In the NIT:
Alec Peters (Valpo) 18.5 ppg, 8.4 rpg

I noticed there are 2 former Missouri Valley Coaches in the Sweet 16, Dana Altman and Mark Turgeon. I have always said the Valley was a jumping off point for coaches to better careers. They make a name for themselves then move to a bigger school.Comment

also, Billy Kennedy was a Creighton assistant in the MVCComment

How does Duke get caught with such a totally ineffective bench?
Plus - their bevy of low post players weren't very effective.
They cooked their own goose by going so deep with basically just 5 guys..
Duke has always had a bench-load of McDonald's All Americans...this game was close until the 2nd half, then Oregon simply blew away Duke, riding a 10-15 point lead most of the 2nd half.
How can they have so few quality big men?
Duke looked gassed.Comment

Crazy deal??¦.and I do not like Syracuse at all. I could care less about them but here they are in the Elite 8Comment

All 4 winning teams tonight (Fri 3/25) are ACC teams. And the last of the midmajors were eliminated tonight (Gonzaga). All 4 #1 seeds remain. The Elite Eight consists of 4 ACC teams, 2 Big 12, 1 PAC 10, and 1 Big East team.
2 of the Final Four are going to be ACC teams.

Syracuse game plan was drive head down into the lane and launch a shot hoping the refs will bail you out and send you to the FT line..
and the refs complied...sending Syracuse to the FT line more than 3X what Gonzaga shot even tho a ton of hammering was going on down low
Both are good teams but I kinda thought Boeheim played the refs and the played alongComment

I only watched a little??¦mainly the last several minutes but I can't believe how neither of these teams have a bench??¦??¦4 Zags played 38 minutes or more and they played only one sub???¦??¦Syracuse only played 7 guys??¦..that's really hard to believeComment

16 to 5 ft's??¦doesn't seem all that out of whack if one team is driving and the other isn't??¦..only 2 more fouls called on the Zags??¦..Originally posted by tornado View PostComment

they got the benefit of prob 6-7 contact fouls in the lane on forced drives & shots that honestly I thought were gifts - and that generally only the D-Wades and LBJ get handed to them.Comment
