I’m not even going to look at stats. Diakate was the most important player on best team. He might look like a lesbian, but guy is scrappy.

Don't know about that, but they wouldn't have made it past the Elite Eight without him.
 
That was the guy they got after we stole SKJ from them. You’re welcome Virginia
 
Everyone talks about UNC beating Duke without Zion, but UVA lost to Duke the second time without Diakte and an injured Jerome while Duke was on fire.

Duke was up by 10 when Diakite went out, and won by 10. Jerome still had 16 points, above his season average. Nice try, but this isn't comparable.
 
Because teams never come back.

Just let them have it. Some Duke fans and media members needed excuses this year. It is tough for them based on the expectations and infatuation that come from being such a darling.

I still can't believe he hit that shot against Purdue. I feel like he makes that shot maybe five times out of 100 if that.

Wait. The unc fan made excuses for why Virginia lost to Duke and you are flapping about letting Duke fans have their excuses?

I think it was important for some of them this year. Some, certainly not all. For example, I don't recall you whining about not having Zion incessantly.

I cried in my pillow every night until I fell asleep. I got more comfort out of that than I ever would crying about it on Rivals.
 
Lol

I like it. That is my philosophy as well. I have my breakdowns by myself.
