Red Sea parted.

We all should have seen it the minute Coach k announced his retirement the crap was destined to happen

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

The sooner you can accept the prospect of another Duke title the easier it’ll be.

 

[hotelblue]

lol

 

[katwest]

Do you hear the crowd, can you believe that the crowd is for duke in San Francisco. There sure is a lot of bandwagon fans out there.

 

[MbergCat]

This is sickening

 

[richbrookstomato]

Sean Sutton sighting in the Texas Tech huddle.

 

[bookerfan66]

Duke made the plays they had to.

 

[Jacobbleedsblue]

Wish they'd show that again. Didn't look like a foul

 

[Cat in ga]

Gift wrapped

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Lmao. No foul there whatsoever.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Nice bail out call by the refs there

 

[Cat in ga]

Wow

 

[UKUGA]

We all should have seen it the minute Coach k announced his retirement the crap was destined to happen

I think most of us did.

We just hoped beyond hope that something would take them down.

They aren’t even very good. Three home losses.

We all did, we just didn't want to believe.

 

[Farsight]

When they want dUKe and UNCheat to win, the refs will gift wrap it for them. That's why you got to kill both teams

 

[Bluespade44]

Our coach is the worst! If Banchero was at UK he wouldn’t have played.

 

[Aike]

Now they cheat

 

[hotelblue]

all that and the refs still had to save them. the duke player lost the ball and got free throws.

 

[katwest]

Duke made the plays they had to.

So did the refs about 4 or 5 times.

 

[Aike]

Nice how aggressive Duke can be with their 5 little fouls

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Tech has received no break calls down the stretch.

Predictable.

They do have 4 first rounders they are talented I though the guard play would t be good enough, roach turning into a good pg wasn’t something I thought would happen

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Duke definitely made some plays. Tech had a couple brain cramps. The refs still made a couple of phantom calls.

 

[UKUGA]

Nice how aggressive Duke can be with their 5 little fouls

these last 2 to 3 minutes are the first time I’ve seen them play with this much defensive intensity

 

[Crawfords Corner]

AJ Griffin aint missing any of these. Dude is clutch.

 

[UKUGA]

They do have 4 first rounders they are talented I though the guard play would t be good enough, roach turning into a good pg wasn’t something I thought would happen

And yet, they still have needed the officials to aid them two games in a row.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Also the minute the man had the 30 minute funeral ego boost on ESPN after the North Carolina loss is when everybody should have known

 

[hotelblue]

duke has more talent and made plays down the stretch. i really thought tech played the better game though.

 

[UKUGA]

Duke definitely made some plays. Tech had a couple brain cramps. The refs still made a couple of phantom calls.

They performed well after the refs showed them they were in their corner.

 

[UKortho]

And of course Dukes freshman hits both crucial free throws.

 

[bookerfan66]

Texas Tech did some stupid things near the end.

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

The only team standing between Duke and a final four is Arkansas.

 

[UKUGA]

That band is planning to have a great time in San Fran tonight

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

K will be gracious like always in the handshake line

 

[al.ksr]

I guess Satan isn't coming to collect K's soul just yet.

 

[richbrookstomato]

I HATE DUKE!!!!

K makes me want to PUKE!!!!

Arky won't beat them either.

 

[Shaudylo]

must be nice to hit clutch fts

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

The only team standing between Duke and a final four is Arkansas.

Not particularly reassuring

 

[ukfan041]

Execution down the stretch for dUKe was key! Makes me sick, but they’re going to the Final 4

 

[track42]

Can this nightmare basketball season get any worse?
