They get to play Purdue. They are going to the title game. Mark it down.I can’t believe State is going to the Final Four. What in the actual fuck.
State and Purdue. The oft-overlooked engineering brethren of college basketball blue bloods will meet in the Final Four.They get to play Purdue. They are going to the title game. Mark it down.
And maybe a weird byproduct, but I'm thinking that with the proliferation of online sports gambling more and more people are going to tune into women's games and realize it's a very strong product.Probably the fastest growing untapped sector in sports entertainment. I suspect at least a couple of the Monday women's Elite 8 games draw fantastic numbers.
Wake built its whole season around beating Duke at home in an ultimately meaningless home game. Imagine beating Duke and Carolina to win the ACC Championship and then beating Duke by a dozen to make the Final 4. That’s a fantasy that they made reality. Wolfpack fans have gotten more satisfaction from 2 weeks of basketball then Wake fans have had in 20 years.
All thanks to Bennett and uva.

Sometimes discovery is a Trail of Tiers, manSomehow, I can still be shocked by a stat showing how bad Wake basketball is in March.
The kid still had to hit an amazing shot. I have new found respect for Keats because winning 9 elimination games in a row to get to the Final 4 is likely unprecedented.All thanks to Bennett and uva.
Oh, ok.Played a full freshman season at Central Michigan. Got hurt early in his sophomore year.
Valvano won 7, ironically.The kid still had to hit an amazing shot. I have new found respect for Keats because winning 9 elimination games in a row to get to the Final 4 is likely unprecedented.
Pretty sure the "give me the damn ball everytime" line directed at Rusty was during the UNC championship game not the Duke game on Friday. But your larger point still stands.62 years
NC State has beaten Duke on neutral floors twice in 3 weeks - once to win the ACC championship, once to advance to the Final Four.
I got tired of counting our postseason neutral-site losses to Duke, but our last two wins over Duke in the ACC tournament were the Childress "give me the damn ball! every time!" game in 1995, and a win over them in K's second year of coaching, 1982
Meh. No need to do that ishWelp. Just read the other board and now I'm depressed
