Arizona/Wisconsin and ND/Kentucky

Love when the best teams make the last few rounds. These two teams can easily be said to be the 2nd/3rd best teams in the country.

Good luck Jon.

It did. Wisconsin was awesome and the rest of the conference was awful. Izzo is working his magic but this is not a very talented team and they looked terrible at times this season. The announcers were just saying the exact same thing.

Maryland had a great regular season too. It's their post-season wasn't so great.

There's a couple of insufferable douches that typically show up after a Duke win. Pretty much what you'd expect a Duke fan to be, that's these guys
I am  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 3/29/2015 5:46 pm : link
I want to see Duke vs. Kentucky. I want to see Okafor vs. KAT. I want to see Justice and WCS on the big stage. I want to see K vs. Cal.

I'd prefer to see Izzo troll them all though.

After watching Kaminsky flop all over the court and bitch, moan and complain all weekend is for UW to lose. And lose in spectacular fashion. I hope to see KAT pimp slap him on the offensive end. Dude plays ball like a douchebag.
I'm surprised

Similar for me.
a referee

who has no view of it somehow changes a call and not surprising he was wrong.

How does it feel having your program run by a scumbag and a fraud?

B in ALB : 3/29/2015 6:29 pm : link
awful call. Part for the course when that happens.
you have to run Matt Jones  
MookGiants : 3/29/2015 6:30 pm : link
off of the 3 point line. He's not great off the dribble
Okafor  
MookGiants : 3/29/2015 6:31 pm : link
shoves Karnowski and they somehow don't call a foul. I guess Karnowski stumbled on his own, right.

What does Kaminsky flopping all over the court the entire weekend have to do with Syracuse?

And your statement couldn't be farther from the truth. You know next to nothing about Cuse. But carry on and congrats on the F4.
Another 2 points  
MookGiants : 3/29/2015 6:32 pm : link
handed to Duke because the refs are incompetent. Karnowski didn't trip over his own two feet, he got pushed by Okafor. All you needed to know was after he got pushed, Okafor threw his hands up in the air like he didn't do anything, dead giveaway
Romo and Garrett rooting for Duke...

and Duke fit like a glove.
both of these teams  
PaulBlakeTSU : 3/29/2015 6:38 pm : link
are capable of playing great basketball. Gonzaga has some serious size and I hope they finally get the credit they deserve. They were legit all season. And with the 3-point shooters Duke has to knock down looks when Tyus and Okafor are creating, they can score on anyone.

I think either one of these teams would give Kentucky a better game should they beat Wisconsin.
can't keep letting  
MookGiants : 3/29/2015 6:38 pm : link
Jones shoot threes. He made a nice move there to get back open but that's pretty much all he wants to do is shoot threes. Have to make him a driver not a shooter.
What is Karnowski  
MookGiants : 3/29/2015 6:40 pm : link
supposed to do there? He goes straight up and gets called for a foul. Even moron Grant Hill knows it was a terrible call.
Okafor not really impressing me -  
Del Shofner : 3/29/2015 6:48 pm : link
it's crunch time and he's not around the ball that much.
That was a clean block.

It seems like  
PaulBlakeTSU : 3/29/2015 6:53 pm : link
Okafor has slimmed down from all the playing this season and I think it has made him less effective. He has a fantastic post game but is not explosive and unathletic. It seems as if he's in a transition period where he has slimmed down but hasn't yet put on the grown-man muscle that he'll need to dominate at the next level

Duke hanging on though.
Now Wiltjer  
MookGiants : 3/29/2015 6:57 pm : link
is forcing things. This one is just about over. Gonzaga just not nearly good enough offensively today. Can't use the background as an excuse, Duke has to deal with same thing.

What is a fucking joke is that Duke got the #3 overall seed when they didn't win either the conference tournament or regular season title, so their road to the title game is much easier than Wisconsin's or Kentucky.
This karnowski guy for Gonzaga has been throwin  
ODBeast : 3/29/2015 6:58 pm : link
Dimes for the zags all game really impressed
Gonzaga  
MookGiants : 3/29/2015 6:59 pm : link
just didn't hit shots. Duke did. They made the big ones. They withstood the run by Gonzaga early 2h. Hate em but they were a better team today.

I will say this though, Okafor has been the 4th or 5th best Duke player in this tournament. Thoroughly unimpressed with him in this small sample.

Which actually makes it more impressive that Duke got to the Final Four if you think about it. Winslow and Tyus Jones are legit players.

Unless something shocking happens we're going to see Duke-Kentucky on April 6, which will be one of the highest-rated national championship games ever for CBS
Wiltjers layup  
Kyle in NY : 3/29/2015 7:08 pm : link
would have tied the game at 53. Now it's 66-52. Too bad.
All is right in the world  
Rob in CT/NYC : 3/29/2015 7:09 pm : link
Duke is back in the Final Four, and Mook is being a massive cunt.

You can be sure if Okafor went to Carolina, Mook would be singing a different tune and would probably know what he tastes like....
