I cannot believe that Duke blew that game. It was over...

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Sun Apr 06, 2025 9:49 am

It’s almost worth the paving over the hellscape that is Houston.

Is that the worst choke job in NCAA Final Four History? Does Cooper Flagg testicles descend in time to be the #1 pick in the NBA draft in a couple months? Or, does his cuckolded situation require a return to campus?

I don’t care.

The world is on fire, my 401k is charred, but Duke fucking lost.

It aint all bad.

So double-paved?

There’s lots of worse places than Houston. And, it voted blue.

Duke's Maluach played last night after his student visa was canceled. He's from South Sudan.

Can't wait to see how far that goes.

You would think they would not want that smoke

If "that smoke" is Duke's alumni throwing up human shields for a 9 ppg kid from Sudan, I think the (other) republicans are probably safe.

Syracuse has brought in transfers from Canada and Guinea, as well as an incoming freshman from Australia. Very curious to see how far this will go.

As long as they don't protest, they should be fine.

I know you're joking, but they canceled visas for every student from South Sudan.

Reminds me of the old Jerry Tarkanian joke. He said “The NCAA is really pissed at Kentucky. And, they are going to prove it by adding two more years of probation on Cleveland State.”

Canada and Australia probably ok but kid from Guinea may have a pigmentation issue for this administration.

MI adds Yaxel Lendeborg from UAB... The #1 dude in the portal, who will likely be drafted in the second round, so MI is just a back-up plan.

That's like the old joke that Pitino got so mad at Jamal Mashburn once that Richie Farmer had to do an hour's worth of wind sprints after practice.

Maybe drop the “The Road Ends Here” signage from the Jumbotron while showing a memorial and asking for a moment of silence.

Dude sitting behind Al Horford must have asked his plastic surgeon for the Mickey Rourke.

He should have touched it again, at least the clock would stop.

EnochRoot · Post by **EnochRoot** » Mon Apr 07, 2025 10:12 pm

Good grief. Swat the ball out of bounds if you can’t touch the ball again. At least the game moves on.

I was thinking same since they were down two but admittedly I didn’t think about it during the time frame he would have had to do so.

Never take for granted the clarity of purpose that a brand new day can bring

He slept on it and still got there so you have to respect the consideration.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Tue Apr 08, 2025 8:03 am

Don't forget Taurean Green.

I mean, the university claimed that since Golden's alleged sexual harassment had not "occurred within a university program or activity," they couldn't act on it.

Which is some extremely cowardly shit for a university that had Ben Sasse as president for almost 18 months, during which time he hired a bunch of people with zero experience into positions where they were stunningly overpaid.

I've hated that dude for a long time, just held it in for the most part. Have the clarity to let that shit out.

The technical foul called on the Florida Bench worked. That was the game changer.

And Houston pretty much fell apart the last couple of minutes.

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Tue Apr 08, 2025 9:41 am

Shit happens and it was two pretty evenly matched teams. I think Houston's biggest mistake was going to a complete slowdown at about 8 minutes to go. I know they aren't a fast-paced team on the best of nights, but that offense isn't built for standing around and then trying to get a good shot in 7 seconds. Cal does this (and lost because of it in this tournament) in a different way, but it completely changes the way the team got the lead and mucks it all up.
