2025 NCAA Tourney Thread

[MUEng92]

Let's make this board more exciting.

None of the Duke players are unlikable...(leaves the room after lighting the match)

[MuggsyB]

Sears continuing to play the opposite of last game

Duke is different level defensively than BYU.  And crazy long. 

[tower912]

Taking away the 3 and giving Alabama any mid range jumpers they want.

It's true.  Maluach should get more lobs and touches.  Look out in about 2 1/2 years. 

[MarquetteMike1977]

From 100 points at games end  to 37 points at the half. Combination of Duke defense and Alabama not playing as well

And not playing BYU's defense.

[MarquetteMike1977]

The defense he's seeing is the opposite of last game.

Agree mentioned that above.

[MuggsyB]

Has a team ever had three lottery pick freshmen?

[MarquetteMike1977]

Alabama 5/19 from 3 at the half when last game Alabama was 25/51. Granted most of it is due to Duke's defense

[MuggsyB]

Terrible call there on Maluach. 

[MarquetteMike1977]

Told this story previously but was at the practice where Jop dunked on Kon and cut Kon's eye bad with his elbow. My wife wondered if that is why Kon picked Duke but said it was probably more a function of NIL, playing with Cooper and Duke's history of more Championships.

Has a team wvee had three lottery pick freshmen?

Kentucky had 3 in 2010, 4 in 2015 and 3 in 2017. Duke had 4 in 1999 and 3 in 2019. I'd assume there are more.

Kon just wanted to play with Cooper Flagg and use th3 Duke pedigree. Quite simple.

[Judge Smails]

Kon is just a really good basketball player.

From Milwaukee. Would've looked great in an MU uniform

[MarquetteMike1977]

Bama missing both covered 3s and open 3s.
Sears looked awesome last game and in the game we saw him in Cleveland  but not tonight

[tower912]

Flagg with the mid range jumper wedgie.

[wadesworld]

Duke is dropping 100+ tonight

Will need to go nuclear these last 12 minutes.

[DoctorV]

From Milwaukee. Would've looked great in an MU uniform

You're killin me smails!

[MarquetteMike1977]

Feel his parents did and do like the convenience of Milwaukee but it was not enough. Kon's parents looking happy in the stands tonight and I am happy for them.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Nelson missing another Chippy and Bama not fighting as hard for rebounds

Nelson missing another Chippy and Bama not fighting as hard for rebounds

Someone whispered in my ear that Sears asked why he's laying everything on the line for Alabama at halftime. Felt like Bama might fold when I heard that.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Lol Sears reminded me of Brunson until tonight

[MuggsyB]

Maluach is responsible for about 20 alters. 

[Pakuni]

Knueppel really would have helped solidify MU's bench this season.
