The B1G has learned how to “top heavy” their league in both Basketball and Football. Arizona went all in on 3 top flute freshmen and a semi-pro team around them.

This year was just different. Not in a good way.

Did they figure out how to top heavy it or did they just add a bunch bad schools to inflate their tv contracts. They’ve always been top heavy there’s just 18! schools in the league now.

Either way they looked like men vs boys out there

Hope Duke boat races U Conn, can't stand Hurley

I can’t believe a ref hasn’t punched him yet

Tennessee getting ran out of gym. Barnes teams always do pretty good in tourney but then run into a top level team and they don’t have enough offense to beat them year in and year out. Then you throw a game where refs are calling it tight and they get blown out.

We need to combine our scoring prowess with UT’s defensive toughness. That team would contend for a championship.

UConn is not a very good team imo. They play solid defense and work the ball but watching this game and few other times they don’t have anyone that can beat their guy off the dribble. They play fundamentally well and move the ball but Duke is clamping down and all they can do is pass it around the outside. No one is beating their defender off the dribble and forcing Duke to help out. There been no paint touches to kicks outside for open 3 pointers.

Not sure if it was intentional or accidental, but not having the wear and tear helps a ton.

 

[Bpilktree]

This second half been exact opposite. UConn has gotten the easier shots while Duke feels like everything is a struggle for them even when they score. Plus feel like they been just trying to hold on instead of being aggressive. Evens has been no factor tonight.

 

[Joefus]

Gross duke gave this away

 

[Cruiser]

#1 Seeds are now 134-1 when leading by 15 at the half
Wow!

 

[Bazza]

All I can say is WOW....what a way to win the game!!!!!

Have to say - I thought it was over.

Duke messed up and left the door open.

BOOM!!!

 

[Bpilktree]

Duke has blown a few of these last 2 years. Houston game last year. Texas Tech game they were up double digits. Same with game vs Carolina and now this one.

 

[Joefus]

Gonna go ahead and say mich wins it all

knowing Duke fans, they probably want to fire the coach for this loss.

I can’t stand Duke but I really can’t stand UConn and their coach. Oh well.
