(56,177 posts)I was sort of paying attention, and it was always a 1-point game it seemed, then I stopped figuring they'd somehow pull it out...glad my figuring was wrong!

(5,909 posts)About the 4-5 minute mark I was thinking, Mercer might pull this off.
When they got the basket and foul I was like yesss, but I think Duke got one soon after.
Great game, great ending.

It's not that I hate Duke, I hate the fawning over Duke.
You can bet that if Coach K took a dump, boxed it and presented it to the NCAA they'd probably bronze it and put it on the wall in Springfield.
They've been overrated all season and getting a #3 when you should be a #6 makes this fun to watch.

(261 posts)I've never liked Duke, they seem to have this attitude that they're entitled to the big dance.
I remember watching the Duke/UNLV Championship game and cheering when UNLV handed Duke it's ass.

(12,336 posts)Jabari Parker is, or was, the best scorer Duke has and he was sitting at the end of the game. Why? Was Coach K trying to send a message that Parker isn't ready for the NBA? Or is K just too damn old? Strange move from the so called best coach in the business.

(56,177 posts)They lost in the second room, quite easily, at home...they got a #2 seed, even though they sucked, but because the selection committe, comprised of a lot of writers, couldn't admit that they phucked up by choosing Duke as a pre-season #2.
