Too frustrating to watch a single second of this game.

3s legit just dont fall against NC State

Next year, we need to sell our souls for the same devil magic.

I'm going to sleep at night by telling me we ran into a team of destiny.

Here's a question.

Can a team from a Power 6 conference be considered a Cinderella story?

In my book, when a team full of older players ekes into the NCAA tournament and then wins several games, my question for them is "What the heck were you doing all season to have such a crappy record?"

Similar to the UCLA team a couple of years ago that played in Dayton with an 11 seed and ended up almost taking down Gonzaga in a semifinal.

The NC State players should be sending some nice thank you gifts to Virginia for making this all possible by choking away a game they had in the bag.

I'm really hoping for the UConn-Purdue final now to ensure that the title is won by a team that earned it by playing well for 5 months instead of just 3 weeks.

Duke freshman get it done. Marquette vets cower in fear and miss everything and throw the ball away.. fuc k in losers.

Bump

Wasn't '83 NC State a Cinderella story? Nova over Georgetown?

And face it these stories are cool. Sucks when it happens to your team, but they're on a fun journey.

[MuggsyB]

Uhhhhh......."That fat guy" is pretty damn good.  He's a significantly bigger Zack Randolph and he's absolutely abused this Duke team and Fillapowski. 

[Zog from Margo]

How could Scheyer not have his team prepared?

[jesmu84]

Sure looks like shaka and Co had the correct gameplan for Burns

I save the term for teams like Loyola and St. Peter's and Butler.

Not in first half, we doubled way too high.

Even still, We make even a bad % of 3pt shots and we win. And of course dont throw 3 balls into the stands.

[Fred Garvin]

5 three point shots made in the whole game

[wisblue]

This looks like a case of age before beauty.

Before those last few garbage time threes, Marquette and Duke were a combined 7 for 47 from distance vs NC State. 

[dpucane]

NC State is on a mission from God.

I'm at peace with losing to them.

[rocky_warrior]

Go, Duke.

Your pick was destroyed.

[Shaka Shart]

Marquette really has a knack for running into mediocre teams on heaters recently. Past 5 appearances include South Carolina ff run, North Carolina finals run, Ja morant murray st, now nc state final 4

[Zog from Margo]

Looks like Scheyer needs more NIL support. Maybe he needs to hit the portal hard.

Murray St got blown out the next round.

The AD needs to hit the portal for a new coach.

[Shaka Shart]

Murray St got blown out the next round.

The point was they ran into a lottery pick who absolutely torched them on a sh***y team

Oh.

Did Burns have more of an impact tonight or against mu?
