NCAA Tournament 2026

He'll be most outstanding player of tournament hands down if they go on to win it all

Tell that to Hardon Alumni

Too bad the tournament has been ruined. Would much rather have seen Sienna get blown out by 30 there. Gotta love the try hard underdogs - and Norman Rockwell.

[MuggsyB]

What's also incredible to me is UCONN burned like 16 secs, down 3, with 27 secs left.  Not exactly ideal.  Among amazing tournament wins, this is way up there.

Another collapse from Scheyer. As if the Houston game wasn't bad enough last year.

A 19 point lead, out the window.

This one is going to enrage Duke fans!

Dang!

I'm very pro- Labor, but I also think the current free agency system in college is a long term problem for the sports. There is something (especially in college) about having a connection and watching the same players for a couple of years.

Ratings suggest otherwise. And the fact that people continue investing their money in it.

Hurley is still a dick. Got to admit he sure as hell has widened the gap over Shaka though.

Screw Duke. They usually get 2 to 3 top 20 players most years. So screw them.

Would it be a stretch to say that was the second greatest shot in March Madness history, especially given that UConn trailed by 19?

As someone who placed money on Duke, Arizona, and Michigan all reaching the Final Four before the tourney, this was an absolutely insane way to lose that bet. Kudos to UConn.

On the last play, I don't blame Scheyer at all. His team was prepared, got the ball inbounds flawlessly, moved it crisply. The little Boozer just totally f&cked up.

If anything, Scheyer's team executed better than Hurley's on the final 30 seconds - until little Boozer choked.

I know Villanova hit that shot to win the whole thing, but they were tied. And the massive comeback and the length of that shot really makes me consider it for the top spot.

I don't know about that. I mean you can't saying his team was prepared, only to have someone turn it over on a bonehead play.

Contrast that to UConn who executed better by creating the turnover and crisply moved the ball to get an open look.

Great news for my "Scheyer Can't Coach" agenda.

Bad news for the ever widening G-A-P.

[Pakuni]

Tons of blame to go around for a collapse like that to happen, but Isaiah Evans deciding not to play defense on the last shot is a tough look.

[Judge Smails]

UCONN looked great down the stretch. Can't believe we beat them.

I guess UConn created the turnover, even though Duke got the ball exactly where they wanted. But sometimes the player just has to not be a moron.

Have you heard of Christian Laettner?

Ratings suggest otherwise. And the fact that people continue investing their money in it.

As long as you get big state schools and blue bloods in the finals, the ratings should be good. They have large followings. People other than the relatively small alumni base of a private school or mid majors and relatively die hard fans don't care about mid majors or private schools not named Duke. It is to the network's benefit not to have mid majors and private schools in the tournament. An exception to that general statement is if the private school has Larry Bird, which is far less likely to happen in today's environment.

[The Sultan]

Have you heard of Christian Laettner?

Yes. This was well better than that. As was Nova's.

Agreed. All he had to do was hold the ball. He panicked, because they absolutely had the game in the palm of their hands, literally.

This is funny:

Three years in a row, Duke blows a lead in the tournament.

Pretty on-brand for a Dookie to think they should have called a tech there.

I think he's the best coach in the game right now, so I feel he's widening the gap on most.
