I'm wondering how come dick vitale isn't discussing emotional fatigue and playing 3 games in 6 days? those excuses always come for duke.
once again no call on the Carolina end and then Plumlee heads back to the line. To be clear I am not blaming the refs, duke has badly outplayed Carolina but they are getting every call and it has made this a 20+ pt deficit instead of around 10 which would be managebale.
vitale mentions duke's record as a 2 seeed, 4-4 then mentions 4 FFs and 2 nat'l titles as a 1 seed but what about losing in the S16 in '00, '02, '05, '06, '11?
playing great but he's allowed to do whatever he wanbts- push off, travel, over the back, gets tocuh fouls to go to the line and it's not Tourney time yeat, that's when they are really worn down.
You said they both are already wearing down. They looked fine tonight. As for UK, Lunardi is clueless. They can't possibly be on the bubble.
they look great tonight, we'lls ee if that can continue. UK should be off the bubble and OUT of the Tourney.
UK just beat Florida, the best team in the SEC and a potential high seed. They're in without a doubt.
So what? the SEc stinks, that one game doesn't make up for losing against a terrible UGa team the other night or getting crushed at Arkansas.
of course it does. As you said yourself, they were a bubble team before this. Now they have a win over a top 10 team. If you're on the bubble and get a win like that late in the season, that's enough to put you in. UK tied for 2nd in the SEC now as well.
still a bubbcle team, they were moving of the bubble w/ the 2 previous losses. This win should get them back on the bubble. 4-4 in their last 8 including being blown out by UF and Arkansa, losing by 30 to UT and by 10 to Georgia. That's not a tourney team in a weak conference w/ zero quality non conf wins.
What? First it's out of the tourney without a doubt, not even on the bubble. 5 minutes later they're on the bubble? And yes, they're 4-4 in their last 8, but what matters is their whole season, not a few bad games.
