Friday NCAA Tournament Game Thread

[DJnVa]

"The world's highest bar?"
 
Seemed like a struggle to get there...and see the blonde chick waiting for you already.  Slackers.

 

[ifmanis5]

Watching this at work with a bunch of Duke alums in the room. Painful.

 

[CSteinhardt]

New Mexico on their way to losing another game to a top-3 academic school.

 
Princeton and MIT aren't in the tournament.

 

[mabrowndog]

Baylor has doubled up Nebraska, 32-16.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Duke is 4-for-20 inside the 3 point line.  Even if they win this game, they can't sustain this success from 3(and withstand no post play) for long.

 

[Blue Monkey]

Baylor has doubled up Nebraska, 32-16.

Ugh quick edit guy!!

 

[mabrowndog]

Ugh quick edit guy!!

 
It's a gift. My fingers are actually elephant feet.

 

[canderson]

Um, someone tell New Mexico the game's started. For my bracket's sake, at least.

 

[Grimace-HS]

Mercer is still hanging in there....down 3 with 4:00 mins.

 

[mabrowndog]

Bad Mercer possession there after a huge Duke turnover. Can't let those opportunities pass without cashing in. They never moved the ball to the right side.

 

[Jeff Van GULLY]

Um, someone tell New Mexico the game's started. For my bracket's sake, at least.

 
Seriously. 5 points?!

 

[mascho]

Sweet possession Duke.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

So, other than Parker, no one with any post-up skills or even willingness whatsoever?

 

[mabrowndog]

Um, someone tell New Mexico the game's started. For my bracket's sake, at least.

 
Lobos on a 5-0 run!!!!
 
EDIT - Make it 8-0!!!!!

 

[RedOctober3829]

So, other than Parker, no one with any post-up skills or even willingness whatsoever?

Nope.  They are terrible underneath.  They live and die by the 3.

 

[Grimace-HS]

The meat grinder of the ACC did prep Duke for this game, but c'mon Mercer....pull this one out.

 

[Ed Hillel]

If Duke loses, does Parker go back? I want Parker in this draft.

 

[johnmd20]

Seeing the Lehigh highlights never gets old.

 

[wibi]

I really want Duke to go down here

 

[mabrowndog]

Like I said, Mercer needs to move the ball to the right side.
 
Anthony White Jr. is CASH MONEY.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Good thing for public safety, not a long drive from Raleigh to Durham.

 

[johnmd20]

Chris Weber makes some pretty good faces. He also looks like he's 26 years old.

 

[Grimace-HS]

If Duke loses, does Parker go back? I want Parker in this draft.

I doubt it....top 3 pick, possibly #1; would be tough to pass up.
 
Tie game....

 

[mabrowndog]

I love how Chris Webber refused to participate in the 30-for-30 film on the Fab Five, but has no problem plastering his face all over TV for Burger King commercials.

 

[DJnVa]

So Webber really wears a Webber jersey?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

lee-high, lee-high

 

[shawnrbu]

Coach K should probably pass on the "one and done" players going forward. 

 

[scottyno]

what took the ref 2 feet from the play staring right at it so long to call the obvious trip

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Wow.  Mercer up 2 with 2.

 

[mabrowndog]

The looks of dejection on the Duke bench are already evident, burying faces in hands with each made free throw by the Bears.

 

[CaptainLaddie]

WOW!  That was pathetic!

 

[mabrowndog]

what took the ref 2 feet from the play staring right at it so long to call the obvious trip

 
Yeah, he did take an eternity to blow the whistle.

 

[ifmanis5]

Even if they win Duke looks like crap.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hmmmm, that's a dubious call. The ball was definitely contacted.

 

[Grimace-HS]

Great defense....very composed in these past few minutes.

 

[mpx42]

Watching this at work with a bunch of Duke alums in the room. Painful.

 
How are they doing now?

 

[CaptainLaddie]

OH SHIT

 

[mabrowndog]

WHAT A PASS BY HALL!!! WOW!!

 

[Ed Hillel]

BOOOM

 

[DJnVa]

HOLY SHIT

 

[mascho]

Wow.

 

[wibi]

Coach K face sure looks a lot like the Manning face

 

[ifmanis5]

 
How are they doing now?

Squirming.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Rodney Hood stealingfrom Duke to give to Mercer

 

[canderson]

If Duke loses the Jimmy Fund might get a big donation from me. Just 'cause fuck Duke.

 

[DJnVa]

what took the ref 2 feet from the play staring right at it so long to call the obvious trip

 
He was playing advantage.

 

[Grimace-HS]

That was a pro pass....awesome.  Finish them....

 

[mabrowndog]

Coursey is lucky they didn't call goaltending there. He hung on the rim while the ball was still bouncing around above the cylinder.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Watching this at work with a bunch of Duke alums in the room. Painful.

pics please

 

[CaptainLaddie]

Duke gon' lose.
