Can Duke beat Florida?

Only seen Duke play once this season and that was last week in the tournament.

Gators don't seen to have a weakness.

IMO Duke can dominate the paint and win by 10.

Brazile took some terrible shots at the end of the Arky/ Tech game.

And Wagner. And how could Cal not call TO with 10 seconds left and not allow Wagner try to do the same thing he failed to do at the end of regulation? Set up a play for Davis, Knox or Brazile to go for the win with a 3.

Not unhappy, though, that the Pigs choked away a 16-point lead and a 13-point lead with just over 4 minutes left.

This years S16 looking like one of the best in a long time - Having the Superconferences slug it out is great BB.

Dent to UK for $3M - insane if true. Caps are needed.

Well, the Elite 8 features some fascinating matchups.

Bama-Duke for offense and Houston-Tenner for defense.

Florida should rout Texas Tech.

Not as sure about Auburn, but they should win. Izzo, Pearl going head to head could be interesting. Both great coaches, but Auburn has more talent.

So glad Purdon't lost at the buzzer. Why did the committee in its finite wisdom give a 4 seed the regional in Indy and force the 1 seed to play a road game before a raucous stadium crowd? And screw the B1G.

MI AU was a very close game when I watched for a bit but fell asleep midway thru it. One team would make a run, then the other would come back. guess au finally figured out what worked and had the last one. good game as were most looks like. was in Vegas doing stuff so didn't get to watch any of thursdays or most friday. home now so looking forward to next couple days. SEC is representing for sure.

HOPEFULLY Gates learns from this season like he did in last and becomes a much better in game coach so long suffering tiger fans can be part of an elite eight.

Was it Gates or the players. I guess some of both. It comes down to making shots & we didn't the last few games.
Unlike Thursday night, I stayed up until the end of Houston/Pudue & it was worth it! Maybe Cal should look at Houston's winning play.
It was a little fishy that a #1 seed had to play a Sweet 16 game in the back yard of its opponent.
Could have gotten rid of 3 B1G's last night. Two SEC's went down but of course someone had to lose the TN/KY game.
Weekend games should be fun!

Alabama Duke may become an All time classic.

The SEC is still in line to BE the Final Four.

My bracket looked pretty good with 7 of the 8, but thought it was busted when Florida (my NC) was down 10 with 7 minutes left. TT was unstoppable taking it to the hoop & FL missed so many 3's. It all turned around when TT missed those front ends. Didn't hurt that Clayton went into Fantasy Mode.
