NCAA Tournament Saturday Second Round Open Thread

NCAA Tournament Saturday Second Round Open Thread Photo9 more hours of hoops. What a shame.

What do you say we get the Duke Blue Devils out of this place so Coach K can get himself healthy.

I think you know which game I'm most looking forward to, but besides that the Wisconsin-Kansas State matchup really intrigues. The possibility of a Kansas-Kansas St. rematch is becoming stronger. It's not Africa, but maybe Michael Beasley would settle for trying to beat the Jayhawks in Detroit.

2 Duke vs 7 West Virginia (2:10)
3 Wisconsin vs 11 Kansas State (4:30)
3 Xavier vs 6 Purdue (4:40)
4 Washington State vs 5 Notre Dame (6:40)
3 Stanford vs 6 Marquette (6:45)
1 Kansas vs 8 UNLV (6:50)
4 Pittsburgh vs 5 Michigan State (9:10)
1 UCLA vs 9 Texas A&M (9:15)

Q it up here.

What a horrible play call with 9 seconds left.
+3 thumbs upI've always thought; with 9 seconds left, right after that ball was scored by Collison, you just run as fast as you can to get across the halfcourt line, and set up a play with 5 seconds and not a need to run the extra 50 feet..

"Right now we're seeing this game officiated very tight."

Big Ten officials at their finest. 8 minutes of basketball, 9 fouls called.

 I've heard that Ed Hightower is just as bad as Ted Valentine. dook is probably going to win this with the officiating and having their three point game on.

I clearly could be biased but Michigan State lost 8 games this year. Ed Hightower officiated in 4 of those.

 So, WVU has multiple players in foul trouble, while Duke only has one. Shocking. Luckily, Joe Alexander is a beast.

At this point, the refs are the only thing keeping Duke in this game.  They'll be shooting free throws on every foul for the last 12+ minutes of the game

+2 thumbs upI'm more amused that everyone was praising Duke's poise and experience and yet there two seniors have been MIA for the most part of these 2 games.  In fact, this might be two of the worse games I've seen from DeMarcus Nelson

Rim found to be crooked, reason for dook missing threes.

I am browsing a dook board and they are melting down. People are calling out Coach K to retire, begging for a recruit who can post up, mostly attacking coach K.

I love it, I really do.

I hate those kind of fans that after a loss think that one of the greatest coaches ever should retire or be fired. I heard that stuff after the Fiesta Bowl from OU fans as we walked out of the Stadium and it drove me nuts.

 The critics will say, Duke was a team that has no inside game and they shoot a lot of threes. They didn't hit their threes and they lost.

 The only bad thing about this is that UCLA is going to have an even easier time to return back to the Final Four. I thought the best team that had a chance to beat UCLA was dook in their region.

Oh well, I will take it.
