Final Four: Duke/MSU [open thread]
They should draft Trey Lyles from UK if they lose Monroe.
I'm in denial about this final four. I'm rooting for Gonzaga over Xavier.
Nairn off the side of the back board. Wow.
haha
Sparty getting clocked inside.
Refs never let Duke lose. At least that has been my experience.
with Dukes bigs.
How do they call that 2nd foul?! Holy shit that was weak
Costello or Schilling.

Of course, I'd be happy with watching them crash and burn for the rest of the night.

So the same as every game?
let's go Duke!!!
Duke should win by over 20, but officials will keep it around 10.
Welcome to the Final Four.
I don't know if they've done this team stream thing before, but its pretty cool if you're a homer for one of the teams.
Okafor vs. Walleman could be pretty comical if Coach K wants it.
this pace, especially on defense.
Oh shit, I"m the first one down court. No one to pass it to.

MSU is falling for every shot fake.
This is becoming fun to watch
He could hold two balls in that hand

These refs suck. Although I'm sure they'll suck less for duke in the second half
So far this game is going exactly how I expected...MSU comes out emotional, punches Duke in the mouth then realizes it's really not THAT good.
I said 72-58, I'll stick to that.
MSU is a Sweet 16 (losing) level team. Duke is a Final Four team.
but someone pointed out that they won 4 games, so I guess they deserve to be here.
But really, that's what has to happen at this point. They're going to continually get mauled inside for the rest of the night.

...but the Final Four level team is the better team and that is the team that should win more times than not.
No question MSU could win, but Duke should win. In a 7 game series, Duke would win in 5 or 6 games. But yes, MSU could win a game - Michigan could beat either of these teams. But that's not really the point, if both play they're best, Duke is flat out better.
My feelings as well. They had a good draw and won a bunch of close-ish games. They were underseeded a bit, but there is a huge chasm between the MSU's of the world and the other three teams this weekend. Any other bracket and they'd have been out last week.
He's had some HORRIBLE tournament draws (Michigan, SF Austin, underseeded OSU)...Wichita St. had that last year having to play UK in the 2nd round. Gonzaga had that 3 years ago having to play Wichita St. in the 2nd round.
MSU had the opposite of that...and that sometimes happens, hell, most folks feel Duke always gets that draw. But MSU had a dream scenario to get to this point. Put them in the region with Wisconsin, Arizona and UNC and they don't come close.
You couldn't script this any better.
I will take you to the Final Four. And then we will lose.
So very punchable...
