Duke is already up 12-4, and getting all the calls (a few of which have been BS).
Not gonna be good.

No joke, its clearly come down from on high that the NCAA doesn’t want ratings darling Duke losing early.
Beyond that, the fact that WVU’s coach is noted douchebag and idiot Bob Huggins certainly won’t help matters.

And the fact that Duke plays in a harder league with more talented players and deeper competition clearly works against the Blue Devils. It’s bad for the Democrat party, so it must be bad for the ACC.

My dear wife works at CSU Fullerton, they finally made it back to to the tournament for the first time since 1978. Lost in the first round to Wisconsin.
Go Big West.

WVU = Big east
Duke = ACC
Big East > ACC

In bigger sports news, Tiger Woods is not winning a golf tournament. OMGOMGOMG!!1!!

Big East > ACC? Hey, cd6…what color is the sky on your planet?

I’m a Bob Huggins fan, but if John Cole is down with WVU…I have to back Coach K.

The ACC is, shall we say, extremely top heavy. They’ve got UNC and… ? Well Miami is still alive. The ACC’s third tournament team, Clemson, got an early exit courtesy of the 8th Big East team, Villanova.
And Duke barely edged by 15 seed Belmont and is currently down six to another Big East team, 7th seeded West Virginia, now that WVU finally remembered how to hit a three.
A few years ago the ACC might have been toughest conference, but now? Pfft.

You may have spoken too soon here. Christ, my bracket is in sorry shape.

Jesus! Those refs suck! Who the fuck are those ASSHOLES? Heh. Huggins was born and raised here in New Mexico. Absolute and undeniable proof that WVU will win. (Unless they lose in the last 3:11, in which case Huggins was run out of New Mexico because he couldn’t coach Michael Jordan to throw the ball into the ocean.)

Duke can’t buy a shot even if they were bankrolled by the Fed.
15 missed threes in a row, Henderson bricks both free thows, good grief this is ugly.

O/T, but while we enjoy young men playing college basketball this is what other men and women are doing:
Of course just to cheers us up it also goes on:
I think I’ll go drink some to tequila.

Something tells me that Mr. Cole is happy!

LOL DUKE SUCKS LOL

Steven Donegal
Ye of little faith–Go ‘eers

Why yes, Duke does indeed suck. Go ‘Eers!

Here, here, indeed Duke sucks. Good riddance and cheer for the Augustinians.

Feh. Basketball. Minnesota plays Denver tonight for the WCHA title. The Gophers finished seventh in the league, but are on a roll. It’s also clear that they would finish no worse than fourth in any other conference, and third or better in most.
Justin Slotman
Yeah, Big East > ACC, at least right now (7 of 8 BE teams advancing through the first round versus 3 of 4 for the ACC, plus two BE victories in head-to-head matchups.)

So does this hurt Hillary or Obama?
Dennis - SGMM
I’m sure that “someone” will be along shortly with reams of torturous analysis that proves it’s good for Clinton.
Andrew
Obama picked UNC in his bracket, thereby offending thousands of New Jersey voters.
Thanks to WVU for knocking off the dookies.

And then the usual suspects will jeer, snark and disagree.
Soon after, Dug Jay will explain that one of the ref’s donated $50 to Bill Clinton’s 1996 reelction campaign, proving that a conspiracy exists.
Dennis - SGMM
It’s like deja vu all over again.
Civilized Crank
Ordinarily WVU is the bane of my existence as a Maryland fan, but you, enemy of my enemy is my friend, so congrats John. It is always gratifying when you can win 5 on 6.
myiq2xu
That’s a glitch in the matrix.

Huggins fan base just tripled in WV and the region. I think Coach K may even be a fan now…or at least a believer.
Now, Go Musketeers!
demimondian
No, that’d be Paul L. And he’ll have a citation to the Kingdom of Idiots to prove it.
J.D. Rhoades
I laughed. Hard. Bye bye, Rat-boy.
lutton
yeah, I had that in my bracket
moves me into the top 10,000 on ESPN!

THIS IS GOOD NEWS!! FOR HILLARY!!!
First the Duke rape case, and now this? Why do our white trust funders have life so hard?

Love to see West By God Virginia win. That’s about all those folks have to look forward to. Remember Pitsnogle ??
Now if somebody will beat NC it’ll be good weekend.
And Drake lost. The Valley is out of it. So sad.
flavortext
In my heart Big West > All other conferences, but I don’t think any of the schools have even come close to winning the tournament, sadly.

Meanwhile Pitt is involved in a game of surpassing horror.

All right, gloat already! Xavier will get you! You’ll see!
