*****OFFICIAL NCAA TOURNEY THREAD*****

[Big_C_KU]

High 40s 3pt shooter first half of season. Been streaky 2nd half of season.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Dang KU, save some for the next guy.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Nova should just start fouling now.

 

[FaithPlusOne]

It’s still early and there’s plenty of time, but it sure almost feels over already. Nova has just not shown any ability to defend the 3. Or 2. Or the lane. Or anything really.

 

[Turinturumbar]

Nova struggling to buy a basket, this can get ugly. KU looking to avenge for the loss in 2018.

Crazy thing is they’ve hit the looks they’ve had. They just haven’t had a lot of open looks. KU could be up 20.

Outmatched athletically and Kansas is continuing to play well offensively like they did in the 2nd half of the Miami game. This is a tough team to beat when they’re playing offense like this

 

[ExitFlagger]

Is Agbaji usually this good at shooting? I thought KU struggled from beyond the arc earlier in the tournament.

His percentage dipped at the end of the year, but he’s definitely a good shooter.

 

[jackrabbit slim]

Clearly Villanova is a shit program.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Down to 16

 

[FaithPlusOne]

I know I’m probably alone in this but I’ve gotten tired of Bill Raftery. He sounds either senile or drunk whenever he speaks these days.

 

[Big_C_KU]

Not sure how that was not a charge. He was set for a good 2-3 seconds before Slater even began his drive.

 

[thebasketballreasons]

This one is just like exactly like that final 4 game in 2018, the better team went out on fire and the worse team just couldn’t keep up. Only difference is, Nova was the better team in 2018, this time it is KU.

 

[GhostOf301]

If Nova goes into the half down under 10, they got to be feeling alright.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

If Nova goes into the half down under 10, they got to be feeling alright.

Pretty close.

 

[thebasketballreasons]

If Nova goes into the half down under 10, they got to be feeling alright.

Almost a single digit deficit, but KU maintained an 11pts lead. I think this is still too much for Nova, though they can make it a little interesting in the second half if they come out strong.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Not sure how that was not a charge. He was set for a good 2-3 seconds before Slater even began his drive.

It’s been a charge all year. Figures.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Nova is hesitant.

 

[thebasketballreasons]

Bad news for Duke/UNC fans: You probably wont beat this KU team if you make it to Monday.
Good news for Duke/UNC fans: If you lose tonight, your archrival probably wont beat this KU team either.

There you go.

 

[UNC71-00]

Wtf is this?

 

[FaithPlusOne]

Wtf is this?

For me right now? Torture.

 

[tw3301]

Wtf is this?

Apparently there's a halftime show now between games?

 

[GhostOf301]

It's going to be an unhealthy night.

 

[tw3301]

It's going to be an unhealthy night.

I'm already crushing beers after a week crushing beers with the family on spring break. Diet starts tomorrow or Tuesday.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

I feel like Duke is gonna roll this game. No jinx. Please win by 4 or more.

 

[Scotty00]

So does Coach K get revenge and the ultimate win over UNc in the final 4 or does UNc take another duty on K and end his career with a loss to his biggest rival???

 

[lurkeraspect84]

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLEEEE

 

[tw3301]

I feel like Duke is gonna roll this game. No jinx. Please win by 4 or more.

**** you.

 

[coryfly]

@coryfly Who will Leaky guard? Or who has he guarded in past games. Figure you might know this

Griffin in the second game, which is the guy I always thought was the best for UNC.

He took Paulo after he went off in the first game and did a good job but he doesn't bother me as much. To me, Griffin is the key to Duke. I like Leaky on him, which worked well in the second game.

[Kevin Bryan]

**** you.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

That's really is the gayest song ever.

 

[Scotty00]

I’m sure Bacot is a great young man but dude looks like a damn tranny😂

 

[FaithPlusOne]

That's really is the gayest song ever.

Their hype song. No joke.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Someone tell Jim Nance it's not "March Madness" anymore. It's April, dummy.

 

[tw3301]

That's really is the gayest song ever.

Agreed, so dumb. Enough with the ****ing preamble let's go.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Wow, I didn't realize UNC had such a huge lead over Duke head to head.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

I’m sure Bacot is a great young man but dude looks like a damn tranny😂

Makes @lurkeraspect84 rock solid.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Roger Ayers.....hahahaha. Good luck guys.

 

[Kevin Bryan]

Roger Ayers.....hahahaha. Good luck guys.

Right. The officiating in the first game was excellent. They didn't call shit.
