So it's another snowbound night in Green Bay.

Original Six CHI-DET matchup on NBCSN right now (this is Mike Tirico's hockey announcing debut--curious to see how he does).

UNC-DUKE on the worldwide leader a little later. - Who you got?

Paper hotel cup filled with some Terrapin Hopsecutionner (ATL) - What you got?

Wife and kids better have that driveway completely shoveled before I get home.

Tillman with 19/10 with the extra load. Big dropoff after him, but Teske still has his work cut out for him Sunday.

Thankfully Vitale is not calling this game.

 

The Maize Rage needs a crash course in being a good student section. They need to learn from the Duke crowd. Student section needs to be larger and far rowdier.

The current Duke student section needs a crash course from their Duke parents.  The late 80’s, early 90’s crowds were far more creative and rowdy.

Example: Throwing Twinkies on the court at GT’s slightly overweight Dennis Scott.

If Zion tore his knee on that play, that will be the biggest freak (non gruesome) injury I've seen to a big time player. His shoe just completely exploded

Carolina and Duke is basically a street ball game. Run down the court as fast as you can and shoot a three. They rarely run plays in the half court. It's either a fast break or someone does iso.

 I am watching North Carolina kill Duke here (granted, Zion is not playing),  and I am thinking North Carolina would kill us. Then I remembered  that we already played them, and we killed them.   That is a good memory.

I mean do you have a counterpoint? Almost all of the losses between UNC and Duke are to teams with excellent coaches who run a system designed to overwhelm more talented teams. Duke lost to Gonzaga and Syracuse, both experienced teams with less talented players that get buy on scheme and discipline. UNC lost to Michigan in a game where UNC's offense was absolutely shut down because they couldn't run out. Obviously they're legendary coaches, but don't look me in the eye and say that Williams or Coach K would be nearly as successful if they had to switch rosters with Beilein. Since Beilein came to Michigan, he and Coach K have the same amount of Final Fours. That's not a coincidence

I feel like Duke is basically staying in the game better without Zion because they are playing a team like NC.  If this was a defensive and half court game like Virginia or Syracuse, Duke would be struggling worse. Their stars are better in the transition game and Carolina cant hit enough outside shots to open it up.

Drinking some Kostritzer while I wade through Duke-UNC tweets.

If I am Nike's marketing guy in the southern US, I am too invested in some furious e-mail exchanges at the moment due to the Zion Williamson injury.

Red Wings mounting a comeback against the despised Black Hawks. They cut the lead to 4-3 mid-way through the 3rd. Dylan Larkin is having a monster game with 2 goals and an assist.
