****2015 March Madness thread****

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I'll probably find the time to keep daily updated brackets in the thread. In the mean time, who do you have winning it all? Kentucky a lock? Teams lose. So I don't think so. I truly believe undefeated hurts you going into The Dance.

Virginia's head coach Tony Bennett comes from Wazzu and I remember being happy the day he left even though I wondered why Virginia? Not rooting for them. I really don't know.

I expect Kansas to not make the sweet 16 potentially. Definitely not a championship contender (which would make it all the sweeter should they defy the odds).

It's not even close to the biggest choke coaching job of the last 10 weeks.

They're really not a team capable of running offense that quickly. When they got down by that much late after the missed out of bounds call, it was over.

Throwing an interception on the one-yard line to lose the Super Bowl bad.

I'm with you.. Kentucky would have won this by 10+. Instead Wisconsin's luck ran out.

He teaches a very undetectable from-the-court charge, I'll give him that.

And Dekker didn't show up tonight. He hits a couple threes and Wisconsin may have won.

Wisconsin was one of the best teams at avoiding fouls in NCAA history. And they somehow end up with 10 fouls midway through the 2nd half here after pulling out to a 9 point lead. Must be nice to be a Duke fan.

That really shouldn't be an excuse. In that situation, you should set a few screens just across the timeline to either give the ball handler a shot at a pull up three, or to swing it to one of the screeners on the switch.

Again, that's just poor situational awareness indicative of a lack of flexibility. Ryan is a good enough coach to install a few set plays like that.

Yeah, he didn't play well at all. I'm just thankful he took out UK, though.

Yeah. I told my Wife once they hit the bonus that Duke was going to win because they are not calling the fouls both ways.

[chop]

I'm not a Duke or Wisconsin fan. I do not dislike either program, and I do respect what Duke has done over the years. With that said, I thought the refs seem to be favoring Duke the second half. So much so I was a little irritated. However, Wisconsin didn't do themselves any favors down the stretch with the way they played either.

With their personnel, it likely wouldn't have made any difference if he had. Rushing shots isn't their thing at all. They are a half-court, slow tempo, grind it out offense to an extreme extent.
