Free throws:
Duke 15
Baylor 2

That was about as poorly a game UF could play and they still won. Have to think winning against that program with that pedigree will serve them well later on.

That’s kinda my point. UF played poor against a natty winning coach and still pulled one out their ass. I do think they fizzle out at some point but they’re good enough to win it all. Let’s hope not

 

[UTK]

Most champs have at least one nail biter along the way. Survived an uncharacteristically poor shooting performance and against a good team. Move on.

no doubt

Cooper Flagg is really good

Not a fan of one basketball game being played first weekend up until late afternoon. So stupid but hey…money

Perks of being a blue blood.

Perks when you’re the tallest team in college basketball versus a team that doesn’t start a guy over 6’7”

Todd golden is gonna be so pissed when he finds out the sweet sixteen is the next round & not a birthday party

I fully expect Duke to pull this out, but I’m not surprised Duke is not blowing Baylor out like so many people expected. The ACC was just that terrible, and Duke probably isn’t the second coming of 1976 Indiana like everybody wants to claim.

That doesn’t mean Duke is overrated. But surely people realize by now that they were beating everybody in their conference by 30+ because it was terrible, and not because Duke is an indestructible juggernaut

This post hasn't aged so well. Duke up 17 at the half.

Todd Golden used to be named Todd Smith but changed his name based on the type of showers he prefers.

still a whole half of basketball left. And I said Duke was going to win anyway, so I don’t really get what you mean.

They shot > 47% from 3, so they could probably play worse

 

[hUTch2002]

I don’t think they’ll get past Maryland

They will.

Shooting above average from 3PT & nearly on average from FG is a poor shooting performance?

 

[Proud Army Wife]

They will.

I was talking about UConn at that point if they had won today.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

UConn held the Gators to just 50 shot attempts, that’s the only reason it was a game.

Shot 46% FG 46.4% 3PT…they missed a few FTs though, but are only hitting 72% from there usually anyway. So 65% wasn’t that big of a dip

CBS Commentary: "Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg" ... *deeeeeeep breath* ... "Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg Cooper Flagg."

I'm kidding of course. They don't actually stop to take a breath.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I just realized I have 2 perfect regions left on one of my brackets. Our region and Dukes. I have us losing to Houston in the elite 8 tho. Hope I’m wrong.
