AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Tough game for the Heels. Enjoyed the season. Auburn is smokin’ hot right now and we had no answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessar78 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Never watched Tech before and they are damn fun to watch. Hope Duke beats ‘em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I haven't followed the tournament at all really, but I think I'll start with the elite eight tomorrow. Purdue accepted my undergrad application but I turned them down, so...go Boilermakers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskin4ever Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The NCAA has to change their replay rule. Not because they are getting calls wrong, but because they are giving teams without a timeout a free timeout. This is back to back nights a team in a game tying/winning situation got a free timeout for a replay. Last night it worked for Purdue, tonight it did not for Virginia Tech (even though the play was brilliant). They just have to come up with a way to not give a free timeout if a team doesn’t have one.

Fergasun Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Duke got lucky on that. Watched with no sound but officiating was horrible... Williamson nailed a guy in face and it was defensive foul. Two blown out of bounds calls at end of game that went against Duke... but Va Tech put up a fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Damn good game. My heart can't take much more tho. Yuge game by Tre Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 They hung in there better than I expected. Zion is just a force and thought he was going to blow the game open several times. He’s unstoppable. Can’t say much when your blow 3 straight chances at the end to tie or win.

They absolutely need to change their rule. Especially if the refs only were able to look at the clock with a little over 6 seconds left in the game, when VT still had the ball but it should have been given to Duke since Blackshear possessed the ball while having a foot on the line. Tech shouldn't have had 3 chances to tie and/or win the game, when Duke should have been at the foul line trying to extend their lead. I thought refs were able to determine who's ball it was on a questionable play with under 2 minutes left in a half, that didn't appear to be the case tonight.

Going Commando Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Coach K can certainly out-recruit anyone else. He's built an early lottery and Nike shoe deal pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be a play where two people are fighting for the ball for it to be a review. Otherwise, they can only look at the clock. And they can only do that in the last 2 minutes.

Yeah, I'm not surprised by that since the ball remained in Tech's possession. Add that to the list for changes to be made for what officials are able to review in order avoid instances like tonight.

Going Commando Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I take the point about Coach K not being the same caliber of xs and os coach he used to be, or that the best coaches are now. Hard not to notice the difference in quality of offensive complexity and execution between what he and guys like Painter and Wright and Few are teaching. Same for defense and Bennett/Beard. Duke is relying on overwhelming talent and improvisation and havoc. It works when you significantly outrecruit everyone else though. Zion and Barrett are so much better than almost any other college talent can deal with and they buy in and give the team everything they have for one season in exchange for a shoe contract and top five draft slot at the end of the deal. No one else has the same brand cache with blue chippers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach K has been outfoxed the last two games by teams with way inferior talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
