This is a big fat middle finger to the NCAA Tournament Committee.
MSU absolutely deserved a #1 seed by winning TWO Big Ten championships this season.

They got screwed with their seeding and they got screwed with their placement in Duke's bracket. What better way to make their point then take down Duke. Despite only getting one foul call for 16 minutes in the second half.

Well done, Spartans!

Jones really didn’t come to play today

Just goes to show that just because you have the top recruiting class in the nation with the #1, #2, #5, and #15 recruit nationally, you aren't going to always win the National Championship. Everyone crowned them before the season started. We've seen this story time and time again.

With 7 turnovers and 3 misses in the final 40 seconds of the game?

Lol. I suppose if you only look at 3 numbers on the box sheet and didn't actually watch the game.

That said, Jones was terrible and Cam was his usually meh self.

crazy4kinsler · 03-31-2019, 06:15 PM

I love it! Duke and KU both going down in the same day. Oh the irony of Virginia being the only No. 1 seed to get to the Final 4 after being a No. 1 seed last year and losing in the first round.

I kind of feel bad for Zion and some of those other guys, especially the kid that missed the free throw that cost Duke the game. But let's be honest. They're going on to bigger and brighter things than winning college basketball games. Their best days are ahead of them.

Izzo seems to do better with these types of teams, not sure why. 2 lottery picks last year and couldn't get past Cuse. This year's team is pretty resilient.

Saraste · 03-31-2019, 06:16 PM

Now Michigan State gets to play the team should have played in the Sweet Sixteen. You know if they had been in the West Region like they should have been. I see that game being a war.

Duke 0-4 ATS in the tourney

Overrated

CC_123 · 03-31-2019, 06:16 PM

I'm still rooting for a Texas Tech vs Auburn championship game. I think that'd be a lot of fun.

Zero clutch ability. He choked up every time he touched the ball in that final minute. Missed first free throw. Tries to miss the second can't even do that.

Nice player, but let's all stop pretending he's anywhere near Zion's level. I'll eat my words if he is better than Zion in the league.

GoldPanner · 03-31-2019, 06:18 PM

Rest in pieces

Kansas played today?

BravesFan4Life · 03-31-2019, 06:18 PM

Ok Carolina got trucked but it is delicious seeing Kentucky and Duke lose shortly after. Honestly I love that the Final Four is kinda meh for ratings, outside of Michigan State I do not think this could be any worse of a Final Four for the NCAA and CBS. No more Zion talk until the draft thankfully.

Zion 2-5 from the line 2-6 from 3 and 5 Turnovers. Somebody else is being selective. Sure, only you and pgisback were watching the game.

Sounds like USC in 2005. (football)

pgisback · 03-31-2019, 06:19 PM

How is Cam still considered a lottery pick? He does not look impressive at all.

Which would be awesome considering that all the media wants to talk about is how these ones and fines deserve to be paid...

That's 33% from 3.

Yes, was not his best game from the free throw line, but he also lead the team in points, rebounds, and added in 3 steals w/ 3 blocks. Once again the best player for Duke on both sides of the ball.

RJ had ample opportunity to right his wrongs at the end...but just kept doing more bad. This is not an outlier...it's been a very glaring problem with him all year which I've highlighted multiple times as a huge concern.

This. The thing he's supposed to be good for he can't even do consistently and that's shoot the ball.

I'd draft Tyler Hero over him any day. But that won't happen because his skin is more pale.

Zion isn't any better at shooting FT's, especially in clutch time. We will all find out how the 2 perform at the next level soon enough.
