Why is it?

Why is it that ESPN was talking all about the tournament all week long - over and over again - but when Duke loses they don't have every analyst breaking down the brackets like before?

Dickie V was one sad puppy last night! Go DUKE!

Duke losing in the 1st round was "unimaginable". ESPN didn't prepare for this outcome, and now don't know what to do next.

I'm a Ga. Tech fan and an ACC fan but if a team has to go then I'm glad it was Duke. I only saw a small bit of Coach Kruzeski's post game where he always states how proud he is of his players.

Did he spend any time defending their strategy of trying to guard the untra quick guard from UVC with a non-athletic player. What a mismatch. Maybe, Duke didn't have anybody that could stay with him? Did he think that UVC woild call a TO?

Awesome Baby!

That would be VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University) I know the name quite well because of the checks I have been sending them for the last four years.

What do you mean? Paulus or Paulis or whatever, couldn't guard him? He is super sensational baby! Such a smart player baby!

They kept showing Christian Laettner during the game. Duke sure could have used him during this game quite a few times. There were times when VCU players fell on the floor, and nobody was there to stomp on them.
