Agreed. That was handled really well. Holy crap, Butler in the Final.

[Tyche]

Good for Butler, now we get to see who has the privilege of crushing them in the championship.

Biddinger, it's time to tango.

Time to rock out to "The Black Mages".

He's as fair weather fan as it goes. How Cali niggas just up and like Dook? Even hicks in Indianapolis know to loathe Dook.

I think they are capable of taking WVU. I think Duke's D could shut them down though.

Fear the sharp chin.

Then again they are in the ACC and rep. me and Kyo's state, even with that I dont think I can cheer for the Dookies. Well, unless they let Cherokee Parks suit up, id be all on that Blue Devil bandwagon.

[Headspace]

Fuck, I thought if WVU won tonight I'd be in for tournament challenge but I need them to run the table to still win.

Horizon League represent bitches!

What you dont see is John Scheyer is behind him giving him the tip drill.

Time to rock out to "The Black Mages".

I did for those last 20something seconds after the timeout.

Wish Green would have let Izzo taken the technical though.

Not a disappointing season by any means, just tweaked at how that first half was called, especially against Morgan and not against Heyward, and our inability to make FT's in the second half. First incomplete game MSU puts together all tournament and it's fittingly a loss.

And practicing his flopping. Don't forget that.

Also.. yeah, I have to like their match-up against WVU more than Duke, honestly. Sure Butler will be underdogs in both games (haven't they been underdogs in like three of their five games anyway?), but WVU shoots like shit in most cases.. so that'd help. If Duke gets hot, they're probably the best team left.

Wasnt discussed much, but the right player won the POTY trophy this year.

Once again you sayin' shit you know nothing about damn man

Huggins sort of reminds me of Bob Knight with the borderline smartass response to the sideline reporter. The only difference is that Knight would have said the key to the game was to "score more points than the other team".

What did I say in my post that makes it seem like I don't know what I'm talking about? I can do research, even though I don't have to, to know that WVU shoots terribly. They are tied 179th in the country with a team shooting percentage of around 43.4% and 197th in the country in 3pt% at 33.6%

Duke is 133rd in the country @44.2%, but 24th in 3pt FG % @38-39%. Duke is stout defensively too, and if they get hot, they're hard to stop. I mean come on.. WVU beat Kentucky because Kentucky was what.. 0-20 at one point with 3 pointers while WVU couldn't seemingly miss? Gtfo.

And yeah, I know you're probably trollin' and shit, but still.. I felt the need to defend myself.

Keep it up ESPN. Said this shit last week and they won.

It's a pretty big tossup on who's a bigger douche between those 2, but I'm going to go with Huggins because BK's been less douchey for the last few years. If we compared current Huggie to ~'95 BK tho... I dunno, it would be tough then.
