Sunday Games Thread...

The first 2 games of the day are the ones I'm most looking forward to.

I think we should consider tapping into the Purdue pipeline of 7'3" players raised on a farm, haha.

This is a little off-topic but can anyone see one of the Hurleys coming to Pitt?

 

[christophero]

I just watched the Michigan Houston ending. What a heartbreaking way to lose. Davis just missed 2 free throws. Michigan has gone to the Sweet 16 3 out of the last 5 years. That's impressive. Either Hurley would be a good get for Pitt, but I don't see him taking it.

 

[sgrooms]

This announcer is really bad at math. 3 minutes into the half he says it's 4 minutes. Now, 7 and a half minutes in and he calls it 9?

 

[dbav]

Butler keeping it close but I don't think they can finish strong enough.

 

[dbav]

Also, if the last game was any indication, I think Clemson stomps Auburn.

Hittin the bottle a little early today

It's weird seeing a Butler team with so many lapses on defense.

 

[denverexpat]

a step back 3 when down 2? dont get that play

 

[tripleb71]

That 3 Butler took was atrocious. Then they mismanaged clock, badly.

 

[tripleb71]

WVU has a rivalry game today so no matter how much better they are than Marshall, it may be a dogfight. But Nova might have hands full with WVU's pressure defense.

 

[dbav]

Good first game. I'm looking forward to the next one.

This is really the only time I watch anyone but us.

Do we think Louisville will be looking for a new coach in the offseason? That might be a hard one to turn down.

 

[denverexpat]

Butler cost me 20% in the ESPN bracket...poor game management - wasnt the butler i thought would show up against Purdue. Oh well..next game - lets go CUSE!

 

[tripleb71]

Canary in the mine time lol

Rumors are swirling here in the Cincinnati area that it's only a matter of time until Chris Mack (Xavier) goes to Louisville.

 

[ThemDukeBoys]

Does Cuse stand a chance against Michigan state?

 

[dbav]

I really like Tyus Battle.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Does Cuse stand a chance against Michigan state?

So far the zone is giving State trouble! Still very early though

 

[sgrooms]

This is a battle of ineptitude so far. This game is tough to watch.

 

[ThemDukeBoys]

That was an impressive flop

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Come on Cuse!!

 

[tripleb71]

If Cuse had anything that resembled an offense, they'd be up double digits.

 

[tripleb71]

That dude could have just dunked it instead of kicking it out to open up that flop lol

 

[dbav]

Key to beating MSU is forcing them into jumpshots?

 

[sgrooms]

That's just bad.

 

[ThemDukeBoys]

Beautiful and 1 by Howard

 

[denverexpat]

while msu is getting a look at zone against cuse we also get to see how they attack it.. and can be prepared if we do play MSU

 

[Kingbluedevil]

Syracuse can't throw it in the ocean, dang

 

[Duke1783]

It’s a good thing this game is on. I’m out of tylenol pm

 

[tripleb71]

Despite what the announcers were just talking after that one lone play, MSU has not figured out how to attack it.

 

[tripleb71]

Going to be hard for Cuse to win unless someone stands up to start hitting a shot. I cannot remember the last time Stracuse had a good offensive look.

 

[pisgah101]

Cuse is gunna win this

 

[BlueDaveil]

If we can hold MSU to 22 points in a half I certainly like our chances. Really wish they didn’t have an entire game to practice their zone offense (assuming they win).

 

[denverexpat]

while ugly...it does make for a close game. Key may to hold Bridges and Jackson close and let some other MSU player beat us if they can

 

[tripleb71]

Cuse is gunna win this

If they find offense, they will win handily.

 

[tripleb71]

Lol @ that lucky shot

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Yea what a lucky shot!

 

[sgrooms]

If they find offense, they will win handily.

I feel MSU wins this going away. They left a lot of points off the board in the first half, and I don't see that continuing. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Ioliva]

this game is huge for duke. Michigan state is really having trouble against the zone
