    This game seems like a toss up but I'm leaning a bit towards Duke. I think the quickness of Duke's guards might give UW fits like they did earlier this season. I hate Duke but it's tough to bet against them in a NC game.

    Man that one announcer is annoying. You know the one who changes his voice inflection while at the same time saying a cheesy line. Want to slap him.

    This is a great game. I'm surprised Wisconsin is hanging with Duke with Decker not making any 3 pointers. If he was on tonight this game would be leaning in Wisconsin's favor.

    He doesn't have space to move. I really like Decker but Allen is one heck of a defender. He has been giving him fits with his positioning.

    So I went into this game not really caring who wins, but after seeing the Wisconsin players whine after every call throughout the game, I really started to pull for Duke. Glad Duke won. The Wisconsin players really annoyed me. Especially that Dekker kid.

    This is so much easier to get over than the packers loss against Seattle. Duke made shot after shot. And the Badgers were clearly in hangover mode especially decker. It is what it is.

    Several bad calls down the stretch that went against Wisconsin pretty well sealed the deal.

    Yeah but I'm personally not going to to go there. Duke sure made a lot of shots down the stretch.

    the reviewed tip was the only glaring call that was obviously missed

    plenty of other calls were missed both ways though

    that was a great game, don't go the whole "the refs always help Duke" route

    don't be that guy

    I was pretty much a neutral observer. Duke stepped out of bounds just before Okafor scores. Duke touched that ball last. Not to mention a no call on a clear charge with about 3 minute to go. Wisconsin took a few bad shots and a couple 50/50 balls ended up in Dukes hands out of pure fortune. Great season outs the Badgers though.
    It's a win win for me either way. With Duke winning, I won the bracket and every Kansas fan on the planet is crying right now.

    not an obvious call in live action

    obvious missed call


    neither of those were clear charges, in fact, neither were anywhere close to charges

    Why couldn't Wisconsin be that ice cold on Saturday?! Dekker was 0 for 6 from threes because of course he was.

    Final Four is such an amazing event that it was actually even enjoyable as my team was eliminated and after. Will be buying tickets for Houston next year as soon as they go for sale and hope UK reloads and makes it again.

    Wisconsin walks off the court without shaking hands with Duke.... Oh the irony.

    I also look forward to all the "Coach K is ruining college basketball with his One and Dones" narratives that are sure to start pouring out of every major sports news outlet as they did when Cal became successful at Kentucky.

    Sixty percent of Duke's starting line up were freshmen. I wonder if a college football team recruited say 12 high school All Americans, all of which went on to be starters on both sides of the ball. That would put about 60 percent of the starters on each side of the ball as freshmen. Could that football team have even a remote chance of winning a national championship?
