NCAA Tournament Discussion Thread - One Shining Moment - UConn Huskies

[DeacDaddy]

This Duke team is pretty lame. McCain is the only reliable offensive option, Mitchell is a complete bum. Play boring and slow too, questioning how long recruits are gonna wanna play Scheyerball

Maybe. But theyre close to making a FF; got Cooper Flagg coming in; the Duke mystique has been successfully maintained.

I tell myself it should raise the expectations amongst the powers that be (if state gets to FF)

That’s true. I continue to preach that State is our biggest rival too.

This is why I'm rooting against State. We don't need that once-moribund program getting any more life. Plus to lose a Final Four opportunity to your rival would be agonizing (true either way).

I don't think State being good affects us negatively really. There's enough recruits/transfers out there that I doubt their success would have too much of a detrimental impact on us.

Plus the more strong teams in the conference, the easier it is to get at-large bids.

Caveat though: I don't live in NC so that may color my perspective in terms of dealing with opposing fans

Flagg might bring Duke hatred to new heights.

I'm rooting for State because 1 it's against Duke and 2 they fight for every rebound and loose ball. They are playing so hard right now and I miss that.

Give him some slack he’s never fully recovered from that knee injury

Right - for me it's also very personal.

State wins this thing easily. They got such an easy draw all the way to the FF. It’s annoying. This opponent isn’t used to the atmosphere of a big arena and they have such an inexperienced HC.

 

[BeachBumDeac]

Hahahaha fuck Duke

 

[iodeac]

How can you watch Burns play and root against the Pack. The guy is just smooth

It pays to have a building used to handling the biggest events in a city

Should have a picture of him when you look up "old-man game" in the dictionary

I don’t need to work hard to hate everything about either of these teams.

 

[Deacfreak07]

College athletics really is already dead if fans are taking joy in success of rivals.

Doesn’t look like a fair fight right now

 

[BeachBumDeac]

refs trying to give the game to duke

 

[daaberry]

Out of the coaching box like every moment of every game.

Never was. Burns just had a parade of soft pushovers between him and Edey.
