Duke is extremely overrated this year, but they couldn't have gotten a luckier/easier draw to the Sweet 16. That's as far as I'm willing to take them.
I missed 1 game. Took Long Beach St to pull the 12/5 upset.
edit: that's not my VN bracket though. My local bracket with the boys.
I don't think you'll have to worry too, too much.
Nah, State is for real, Cuse is a paper tiger, nothing more.
1986 MSU -v- Kansas "clock game". Sweet 16 game at Kemper Arena. Clock malfunction cost MSU the win.
1990(?) MSU -v- GaTech. Sweet 16. Kenny Anderson hits a 3, while STANDING ON THE 3PT LINE, at the buzzer to send it into overtime.
Every angle ever viewed of this shot shows it as a 2, game over.
sigh. just a couple examples of tough luck with refs in the tourney. Everyone and their brother will be cheering for the 16 seeds today, especially after the 'Cuse game yesterday. I hope the refs dont have a rooting interest!!
If anything, after watching that Cuse game, I would feel more confident than ever. It was obvious they wanted the #1 seed to advance, it makes too much sense fiscally. Same thing in this scenario, at least for the 16/1 matchups. After that, it's up for grabs.
