Flagg and Kneuppel absolute breaking in crunch time of Dukes games early on.

Freshman in November.

Ya...that's something that maybe changes by the end of the year but it's a real question mark. 

[MuggsyB]

If Rutgers beats Alabama tomorrow Marquette will be number 6 next week.

Don't count on it.  Rutgers/ND should not be in that tournament.

Dukes biggest question mark(and really only one)

Is the lack of any semblance of a guard that can do anything with the ball aside from catch and shooter

The reason they keep going to the freshman in these close games. Is they don't trust a single guard to run offense, drive and make a play.

I'm also not sold on Scheyer in a tight gane.

Yep. Really blew a great chance to take down Kansas. The highlight of the game to me was Dickheadson getting tossed on a flagrant 2.

I thought that Duke had a good chance to pull it off with that a-hole out of the game.

[HutchwasClutch]

Wow they actually tossed him

Deservedly so.  That was no accident.

One of the best reg season night of college hoops I can remember.

We might have to offer up some sacrificial manatees for more nights like this.

We were spoiled this evening

One of the best reg season night of college hoops I can remember. 

Refs took a great matchup in Alabama/ Houston and just got ridiculous calling fouls.  The free throws Alabama tied it up on in regulation was an absolute phantom foul.  74 free throws and 55 fouls.  OT or not, way too many whistles.

Fair point Hutch.

Three worthy games on...

Iowa St v. Dayton - both MU opponents. Close one with just under 8 min to go in 1st half. This is the one I'm watching primarily.

Alabama v. Houston - top 10 match up. Close at halftime.

Kansas v. Duke - No. 1 v. No. 11. Not quite at the midpoint of the 1st half with Kansas up 10.

All three were great games. I hope you all watched them. And no one got hurt. (Except for some rankings.)

[PGsHeroes32]

Brutal injury for ND having Burton completely ruled out with a knee injury and to have x-rays post game.

[MuggsyB]

Broome is a heck of a ball-player. 

[PGsHeroes32]

UNC just committed their first foul with 7 minutes left in the first half.

Guess if you don't play D its tough to foul

[MuggsyB]

Auburn fans sound quite upset. 

[MUJunkie]

Auburn is a really good...gauntlet of a non con for them.

I don't watch a ton of Duke basketball, but from what I've seen Proctor is a pretty decent player. Not to mention a third-year starter who has been in a lot of close games on the national stage.
 
Shouldn't he have the ball in a crucial situation instead of Kon?

He's basically a spot up shooter right now, albeit a really good one.

I know he's been inconsistent in his first couple years but this year they fully don't trust him at all.

[PGsHeroes32]

ND vs Rutgers was too blah teams playing a wildly entertaining game. Harper is incredible.

ND had a lead late went stagnant. Hit a 3 to tie with 8 seconds left.

In OT, ND had a 2 pt lead. Then went sloppy possessions. Down 79-73 with a minute left. Hit like 3, 3s in final minute to ultimately tie it at 84.

ND kid didn't realize they tied it and did the classic intentional foul. Harper his 1/2. ND misses a 3 at the horn.

Dayton blew it. But great game. Look forward to an angry Uconn team kicking the sh!t out of Dayton tomorrow

Seriously? I just watched an angry UConn team get beat by a bad Colorado team and you think they'll kick the s#!t out of a Dayton team that has gone toe to toe with UNC & Iowa St?

Maybe a different UConn shows up today, but I expect Dayton to win that. They have been the much, much better team in Maui so far.
