rsvman2 Texas Tech made mistakes, but Clayton hitting four threes in a row down the stretch is one heck of a winning way to finish.
2025 March Madness
johnnydoom Not at that moment, but the Crocs came through in the clutch!
Meaning: Texas Tech screwed the pooch at the foul line. Had to make both of those 1 and 1 opportunities! Geezus

Yuck! Just saying...
Bravopilot Would love it, but I ain’t betting against Duke.
johnnydoom Agreed, was thinking Duke vs Florida. However, Florida looked beatable today.
johnnydoom Apparently Bama did not understand the game started already.
it is interesting that of the four brackets in the Sweet 16 ….three of the matchups were number one against number two and in the fourth it was number one against number three. I hate to say it, but it looks like they ranked these teams pretty well.
fatshot And that NIL makes a difference. Big schools with big NIL budgets plus the instant transfer. Eventually they will need a NIL Cap and we can talk cap space for colleges too.

Awesome start to the Semi's! These guys can play!
Because of our weather issues I only get a half screen of the game alongside a half screen of the local weatherman giving tornado and flood updates.

A maximum hustle game for sure! I can’t hear the calls (which I don’t mind), but the action is intense.
Walter Clayton Jr. is rock solid in the stretch 2 games in a row.
What a comeback by Houston!
Nice! Love seeing the old guys too. Hakeem the Dream!
It's the first time I can think of where a top seed (Houston) won and it felt like an upset with all of the Duke hype. Ought to be an athletic final for sure.
Hope the final is close.
johnnydoom Frankly, it was an upset, of sorts. They committee ranks the one seeds in order. Auburn was the overall number one and Duke was the overall number two.
So with semifinals produced upsets, one a bit more absurd than the other. Still unclear how you lose a game when you are ahead by six points and have the ball and there are only 37 seconds left to play. Every single thing that could go right for Houston and wrong for Duke happened in that short period of time. If they were to replay that game from that point 100 times, Houston would win maybe 2 or 3 of those games. Duke's chances of victory were 97% by computer calculation.
One of the craziest last two minutes of college basketball I have ever seen.
I really think Duke's team was superior, and that if this were a 7-game series, Duke would win it four games to two. But in the NCAA Tournament, it's one game, and crazy things can happen.
