just looked at spread....not sure how Duke is a 3 point favorite over Kansas....in Omaha. If Kansas hits their shots, not even expecting it to be that close.  |

Maybe because Kansas is traditionally not trustworthy. I would never bet on them that’s for sure and I never want Duke to win lol. |

Yeah, when Duke gets this far in the tournament, they usually go even further. Bill Self teams are known to underperform their seed. I think they have had a pretty good draw to get to this point (I didn't think much of Clemson), although Duke didn't get Michigan State, either.
Duke clearly has more talent, but maybe Graham will come up big and Duke's young kids will wilt. We'll see. |

| ref's are starting to look like Blue Devil fans....total bs call on Mykhailiuk stepping out of bounds....first the replay clearly showed he passed before stepping out....but much worse he was clearly fouled by Carter who had 4 fouls. |

I considered Kansas and Duke pretty much a coin toss to come out of the MW region, but over the years, I've had a few brackets busted because Self couldn't get his teams out of the Elite 8. So I picked Duke.
In the closing moments of a close game, Coach K is about as good as it gets when it comes to play calls. |

The ref called that the ball was OB, not Svi. And I'm no Duke apologist, but I think that would've been a cheap 5th foul. |

So after watching all these games, anyone want to join me on the Jalen Brunson bandwagon with the first round pick?
Solid IQ, great playmaker, knock down shooter, tough as nails. IMO 3rd best PG in this year's draft behind Young and Sexton. If Nova wins this thing, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets Tounament MVP.
Would have no problems running the 2nd unit, playing alongside his former Nova teammate, Josh Hart. He's good enough to bring pressure on Zo to improve his game, I think like Hart, he's a ready now player who needs no time in the G-League to get his game together. |

| What a horrendous call. On Duke. I'm as stunned as anyone. That was as obvious a charge as you'll ever see. |

| Wow. Duke with 3 turnovers in the final two minutes or so and that should do it. |

On the other call, I'm just saying that the call wasn't that the player was OB, the ref called that he dribbled the ball on the line. It was very close on the replay. |

| be interesting to see the line on 'Nova vs. Kansas....it will come down to who makes their shots. The 'Nova that played WVU probably has the edge on Kansas....but the 'Nova that played Texas Tech will likely lose to Kansas. |

Nova has opened -5. Michigan has also opened -5. |

The standings are interesting. Here is how I think it all shakes out:
Michael (whoever that is) leads in points, but is done (no more points possible). I think he wins if the final is Kansas and Loyola. As far as I can tell, no one had either of those teams in the final.
Misterioso wins if Villanova beats Michigan in the final.
TooMuch wins if Villanova beats Loyola in the final.
KobeJaws wins if Michigan wins the final or if Kansas beats Michigan.
The rest of us have gone fishing. |

| I just need Nova to win the next game and I can move up a bit in the standings. I had Arizona winning it all so I can't get any more than that. |
