I do agree they could have called a lot more fouls on Arkansas, but they are saving those for the Duke game

Absolutely. Should have been 3:1 fouls. 19:11 with 3 minutes to go was too little of a gap.

 

[Lazlo7]

I got the feeling this is K's last game, his one and done players seem to play like players play for Cal "Get me to the NBA I could care less about you or the school."

 

[Player2020]

Do you have any idea how many billions of dollars are bet on this tournament? Why they have it, and why they rig it are closely related.

That was a Doug Shows special tonight. Seen it way too many times.

Gonzaga still could have won though. They didn’t put the ball in the basket. Knock down enough shots and the refs can’t cheat you.

Since you believe it's rig why do you watch it and spend hours on message board lol

 

[jessieshorts8]

I'm not sad that the jerk Juwan Howard is out of the tourney.

 

[UKUGA]

I actually like the Zags. Would have rather seen them win the title than anyone else in the field outside of Iowa State or St Peters lol. I still think Zona wins but who knows.

I don’t like them at all, and most any other year, I would be rooting for the SEC team against them.


But this year, it’s just too much.

And I seriously doubt that I will be back next year.

It seems to be only getting worse.

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

Why would you even watch a tournament that you believe is rigged?

 

[ck-2]

Texas Tech should clearly win because Dooks players haven’t been to the tournament.

 

[JoeSwag]

Maybe someone will eventually realize they play in a cupcake conference and are not as good as their record shows each year.

Again, I don’t have an issue with Gonzaga but they are becoming the Notre Dame of college basketball.

 

[oboroCATfan]

Right. THE dumbest thing. Ever. And the thousands and thousands of players who have dribbled out the clock in that situation were all idiots too.

I don’t really care if he dunked. I just don’t like Arkansas. I don’t like their style, and I don’t like their coach.

So I expected them to show as little class as possible, and they didn’t disappoint. [laughing]

I don’t know about kids dribbling it out being idiots but I do think criticizing kids having fun kind of leans that way.

 

[UKUGA]

Why would you even watch a tournament that you believe is rigged?

For some of the the same reasons that I used to watch reruns of “Dallas”.

 

[hotelblue]

you can tell tech’s defense in the half court is good. can they score enough and stay out of foul trouble is the question.

 

[hotelblue]

3 baskets from their defense. that’ll work.

 

[al.ksr]

Duke came back from down 5 in 5 minutes??? Amazing! Never been anything like it!

 

[UKUGA]

Wow. Those last 3 possessions looked like a little league game (the dunking aside).

 

[Noxium322]

Damn son.

 

[wkucat88]

Duke is slow. Gonna be a long night for them.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Duke has them right where they want them. No way Texas Tech can continue this type of game with Duke having HOF players at every position and the greatest coach of all time on the bench.

 

[Cat in ga]

Run these motha ******* out the gym

 

[sam_o]

Anybody that thought Duke was going to walk through Texas Tech hasn’t watched Tech play basketball this year.

 

[RunninRichie]

Duke came back from down 5 in 5 minutes??? Amazing! Never been anything like it!

''wow''-Bill Raferty after duke comes back 5 with 5 mins left.

 

[RunninRichie]

Anybody that thought Duke was going to walk through Texas Tech hasn’t watched Tech play basketball this year.

Mark Adams can coach.

 

[bluedog79]

Texas Tech give me one more 10-2 spurt and I might have to change my pants and smoke a cig

 

[RunninRichie]

announcers sound sad

 

[UKUGA]

announcers sound sad

Well, Grant Hill is there.

And they are also thinking, “how do we get excited for Arkansas-Texas Tech?”

 

[RunninRichie]

that would have been a offensive foul on anybody but Duke. Get the **** out of here.

 

[UKUGA]

How about either a) try and block the shot, or b) get out of the way !?!

 

[sam_o]

Duke responds. Going to be a good one.

 

[Noxium322]

Shows would've called a foul on that official.

 

[sam_o]

Throw him out!!

 

[ScottGreene22]

Houston plays D.too

 

[UKUGA]

I really hate that both of these games are at the same time.

 

[EliteBlue]

They didn't even call that intentional.

It wasn’t. Sure he fouled “on purpose” but He had a hand on the ball. If a Kentucky player made that exact play we’d lose our collective minds if they called it intentional w our guy making contact on the ball.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

Funny listening to these guys get a little more enthusiasm in their voice when Duke makes a play.

 

[Aike]

I don’t know about kids dribbling it out being idiots but I do think criticizing kids having fun kind of leans that way.

Ok buddy. You convinced me. Love those classy hogs now. I’ve seen the light.

 

[Cat in ga]

Duke traveled at least 3 times and committed like 4 fouls and no whistle. Shocker there

 

[EliteBlue]

I really hate that both of these games are at the same time.

Same. At least stagger it by an hour if you’re concerned w one team getting 2-3 more hours of rest than their next opponent

 

[UKUGA]

Ok buddy. You convinced me. Love those classy hogs now. I’ve seen the light.

I bet you hate kids.

 

[Aike]

It wasn’t. Sure he fouled “on purpose” but He had a hand on the ball. If a Kentucky player made that exact play we’d lose our collective minds if they called it intentional w our guy making contact on the ball.

I’m not sure. They went through a stretch where any foul from behind like that with a vulnerable player was a flagrant. Didn’t really matter if you got ball or not. That one was a little close.

 

[hotelblue]

this is the key stretch for tech. if duke gets to 40 in this half and it’s a high scoring game they have little chance. have to keep it ugly somehow.

 

[Aike]

I bet you hate kids.

Yep
