Kansas vs Duke

Kansas has almost no shot to win. First, Coach Self is 2-8 in Regional Finals whereas Coach K is almost unbeatable. In addition, Kansas is not a particularly good outside shooting team and I am not sure they know how to pick apart Duke's zone defense. Lastly, Duke shot very poorly the last game and I don't expect a repeat. The only team that can stop Duke is Villanova.
Didn’t know that Self struggles so much in regional finals. Still think Kansas wins because of their quickness and Dukes poor guard play. Kansas will make it hard for Duke to enter the ball into the post with on the ball pressure.

Self is 2-7 regional finals. But....3-1 in Final Fours if he gets there.

Kansas has too many outside shooters for the Duke's zone. Kansas destroyed the Cuse zone earlier this season. Not many teams can boast 3 high volume guys shooting over 40% from three (Graham, Newman, Svi) and a 4th starter in Vick shooting over 38% from 3. Those 4 have made over 350 3 pointers this season. And if Coach K extends the zone Kansas should be able to throw over the top to Dok who led the nation in Field Goal %. Bagley and Carter can get their points down low but 3 is greater than 2.
 
To follow up an earlier post, as of now (TT vs ‘Nova), no Higgins or Sirmons sighting all week, which means it’s likely they’ll call the Duke-Kansas game. It is common knowledge that Kansas usually wins when they’re on the whistle (and in the tournament Duke tends to win with them, too), so it should be interesting. Of course, I do NOT want Duke in the Final Four, but if there’s controversy, I wonder how their fans will react should they lose?
 
Guard play wins out today . If Grayson doesnt play well - Kansas by 8
 
Kansas is a 3.5 point dog.. But ill be on them

have a feeling they will win honestly on ML at -106 instead, which says a lot. KU has a real good odds to win this battle here
 
Something will have to give here, they can't both get a favorable whistle. I don't like either one of them at all, Maybe Kansas will beat Duke and Loyola will win it, if not that Villanova would have to do. I't going to be an interesting game, I might watch it.

We aren’t rooting for Kansas, we are rooting against Duke. There is a distinct difference. The entire country hates duke and is waiting for coach K to choke again with a team that starts 5 players who will be drafted and 4 recruits in the top 10. It will be just like last year. Same song and dance.

Exactly..... a big DITTO here!!!!

I hammered Kansas ML vs. Clemson since there was literally no way they were losing that game. Today is a tough one. I picked Duke as the champion in my bracket and thought all along they'd beat Kansas but now I'm not so sure. I have a feeling Kansas pulls it out. I bet small on the Kansas ML today but I'll still be rooting for Duke. Although I feel filthy saying that. [sick]
 
Duke is the only team left that did not win their conference tournament.

The last 4 National Champions did not win their conference tournament.

KU isn’t beating Nova

1st game in history with no fouls called.

A little surprised Higgins didn’t call any games this week!

Update: I checked the stats and this is the first Elite Eight since 2012 Higgins has not been on the whistle! He also worked the Sweet 16 in 2010 (as we well know) and 2011. He did not officiate any game this week.
Makes me upset more now that we didn't make it this time because that's the last time we won it all.
 
Love how CBS keeps running that ridiculous Stormy Daniels ad. Now they're pimping a basketball story with it.
 
Brandon Bolden still sucks.

Kansas is so reliant on the 3. They're not falling a good clip so far, but I have a feeling they're going to get hot at some point.
 
Why wouldn’t they? It’s going to bring in a shit ton of viewers.

Hating Trump is like porn to the left. I couldn’t care less about a guy having consensual sex with someone 13 years ago.

Just imagine if Fox did a special on the guys Anderson Cooper slept with? Lol
