Do we want...
A. BYU to win
B. Satan to win
C. The grey court to open up and consume both teams
Seriously, we are rooting against Houston, right?

Houston losing doesn't hurt. They are overrated. Beat nobody really. Zero top 10 wins.
i thought “Satan” is reserved for Bruce Pearl?
My bad...cell phone sanctions I meant. I try to not use any mental energy thinking about either of those humans...but you are right...
Houston fouls every play and never gets called.

They have this in common with MSU.
What are you talking about?!
They were all there...
I just want to believe that directly going to the student section after winning and yelling obscenities and making obscene gestures led them to this loss. Basically the basketball gods saying "congrats on going undefeated in park district, guys. Try playing in the AAU league down the street."
Duke squeaked it out by 1. Not sure what to make of this game. Was Duke just going through the motions or are the injuries a bigger problem?
Captain 14
- The Last Best Place
Leaning towards this. Those are significant injuries.
Dropped their KenPom net rating by 1.2pts. If they struggle again in their next game, I wouldn't expect them to drop from a 1-seed, but maybe we'll see some bigger movements in betting markets.
Fighter of the Nightman
- Chicago, IL
All of a sudden getting in Duke’s region doesn’t seem QUITE as scary!
Is Brock Harding going to last longer in NCAA Tournament than Iowa?
They’ll get Patrick N back. Duke had a close game in the ACCT last year as well against North Carolina. I think they’ll be just fine.

Right, but the choices aren’t exactly great, lol. Any of the current projected #1 seeds will smoke us if we don’t bring great effort and our A game.
If Akron wins the MAAC, that would all but guarantee too MAC teams in MM. That would be great for the conference, I'd say.
In Cronin's post-game interview with Katz, he said that he told his guards to invoke Kylan Boswell and hit the offensive boards and not stand and watch and that changed the game. (Sorry for the poor run-on sentence.)
I’m no Sampson fan, but there’s only 1 Satan (ok, technically 2), but Kelvin ain’t one of them
