Can you imagine this board if we had given up that big of a lead on this stage…wondering if Duke is having flashbacks to blowing that lead last year.

Oh my UCONN leaving it all on the floor
Those 2 points on the non call kinda big now huh lol
I don't know which of these teams I want to play. Not sure I care either. If we want to be the best, we have to beat the best.

Put me in the VERY pro-UConn camp! They’ll bring way fewer fans (i.e., more tickets available for orange shirts!), and I think there’s a way smaller chance the refs screw us than vs. Duke (knock on wood). Plus, we’ve played them and that could give us more of an edge.
About the only negative would be seeing Bill Murray NOT rooting for the Illini in the Final Four.

Reed is a problem. He is really good.
I just don't know how to feel about this game. I hate both Duke and UCONN equally.

After watching this I still think I'd rather play Duke. Uconn is more dangerous and they've shot terribly today. I think we match up better defensively with Duke.
This unreal seems eerily similar to the meltdown against Houston last year

I can't watch as I'm not in US, but I'm following the score closely. How is UConn doing this? They're not hitting threes from what I'm reading
In case it becomes relevant in a few days

Im not sure. Im not Fears fan at all. He is a nut kicker
2 point game with under 4 minutes. What a comeback
It sure feels like Duke is getting the friendly whistle.
The Duke big is grabbing Karaban there?
Out of sorts uconn get a TO on a stop
He pulled Karaban lol n gets away with it to draw a foul
Tarris Reed basically put the team on his back to keep the game from slipping away until they actually did hit a couple threes. They have also defended well this half.

40 overtimes that lasts five days, please!
Why not just start fouling the Duke big?
Put him in those pressure 1 and 1s with a minute left. (had the ball for 5 seconds on that press break)

I hate Duke for he bias they get. They call that charge on anyone else and so many other calls. It seems them and MSU get those so often. That was 2 pts that obviously shouldnt have been. Just like a few when we played msu.
DOWN TO 1!
How can UConn even be in this one? Dreadful from 3. Refs giving Duke unlimited reach ins, discards, charges.
Come on UConn, please take it to overtime!!!!
