Now Flagg twisted his Ankle.

If I hear one more time how Cal is an elite coach, I’m going to scream

Cal is an elite coach.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Now Flagg twisted his Ankle.

Absolutely wild. Came down so awkwardly, will be the biggest storyline/question by far on Selection Sunday.

 

[VolCalls]

Duke should win going away. They just have to flip a switch.

You know that old joke that the only person who could hold Michael Jordan under 20 ppg was Dean Smith?

I’ve always felt the same about Cal.

They should, but man this GT team is WEIRD.

They beat UofL and Clemson this year.

With no Flagg or Brown it might be tougher

That they are.

 

[ABtheVolsfan92]

If they lose Flagg and Brown Duke will not make the sweet 16

 

[hUTch2002]

If Duke loses they should be on the 2 line. 0% chance of that of course.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Now Flagg twisted his Ankle.

That’s not a twisted ankle

 

[MoCo_Vol]

That ankle turn looked bad, he was so high up and had no help bracing his landing from the other foot.

I think it’s worse than a twisted ankle bc I was told by someone who actually is a doctor .
Wise ass.

They would obviously never do it, but if Flagg and Brown are both done for the season, Duke isn’t a 1-seed. The committee will still honor their body of work, but man that team is cooked. Sweet 16 their ceiling, IMO, without those 2 players.

Maybe Duke’s bracket isn’t so bad after all?

I know which 2 seed I want then...

I bet they’d drop them to a 2 (or even a 3) if it’s announced they’re out for the year. They did just that after Kenyon Martin broke his leg in the 2000 CUSA Tournament after Cincinnati had been the dominant #1 team all year.

Agreed there. I watched it and I bet he will be back but likely second weekend.

Came here to mention that. Dropped the to the three seed line. I don’t know that there has ever been an injury that impactful on the tournament.

FWIW there’s precedent with Cincinnati and Kenyon Martin, they were considered a lock for a 1 seed until he suffered an injury in their conference tournament loss, the committee dropped them to a 2. Obviously that’s been awhile and no way to know if they’ll do that again, I’m also sure Duke won’t disclose the extent of these injuries either if those guys don’t return prior to selection Sunday.

You could be right. With Martin (I was there in person and saw it), it was obvious he had broken his leg as soon as he went down.

 

[hUTch2002]

I’m not watching the game but I’m looking at the score update regularly. Is GA Tech going to score again?

Like last year with Bill Self, I’m sure Scheyer will lie or at the very least avoid directly answering the question till after the Selection Show. So no one will know anything till early next week. I still think I’d be shocked if they actually took injuries into consideration….especially for the favored child Duke.
