Michigan State game  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:01 pm : link
really slowed down over the last 15 minutes.
Utah  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:05 pm : link
is missing a ton of easy shots
why  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:16 pm : link
is Utah playing way off Winslow? He's not a great 3 point shooter but he's more than capable
Utah  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:17 pm : link
misses another gimme.
Incredible that Utah is  
MaineGiantFan : 3/27/2015 11:18 pm : link
within 7 after all these TO's.
the turnovers  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:18 pm : link
arent hurting them as much as missing point blank layups/tip ins.
Those have certainly hurt as well Mook

Winslow  
jamesmichaelworm : 3/27/2015 11:21 pm : link
Great two way player
TO, TO  
MaineGiantFan : 3/27/2015 11:22 pm : link
Travel. Ugh
Utah  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:24 pm : link
just doesn't have nearly enough offense tonight. Duke's defense is dogshit too outside of Winslow they are all below average, some way below average. Just a no show by a bunch of Utah players on offense.
Utah has shut down Okafor offensively  
Anakim : 3/27/2015 11:25 pm : link
but the other players are just picking up the slack

Jones is so so.

Cook is atrocious.
the press  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:28 pm : link
has caused all kinds of issues for Utah. They look like they've never seen one before.
Utah  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:31 pm : link
has 16 offensive rebounds and only ten points off of thsoe offensive rebounds. That's pathetic. No surprise seeing how many point blank shots they've missed
Sparty finally ties it up..

Is Okafor in foul trouble?  
Anakim : 3/27/2015 11:35 pm : link
He didn't even try to defend there
Duke  
dep026 : 3/27/2015 11:37 pm : link
slowed things down for no reason. Played right into Utes hands.
Utah  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:38 pm : link
should start playing hack a okafor
Who didn't see that line coming...  
Anakim : 3/27/2015 11:41 pm : link
And terrible recovery by Okafor there
where  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:41 pm : link
did Winslow get fouled? We'd be here the entire night watching a free throw competition if thats a foul
and there's no such thing  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:42 pm : link
as continuation in college, so if that's a foul then it's on the floor.

Mook your biased shows every Duke game....we get it you like unc and Duke stinks.
tell  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:42 pm : link
me where the foul was. There wasn't one, play on and an 8 point Duke lead.
Fucking commercials. ..

Is a gamer! Always seems to hit the shot at the right time to kill the opponents momentum.

still agree with the foul??
there wasn't one  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:44 pm : link
if you think that's a foul, then there would be 100 fouls called per half.
Utah can't put the ball in the ocean  
dpinzow : 3/27/2015 11:45 pm : link
they're not losing because of the refs
Why is Utah  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:46 pm : link
not fouling Okafor? Instead they foul an 88% free throw shooter. If Duke wants to have Okafor on the floor right now make them pay for it
their shooting  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:46 pm : link
100% is costing them the game, just annoying to see fouls called like that. There was nothing there, let Winslow play on and get his 2 and play on.

let me guess Duke is getting every call too
I just knew Mich State was going to make a run in the tourney

outside of about a 5 minute spurt  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:48 pm : link
refs have been fine. I still would like to know where he was fouled though.
How come Staubach is a Duke fan?  
Anakim : 3/27/2015 11:49 pm : link
?
okafor  
melojeteli4 : 3/27/2015 11:49 pm : link
Is shit on a stick. Knicks are cursed! He can score on half decent college kids, but he gonna get his shit pushed in once he hits the league. Justice will be a better pro!

He and Calvin Hill (Grant Hill's father) were teammates and probably good friends so that's probably the connection
Winslow  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:50 pm : link
will be an OK pro but doesn't do anything well enough offensively to ever be a real good player.

Okafor is not shit on a stick. Definitely has some warts and I wouldn't take him #1 but he has a lot of positives, too.
21,000 in Houston  
Jints in Carolina : 3/27/2015 11:51 pm : link
in a football stadium...should've played it in the Rockets arena.
im not sure why K  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:51 pm : link
has Okafor in the game right now. The only way they lose is if he misses free throws

Definitely...basketball is not meant to be played in football stadiums. The background behind the hoops negatively effects the quality of play as shooters aren't used to it

I couldn't imagine being in the seats behind the basket a 1/4 mile away from the action
they use these games  
MookGiants : 3/27/2015 11:58 pm : link
in domes as rehearsals for final fours. It's shitty but until the final four model changes this isnt ever changing. And the final four model is never going back to a 20k seat arena.

I went to Ford Field in 2009 and bought good seats, thankfully. Had a friend who had seats in upper corner and without question he was better off sitting home, a mile away from court. For the final four they now put the court right in the middle of the field so they can put 70-75k in the place. They used to put it in the endzone. But with that setup could only get 35k or so
I believe they started doing it with the Superdome  
MaineGiantFan : 3/28/2015 12:03 am : link
Back in the early 90's...no?
the last  
MookGiants : 3/28/2015 12:05 am : link
final four not played in a dome was 1996, at the Continental Airlines Arena (now the shuttered IZOD center)
Enough

with these fucking Buick commercials! Make it stop!!!!!!

melojeteli4 : 3/28/2015 12:21 am : link
With 6pts and 7boards and outplayed by pickle. Such a shit year for the knicks to have the #1 pick. Ugh
if Duke  
MookGiants : 3/28/2015 12:39 am : link
gets by Gonzaga they have a free ride to the championship game.
Winslow is a hell of a player  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 3/28/2015 12:41 am : link
he has looked like the best player in the tournament the past 2 rounds. He is just impressive as hell and looks like a great NBA prospect.

The top 4 prospects of Okafor/Towns/Russell/Mudiay has pretty much been set for a while now. But I feel like WCS and Winslow at 5/6 are just as set in stone now. And that's just a friggin' amazing Top 6.

Travis Trice is a cold blooded killer. If Winslow wasn't the best player of the last 2 rounds, Trice was.

Izzo and Pitino sneaking into the Elite 8. Coach K and Duke taking care of business into the Elite 8. I'm happy that Cal's not the only brand name at this point, it would've been annoying if he was.
