So if you’re Ward, do you stay? It feels like he’s gotten Wally Pipped in the lineup by Tillman. He almost went pro last year. Maybe he should have.

Yep. Their attitude reminds me a lot of last year’s Michigan team. They just play unselfish ball and always take good shots.

Mature unselfish team. As much as I dislike Izzo, he’s done an amazing job this year.

Outliers supreme

State has 17 assists on 23 FGs. That says it all.

I can see this as well…the two teams kind of switched “vibes” from this year to last.

Ohhh man, I would very much like to see NC get bounced…

Rough couple days for @tarverine

There’s a surprisingly large number of UNC / Michigan fans on the internet.

When I was a kid, my old AIM screenname was UMUNCFan haha… I used to be a big fan, but not really anymore

Duke is passing Robinson off liberally in switches and it’s making me want to kill someone. Here’s an idea, DON’T DO THAT

Coaches that get on the court on the half of the floor where their team is playing defense should be banished to the bleachers. It’s outrageous. That space belongs to the offensive team. Get the **** off the court.

@adamsmit86 I was a fan but that academic ridiculousness really turned me off.

God, Buzz is all over the court when that half of the court is in play. He’s far from the only coach who does that (for all I know K will do it next half) but it’s so ridiculous that it’s allowed.

Tom Crean did that all the time at Indiana and it drove me crazy. Was it Mo that ran over him one time?

I think it was Mo. I watched that clip again and again and again. It was so choice.

Gotta say, Duke has not wowed me this tournament. I hope they do next round though…

Kinda funny how pre-tournament everyone, both local and national fans/media, was enraged that MSU was placed in Duke’s region.

But the reality is that MSU was given by far the easiest to the elite 8 and are going up against a Duke team that looks completely beatable. Right now I’d rather play Duke over both Gonzaga and UVA if I had to choose a team to play.

LSU really isn’t that terrible. They didn’t look good in the tourney but earlier in the year they impressed me a few times.

They were/are the lowest rated 3 seed by quite a large margin and they have also been without their head coach. That’s about as weak as you can get for a 3 seed. But also Minnesota without Murphy in round 2 was really favorable as well.
