    The selection committee chair said we would have taken arkansas spot if we had won FWIW

    Need to train you guys. I’m 8 for 8 at this point! Watch the upsets start killing me though. I promise I have not picked anyone based on the color of their jerseys!!!!

    Bobby Knight ain’t gonna beat an ACC team, come on!!!

    Duke’s gonna kill me if they don’t get their act together. I don’t have them going far, but at least past VCU.

    Winthrop’s my sleeper past ND!

    Looking like only one D’Oh do far- I picked Davidson. Duke-VCU might be a 2nd (picked Duke). Really need Michigan St. to keep its lead, like many I picked them sweet 16.

    I will gladly lose any pool to see Duke go out in round 1. VCU up 1 with 1:45 to go.

    Duke just isnt that good right now. Its a mediocre team.

    Paulus is a punk who got punked. McBob should have been getting the ball on the post all night. Not that they couldve won with that, but that was their only matchup

    I know Coach K is a great coach… but it was striking to me how Coach K didn’t seem able to really make a difference when VCU was closing the gap. Duke’s offense looked like a struggle, and I was kind of amazed that Duke never trapped to get the ball out of VCU’s PG’s hands, as he single handedly beat them down the stretch.

    I say striking because watching our team it is so evident that Sidney makes a difference in every game. And it not evident at all that Coach K did.

    WTG VCU!

    Several years ago I got every 1st round game correct and won an MP3 player from Maxim Magazine. I was hoping for a supermodel, but the tunes were cool too. Ever since my brackets have been so poor I purposefully chose not to do one this year. I’ll wipe the slate clean in ’07 and come back strong in ’08.

    Pack all the way in ’08!!!!

    I knew that if you posted long enough, you would get one right. 😉

    This breaks a pretty long string of Duke making the S-16. My wife came downstairs to see what was wrong when I yelled after Maynor hit the go-ahead bucket. I never get tired of watching Duke lose.

    If we win the NIT we’ll have one more W than the Dookies.

    K looks “shell shocked” and has since Henderson clobbered Hansborough! Maybe it’s just me, but he looks “flustered, confused”. Maybe Sid’s made such an impact, K might decide to get ill again next year?????

    The announcers in the duke game said about three times that Duke had not fared well in close games this season. They were right. It was ironic that with 1.8 seconds left CBS showed Laettner watching the game in the stands. Fifteen years ago Duke need to go the length of the floor with 2.1 seconds against Kentucky. No problem. It’s not exactly fair to compare this Duke team to the ’92 team, but I will anyway. This team is not even close. Sure it’s a young team, but there are lots of yong teams. This isn’t a particularly special young team. Don’t count on much improvement from this Duke team. They were exposed this year in a way that will carry over to next year, unless a frosh phenom steps forward, and with Duke’s recruiting there’s always that possibility.

    After the game the CBS studio guys were talking about McBob and how he almost made the jump from HS to NBA. Now they say his NBA value is suspect, “if you can’t take your team deep into the tournament”. Duke finished the season with 4 straight loses for the first time ever. Also saw coach K postgame interview. Man reporters ask stupid questions. Credit K for his poise. Bob Knight would have throw a phone, a chair, and whatever else he could get his hands on.

    Pocius seems to be pretty good. Plays with intensity and is deceptively athletic. I don’t know why they didn’t give him more minutes. He gave them a spark in the game against us in the ACC tourney and in the VCU game.
