I just flipped on the game with about a minute to go and figured I would see how it ended as the lead from halftime was about gone. Hell of an ending! The announcers said tourney teams with a 15 point lead at half were like 100+ something and zero. Guess Duke is now that 1.

And can someone who knows about college basketball explain why the duke coach did not take a timeout before the final possession to tell them to just hold it once they got it inbounds? I think they still had a timeout.

Scheyer looked like he was confidently telling them what to do. In actuality, they had no idea what to do that would keep them out of risk. It just goes to show you that the truly great bench coaches…..the ones you want to be your coach in moments like these…..are pretty rare. Scheyer has as good of a lineup as money can buy but Coach K isn’t sitting on that bench with him. The Florida coach doesn’t have Billy sitting on the bench with him. Hurley is the best all around coach in the game as far as I’m concerned. Like Kenny Smith said early today before the M-T game, “coach Hurley is so good he can steal a game he shouldn’t win”. We just witnessed him steal that game from duke.

Really hard to play hockey with both hands firmly on your throat….

Duke up 15 at halftime on UConn. Looks like we'll have Final Four pairings of Duke-Illinois and Arizona-UM. I'm going to say there will be a lot of Illinois and UM fans there in Indy, at least for the first day.

Scratch that. It will be UConn-Illinois.

ACC and massive blown leads: Name a more iconic duo.

MARCH

the ball just seems to have a magnet for special moments this time of year. That was one of the craziest sequences/2nd halves I’ve ever seen

Yeah, just after I was thinking this Elite 8 was a letdown, then March Madness happened.

OMG.

First #1 seed to blow a 15-point halftime lead. They were 134-0.

Panic play. Huge meltdown for the Dukies.

Yeah. Just hold onto the ball, you moron. That's a Webber-esque meltdown.

UConn didn't even shoot the ball well this game, just hit a couple timely 3s at the end. Huskies were 5-23 from 3.

Stupid play by Dook leads to the completion of the choke. Wtf was Boozer thinking?

Cayden Boozer for Duke foolishly tried to pass the ball with under 10 seconds left and got it tipped and stolen by UConn. If he just held the ball they would have fouled him.

Holy shit….this UConn and Duke game. Another choke job by Duke.

Fook Dook.

OMG! UConn nailed the desperation 3 to get the lead with 0.3 left!

Back to .500 overall and 4-5 in the B1G which puts them at 8th currently. Season looked like it was going to be another complete lost cause a couple of weeks ago. It's not great still but improvement is being shown.

Beat Minnesota 12-9 to complete the sweep.

I'm sorry, but I have to strenuously object to the phrase, "in-state rivals."

Disgusted to be watching the cheaters playing in both tournaments today. Fix this shit, aggy.
