So I guess your bracket is totally done seeing as you had Pitt winning it all. Lmao well friend that seat on the Duke bandwagon is still open if you want to take a seat. You should be rooting for us to hand Butler a proper ass whooping again.

Duke is losing to Arizona, book it. Derrick Williams is a BEAST. I got em in the final losing to KU.

I'd rather masturbate with a Magic Bullet than root for Duke. Book it.

LOL please. Williams is a great player but he's really all they have. Arizona will suffer the same way as another 1-man in BYU will, and that's in upset. As Tycobb said, I'm doubting your chances of getting past Texas let alone playing us.

Duke won't win it all.






I feel bad for Nasir Robinson on Pitt, but at the same time, Pitt never should have been tied with Butler. We should have had at least a five point buffer.

Who has us winning it all? I certaintly don't. But with the addition of Irving I don't think there's a team short of Ohio State or Kansas that can beat us. I have Kansas winning it all btw. Well the game could've gone either way. Two idiot plays were made, but it just so happens your idiot was the nail in the coffin.

From what I saw today Duke almost lost to a mediocre team from a mediocre Big Ten... have fun when Derrick Williams manhandles your defense next game.

Texas gave Arizona that game with that stupid 5 sec. violation. Also, I'm not worried about Williams going off on us, Texas has shown that if you have enough big bodies you can throw him off his game. Kelly, Plumlee Brothers, Singler. I think we'll be fine. I wonder if Arizona will have fun when Nolan, Singler, Curry, and Irving take over get all their bigs in foul trouble and keeps Derrick's ass on the bench.

And you're underrating Michigan. They're a respectable team with a fantastic guard in Darius Morris. I bet you Pitt would have a tough time against them as well.

Texas was robbed today, bad calls all across the board in that game.

How do those two fouls get called at the end of the Pitt-Butler game, but nothing gets called at the end of the Texas game?

I believe that the refs go out and officiate games with agendas in mind. UNC and Arizona will make more money for the tourney than Texas or Washington, so all the questionable calls that were made were in favor of UNC and Arizona. There is no reason that Arizona or UNC for that matter should still be in it. The Washington coach was asked after the game did his try and get the refs to watch the replay, he said he did and that the ref said quickly "they already saw it" and him and his cronies walked off the court in a quick fashion. It's just frustrating that crooked officiating happens each and every season and it costs the small schools an opportunity to gain notoriety. Arizona will get theirs Thursday and UNC will get theirs soon enough.

Sorry about the confusion, I'm not calling Texas, Washington, or Pitt small schools. I'm just talking about the overall officiating that goes on during the tournament whenever a lesser known school tries their go at a big program. Some of the small schools can ball just as good as some of the "big boys". And there was no screwing in the Pitt game, your guy just flat out made a stupid decision.
