEN YEARS. Considering all the facts, that’s trash.
THIS! This multiplied by a million! Hit the nail square on the head!

Duke and uCONN won 4 titles that Cal was in the hunt for and cal should have won two of those. Imagine that.

It’s going to be hard to watch this game, much less listen to it with Grant Hill and Raftery slobbering all over the precious Boozers twins🤮. Grant Hill just said Duke and UCONN were the bluest of blue bloods.🙄.

Ideal scenario would be a horribly played game were it was obvious that neither team could win it all with You con stumbling over the finish line.

If you could read, there’s already a thread for the games. I know it’s hard for you to comprehend.
Looks like they merged my thread with an ignoed one. I wouldn't spit on your old tired bum thread if it was on fire. You're the same guy that got butthurt if someone started a football game thread instead of you. LOL, have at it clown.

Duke looks like a team on a mission and must be stopped. The OP is worried about his dumb bracket and I hope he has to put a line across pUKe's name.

I had to turn it off. Duke slurp fest.
They will beat Illinois. Hopefully AZ or Michigan will take them out.
It's going to be a long wait til next year if Puke wins the title.

You can’t get away from the precious twins, the little boys with faces like men. They are on 2 or 3 commercials too. The media and the refs are in their back pocket for some reason. Big Boozer just bulldozed a UCONN player, no call. Something needs to be done about the chicken sh— refs when Duke is playing.
