March Madness 2015

Bo Ryan said it perfect, what a facking Wisconsin just received

[TxHoops]

Bo Ryan is being petty right now, unbelievable. I guess he skipped the first 30mins of the game.

And 40 minutes of the previous game. I mean one of your 2 best players hooks the defender almost every time he pulls his signature move. The other best player you have travels more often than not when attacking the basket. I didn't see either get called once in either game.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

This season was fun!  This tournament was fun. I can't wait to don my UK Blue in Houston next April. Im hoping for a UK vs Duke game next yr in the Final Four.

Truth, all truth besides the 60mins that was 40. Lol

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Anybody else think karma ran its course the last 10mins of this game because of Saturday? 

[HurricaneCal]

Nope, I just think this is why Duke is so hated. I mean honestly they go to the monitor and get it wrong.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Bo Ryan blamed the refs. John Calipari blamed everything on HIMSELF after that CRUSHING HISTORY ALTERING LOSS. Cal made the HOF, Bo didn't. But Cal is a problem. Haha! 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

@LRBrown8: Duke wins with freshman: "WOW! Coach K is the best."

 

UK wins with freshman: "Coach Cal and the 1&Dones are ruining basketball"

 

 

 

 

Welp!  :D

[Tyler Dixson]

UNC is winning next year Buddy. Sorry to spoil it for you!

[Peppermint Patty]

Coach K understands that the "One and Done" is a possible end game, but does not diminish the educational process of his University by blatantly selling the point to recruits.

 

Coach Cal is the complete opposite. I would say that he considers the fact that he can get you in the pros in one year as his biggest selling point.

 

Which one is the better coach? It's a landslide at 5 to 1.

Did you watch the first 30mins of the game?  I knew this would happen. They tried to hand the game to Wisconsin and they didn't take it. They can only blame themselves, thats what happens when you thought you had played the title game Saturday night. Im all smiles for Coach K. Not for Fluke but for Coach K.

28 minutes into the game Wisconsin was up 9. Then the fouls started coming hot and heavy, and Duke starting making their free throws. Listening to Mike and Mike this morning on the way to work I heard 3 different talking heads mention the officials, so I know I'm not crazy.

 I agree ! You can't go against Coach K and what he has done year in and year out. And the majority of his players stick around for longer than 1 year.

Fact is you can argue about whether one-and-done is the right way to handle young players but that is it is the way the system is set up and to bad mouth coaches that make the best of the current system is wrong. 

 

Change the system if it is broken but don't blame or gripe at the coaches that work within the system to have the best team possible.

 

My opinion.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

They need to worry about possible NCAA sanctions first. ;) You forgot about their academic scandal, Roy might not be there next season.

Agreed.

@phillipshoops: Illinois State assistant Torrey Ward was among several killed in plane crash coming from the Final Four, http://NBCSports.com has learned.

 

 

@kare11: 5 reported dead after small plane crashes en route from Final Four.

Notre Dame vs UConn tonight, who yall got?

I would think it will be 2-4 more seasons before a decision is made. Similar to Syracuse. Just enough time to add another to the case!

With the NCAA you never know.

@BleacherReport: Coach Krzyzewski responds to Bo Ryan's 1-and-done comments: "Duke doesn’t rent a player" http://ble.ac/1GGudKa

 

 

 

 

 

Im glad he spoke on this, Ryan is just salty he lost to some freshmen in the Final Four.

that tipped ball blown call overshadowed the play about a minute earlier where Duke got an and-1 opportunity after a ref standing just a couple of feet away somehow missed Justise Winslow stepping out of bounds before "saving" the ball to Okafor for a layup. I'm surprised how many people are mentioning one without the other. The group package is more telling.

oh I mentioned it on fb, got a lot of Dook lovers on there. They got 5 points in critical situations, but that's the way the cookie crumbles I guess.

[baddog]

What a fantastic win by Duke. I love all the haters responses. They always only see one side of the game. There were blown calls on both sides but I will never convince any of the haters. If Duke gets all the calls, why is it that they have been to 11 championship games and only won 5?

I was going to award the MVP to Allen until Jones cut loose to finish Wisconsin off.
