Other Games Tonight



  • @KirkIsMyHinrich Yep. Cal has a real love for ultra athletic guys that can’t shoot.

    It had been an issue with Self but then KU teams started taking way more threes. Hopefully this year is a blip, but the amount of attempts was still solid. Just need to make more.



  • Duke turning it over like road KU in the first 4 minutes.



  • For this season to be a blip, McBride and Braun are really going to have to shoot the hell out of the ball next season because none of our other guards will.



  • Zion fouls the hell outta everyone on the offensive glass.

    He’s not fouling, he’s big boned. Lol



  • Ward gets called for a foul because he’s big.



  • Sparty is doneski

    This didnt age well. Tied at 30



  • Williamson has 3 tackles on the game but only 2 fouls somehow.



  • Great end to the half by Michigan St.

    Not expecting anything out of Braun next year.



  • @KirkIsMyHinrich Refs don’t allow defense to be played against Williamson. He is the one initiating contact almost every time he gets the ball in the paint. He gets calls, but rarely gets anything called against. Having said that, he is damn good and may be unstoppable at the next level…



  • 72 years old and Coach K has no gray hair. It must be all the clean living, right?



  • A lot arm on that last MSU shot, damn tough to play a half of basketball with only 3 fouls with how much Zion bodies folks on both sides



  • Goodnight Duke.



  • Bye Duke. Officials tried.



  • Yes!! And all of those no calls hurt Dook. They would’ve had a chance if they didnt need to foul 3 times.



  • @kjayhawks That was the funniest thing, the commentators trying to explain that Duke still had 4 fouls to give before MSU was even in the 1-and-1 bonus. Good job, MSU.



  • Third time’s a charm. Duke should have lost the last 2. 'Bout time.



  • Big 12, Big 10, SEC, and ACC all with 1 team in the Final 4. I’m actually looking forward to watching it.



  • @kjayhawks @KirkIsMyHinrich The irony was quite delicious.



  • God, my Duke looking like road KU comment ended up being so on point. More turnovers than assists and anemic three point shooting.



  • People want to give KU jazz for choking. This dook team may get 4 guys in the lottery this summer and has arguably the best coach ever.



  • GO TO HELL DOOK



  • I generally don’t get a lot of personal satisfaction from other teams losing, but Duke and UK failing to make the final four on the same day is amazing. And I’m excited to hear commentary that isn’t exclusively about the Duke BlueZions in the Final 4 and Championship games.



  • And there will be a grand total of zero one and done kids in the final 4

    KU didn’t choke even a little bit this year. Just got absolutely whipped by a JR/SR laden team that was also more athletic.

    It’s interesting to look at actually.

    Austin Wiley #35 recruit JR, Brown basically unranked SR, Jared Harper #87 JR, Chuma Okeke (played until today) #47 SO, Doughty, McLemore and Dunbar all super low ranked guys but experienced too.

    Most coaches would do work with a roster where 9 of the 10 rotation players are JR/SR.



  • @BShark I was saying in general not necessarily this season. But yes I agree



  • @kjayhawks Yeah it’s a dumb narrative. The last “choke” I would say was the Stanford loss. People will point to the WSU loss but those two teams were almost identical according to advanced stats. That was a grotesque narrative based mis-seeding.



  • Awwww Crap - - all those all mighty OAD’S - -and none of them in the National final - -Dam lmao - - Couldn’t ask for a better day. - - N Carolina - - - -OUT - - - - -Duke - - - -OUT - - - - -Kentucky - - - -OUT - - - - - Gonzaga - - -OUT - DAM couldn’t ask for a better day other then Us being in the final 4.

    No more Mr Williamson - No more Mr Barrett just crushes me. - - -In all seriousness, - - - gonna be a long time before we see an athlete quite like Zion again - -he is just a freak - -having to duck you head so you don’t hit it on the back board with a block. - -shoots the three - - handles the ball - -guards in the open floor - -rebounds - -glad he is gone. - - I think this opens the tourney - -WIDE OPEN - - -I like Tech - -I like Auburn -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @BShark Yep KU should’ve been a 3 and WSU a 5. WSU also bad way more experience and we was down Alexander.



  • Michigan State shot 6 free throws the whole game!!! You always have to beat the refs and Duke.

    Ya what I was tellin my friend in the 2nd half - -saying how the hell does Duke only have 3 fouls this late in the game - - actually hurt them lol. - -smelt ACC all the way and then - - BAM Michigan State holds on - - awwww. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • And of coarse right below the final score on ESPN is “take aways from Duke loss to MSU” lmao cant make this shit up.

    Hell then you have the broadcasters rubbin Duke’s Ass all through the game - - -Rafferty when Duke had the ball - -Coaching Duke and tellin OK whoa slow it down when Zion had the ball - -don’t settle - -don’t know how many dam times I heard that from him



  • It wouldn’t have been a contest had Dook played thru Zion more. The past 3 chances they had, he didnt touch it. When you have a guy the refs refuse to call offensive fouls on and is that big/talented. Just give it to him and take it to the rack. They never played thru him enough IMO all year. Dedric got touches nearly every trip for us this year because that all we had. If Zion was in the same boat he may have been a 30 and 15 a night guy.

  • Now, the Bulls need to win that draft lottery so they can pick Zion! I didn’t see too many egregious calls favoring Duke, except for two out of bounds calls. One was around the 10:00 mark and a ball went off Zion and refs gave it to Duke who immediately made a 3 and then another 3. There was another on the sideline with about 3 minutes left where it appeared to go off of Duke, certainly the MSU players reaction was he didn’t touch it. There were a couple of maybe foul calls uncalled, but that actually hurt Duke at the end when they couldn’t make MSU shoot FT’s.

    To be fair, we all remember a year ago we received the benefit of a 50-50 charge/block call against Duke in crunch time, so there was at least once in the last 40 years that a call went against Duke!

    But wow, what a tremendous weekend of games. 2 OT games, two other last second wins, and a lot of drama Thursday and Friday as well. While the upsets are something to behold, they usually lead to dud games later on. This tournament, few upsets, few dud games.



  • @wissox overall the refs weren’t terrible, Dook shot 13 fts to MSUs 6. Zion got away with a couple pushes in the back and a few charges as per usual. But as I said earlier damn tough to play a half with a guy as physical as Zion with only 3 team fouls.





  • kjayhawks said:

    You’re making me vomit in my mouth a little bit. Best coach ever? Give me a break.



  • 4 top ten recruits in one class and no final four…choke job deluxe. Nike wants their money back 😂



  • @approxinfinity Haha I don’t think he is that’s why I put arguably lol, that’s just what people claim.



  • @dylans 4 top 10 recruits the last 2 years, Lost in Maui, lost in the E8 the last 2 years. The only thing they can claim is the ACC title from this season. hahaha



  • Interesting stat I just read on Dook, Barrett who tried to be the hero is 0-9 in the last 2 minutes of the 3 games they lost with Zion in the line up. Zion has one shot attempt in those games. All other players have 3 shots combine, there it is @approxinfinity , proof of shit coaching. They have refused to call Zion for offensive fouls all year, give the guy the ball and tell him to go to the hole and they prob win that game or he’s at the line to do so.



  • @kjayhawks

    Proof that Barrett is a chucker as well. He never saw a shot he didn’t like. He is fantastic but a ball hog at times



  • The disparity between the ever so quick whistles on Doke (to include a technical for what I believe was determined a facial expression violation) and the total opposite with Zion is unshakeable. Agree with you @kjayhawks, just give Zion the ball and the outcome is all but guaranteed.



  • Come on, let’s be real. Coach K is truly one in the discussion for greatest coach of all time. We may dislike him, complain, etc., but his record speaks for itself.

    If you could rewind back to 1990 and have any coach for the next three decades, who would it be?



  • @HighEliteMajor Roy and Bill are the ones in that bracket IMO.



  • Funny how K is whining about the forthcoming changes eliminating the OAD. His bread and butter is being taken away from him and he’s worried. He shouldn’t be worried because he’s won before the days of the OAD.

    Not sure I’m including K in the discussion for all time greatest coach. Wooden is #1 hands down. Classy, obviously recruiting was easy for him, although some claim he was dirty as dirt itself in his recruiting. But K’s collection of talent over the years should have led to many more titles. And one of the titles is so tainted in 2015 that it should have an asterisk next to it.
