Oh he tried to foul. GTFO. Then they foul too early at end of OT

agame you're gonna have a rude awakening come march when cuse loses to a team like butler in the 1-8 match up

clemson will beat cuse imo

i can't believe this duke team won me over but they did. amile/jabari and any 3 of hood/sheed/dawkins/cook is super sick. coach K GOAT

they are going to crush cuse in cameron. CRUSH.

Hope cuse is undefeated when they come to Cameron. Getting points in Cameron will be a fun way to collect currency.

Duke is pretty clearly superior to cuse despite the outcome IMO.

Duke pretty much destroyed the zone all night. Part of me thinks Boeheim runs the zone exclusively so he never has to make any defensive adjustments in games and it showed when Duke kept getting great look after great look.

cuse will not be undefeated thanks to CLEMSON beating them by double digits in the carrier dome, but it'll still be another good match up

you know it's funny...every yr Cuse is ranked in the top 10, and every yr I think we're overrated

Always good, just not as good as our ranking would indicate. I originally thought that again this year.

But I no longer do. I actually think we might be the best team in the country. We're just so balanced and we get high percentage shots. When you live by the 3, it takes one bad shooting game and you go home. We have one 3 pt specialist and we get all the rest of our pts in the paint.

I was super impressed with this effort. I think we'll be a really tough out for anyone.

if you gave me 500-1 odds on cuse titling i don't think i'd even bet a dollar because it's such a waste of money

just shocked at how soft a schedule cuse has had till this point and how not good they are

literally shocked

Iowa was up 16 when I checked in the 1st half. Now tied with Illinois with 10 to go. Iowa should be destroying illinois

Iowa was up 20 LOLOLOLOL

You won by 2 in a super rigged game in OT against the 17th ranked team at home who eviscerated your defense. Calm down there bud.

Vegas is too good. Total trap line of -5.5

My god iowa is just downright terrible . illini gonna run em out of the gym here soon. Iowas house of horrors

No you see they didn't. They couldn't get inside at all. They made their 3s while we dominated the paint, and the chosen one fouled out after a mediocre-bad game.

I'll take that trade anyday.

I'm much higher on Iowa than anyone else. They have such a versatile offensive team.

I'm high on them as well but they have just forgotten how to play basketball tonight and last week against msu. 14 min with no fg's against msu. 10 min tonight. They can't do that and expect to win against top tier competition. Hell they are in the process of blowing a 21 point lead to a TERRIBLE Illinois tean

it'll be like duke -4 and it will be free

good post. the zone is like boeheim's easy workaround for being an unsharp mind, and it leaves him exposed against skilled teams. duke prob gonna give cuse trouble until boeheim leaves.

Fran needs to stick to a 7-8 man rotation and stop this random subbing bull**** he has always done. So many different line ups he runs its unreal stupid

this just in: 1 board short of a double double in cbb is a mediocre game

Come on. Cuse aint going to the CBI this year.
Plus, that Butlahh team straight up dominated Cuse. LOL CUSE.

but ya, LOL Butlahhh

MARBLE

My god oleseni needs to start over Woody's clumsy big ass

Worst clutch free throw shooting team of all time

Iowa gets the win and cover. All is right in the B1G

What an awesome game. For the refs I'll just say I would've rather lost this one & not have had a Final4 game rigged against us last yr.

+1 on this being maybe the most likeable Duke team ever.
I can see coming away thinking they're the better team for the obv. road game/refs reasons. But sometimes that can be cookie cutter analysis too - '05 UNC was down 8 w/ like 3min's left on the verge of getting swept at home on Sr. Day...
Both Kansas-Mizzo OT games a couple yrs ago were rigged for the home teams...
Maybe Duke just matches up well...

Two yrs ago vs L'ville Dieng was not guarded at the FT line & their offense was nowhere. Last year he could make a shot & it gave 'Cuse all kinds of problems. Not sure how Duke got those looks without anyone in the middle who could do anything. I expect 'Cuse to guard a lot better in the rematch but they'll obv. be the underdog.
As a sidenote Lol @rooting for the spread to be slanted if 'Cuse is undefeated like ncaab is full of casual bettors hammering big $ on records.
