Not a notable disparity - they were 12 of 17 against us, 9 of 14 against ‘Nova . .

Houston's shooting numbers were not that great against our defense. 42 & 27 aren't killer numbers...ours were just worse+ turnovers.
Also interesting that they pass well - and 90% of the time that was a basic, fundamental BOUNCE PASS. And before somebody jumps on me, no, that is absolutely not a shot at ‘belo. I love his game when he is “on”!

Another low scoring game.
How is Larry scirotto allowed to officiate anything? He is clearly controversial and could be persuaded one would think with strong !!! offers.

Thought I'd just post this since this was 17 years ago.
I'll take the memory of that remarkable game to my grave. And it was a long, painful road down and back up again from there. I remember sitting on the floor at my brother's house in Syracuse watching that comeback with my 11-month-old daughter crawling on the floor in front of me. She'll finish high school in a couple months.
I thought it was the Pitt arena, but it sure seems like every team is struggling with the 3 pt shots. The ball?
Man, for all the chaos we've seen....could boil down to 4 familiar faces duking it out...

Just read that during the Duke-Arkansas half. Very impressive story. Thanks for sharing.
How many freaking times is a ball going to get stuck on the hoop stanchion this tournament?
This is at least the third time it's gotten lodged in the same spot. Put a piece of plywood up there or something ferchrissake.

That dunk may have saved this game for Arkansas, or at least stopped the death spiral.
It's not the bucket, it is the cheap rubbery basketballs the NCAA stole from the local Jr Highs and Pop A Shot games, to use in the tournament /s (sort of)
Is there a prominent color commentator less insightful than Bill Raftery?
Nope, neither. Just a sweet dunk in a game that's becoming a blowout.
Am I really going to have to root for Self or UNC just to keep Coach K from winning this on his way out
How much money did they get to use that for the tourney, I wonder?
If the Cinderelli’s get past NC, the stripes gonna have a tough call on which way to sway it.

Notice Duke threw in a zone in 2nd half. Haven't watched them all year, but guessing that was a rarity. Good example of switching things up, doing the unexpected from time to time in the tourney. That was a hot topic many posters like me were hoping we'd see from BU. Still hope we do in future tourneys.

Banchero asked whether he wanted to play UNC again (last time he preferred UNC, and VT beat UNC and then Duke in the final), and he answered: "you're not gonna get me this time."
I literally laughed out loud.

I see what u did there....think it will be a coronation for King Rat.
Duke makes me puke
Chuckle. Yes, that is what would trigger the jump ball call; but the 'Nova player stumbled and slid on the floor before that, with his feet sliding along the floor with him.
