I'd be ALL over Nova tonight if I still wagered.

Penetrate and dish.

Duke -2
330/300

Looks like Calapari still hasn't learned how to call a timeout before it is too late.

What good are a bunch of white boys if they can't hit open 3's? Oh well.

Coach K better thank his lucky stars he isn't UK's coach. They'd fire his ass.


Speaking of UK and firing...

I hope this doesn't come off as racist although I'm sure that to some it will and for that, I apologize. But yeah, you can't have that many white guys on the court at one time and none of them be named Bird, McHale, Stockton, or Nash. Not at this level of the game.

At the college level they don't even need to be named any of those. Duke is structured more like a midmajor now than anything and a midmajor can't win without a Bryce Drew or Valdez-Mendez and other shooters that can hit in the clutch. Right now they look like a bad three point shooting team which is pretty embarrassing since any of their recruits would be a prize recruit at any midmajor.

Absolute JUNK.



BEST. CONFERENCE. EVER.

Its too bad West Virginia and Marquette sh!t the bed in the tourney. Marquette had an excuse with the injury but without it and West Virginia taking a dump on the court against Dayton there would be a realistic shot of an Elite 8 of the Big East and North Carolina.

At some point Coach K decided not to recruit the one and done guys and they have suffered because of it. They have good players but no elite talents.

Was Pitt laying 4 and a hook tonight?

Those backdoor covers drive bettors on the losing end, up a wall. A less harsher version of Sniper's ND St. travesty.

As for the Duke/Nova game. I don't think I can recall such a poor effort offensively for Duke. That was a joke. Another joke was Scottie Reynolds and his clock management towards the end. If I was Wright and that game was a tad closer, I'd have yanked him and have him $hitting my shoelaces tomorrow.

Philly guys are tough...

Like Elton Brand didn't help them at all.

Agree 100%.

Reynolds gave the BDevils every chance to get back into the game. They just couldnt capitalize.

no comprende

Wasn't he the one that first went pro and led to them no longer recruiting guys that would leave early?

I seem to remember that Coach K told him he should go because he was going really high and couldnt risk it. Corey Maggette and some other guy that washed out were the ones I think pissed him off.

But they need a talent infusion. I know it is a stereotype but they really lack speed. One really good player could make them a final 4 team.

They need white guys that can hit threes.

I got Xavier +6 1/2. With all the FT's in the final minute, I thought Pitt might get the cheap cover. Not complaining, I talked myself out of playing the money line. Damn, Xavier only manages 18 points in the second half.

I'm all over Gonzaga tomorrow. I know they've disappointed thus far, but 8 1/2 is lunacy IMO..
