*****OFFICIAL NCAA TOURNEY THREAD*****
- Thread starter Kevin Bryan
- Start date
John committed a foul first with his arm wrapped around Bacot before Bacot used his elbow to dislodge John.
I think we’re toast in this. Not deep enough for our foul trouble and Duke just has more talent.
UNC is really missing out here with all the Duke foul trouble. Chance to close out the lalf strong.
It has been the opposite of the first game where you could basically get away with murder. Typical NCAA officiating inconsistency. Wouldn't expect anything less.
I have a feeling no team is going to lead by more than 2 possessions for this game, its been really competitive thus far.
UNC doesn’t have a bench, so the latter is almost a given any time they step on the court.
The paint domination has been big.
The Caleb Love experience. He’s either all world or head scratchingly bad, with no in-between. Sometimes he switches at half or just randomly. He was terrible first half against UCLA.
Great first half...
Although Duke was shooting like crap to start the game.
The refs didn't get the memo to only call fouls against Carolina tho...
Hopefully Duke can finish strong.

I think it's going to come down to points in the paint.
Every game is different. KU will need to come out ready to attack either of these teams completely different than how they played Nova.
I feel its about whichever team gets hot from 3s. The two teams are shooting like 20% from beyond the arc, this will change in the 2nd half.
Fouls kept UNC in the game in the first half, we will see how that goes in the second half. AJ Griffin has been awful, he gets going I'll be tickled as shit.
Any idea on what the attendance at this game is? Looks like they got that side of the SuperDome pretty packed...
Traditionally speaking, if Duke wins the paint and the bench points, they are dominating. That was mostly my point. Duke will have to start capitalizing in order for those stats to make a difference.
Can't believe this is the first time Duke and UNC have played in the Tourny... pretty Kewl...
Honestly, it does feel like it should be by more than 3 right now.
Well the last time UNC was down 3pts at half, they won the second half by 10 and defeated UCLA in sweet 16. This aint looking good for Duke right now, they have so many missed opportunities to take a bigger lead.
Im not feeling good about this 2nd half. Feels like Duke is getting better opportunities and rebounding well
Or they start shooting better, stop fouling so much and run away with this thing...
Go DuKe!
Every time I've been down there for a final four win, there was no walking space for several blocks. Pretty sure it's the same tonight.
When UNC struggles on D they give up a lot of points in the paint and that is the case here. Looks more like early season D than late season D.
Offensively they take and make tough shots. They aren't making them today. They need to pass more and dribble less and not just give up on the possession. Pass until something opens up. That is when they are more successful getting Manek and Bacot looks. Love and Davis will create shots now and then and you live with it and hope they make some.

They all looked like they had their hands in the pockets and just standing there.
Burn a couch or something.
...or just stand there.
