  1. I generally like him but, this is again one of those “nobody respected us” type comments. Houston is a #1 seed. They have been a top team all season. Everyone, here at least, has said they sure as hell could win the national title. Nobody is sleeping on Houston. Nobody.
  2. https://x.com/thecatspause247/status/1908859930502926393?s=42 John Calipari gets a lot of grief for leaving some meat one the bone, but over the last 10 years, Duke has not won a national championship despite having: – 36 5-stars – 28 McDonald's All-Americans – 18 first round picks – 9 top-5 prospects – 8 lottery picks – 7 top-10 prospects – 3 No. 1 prospects – 2 No. 1 overall NBA Draft picks
  3. There were some excellent photos from below. 👆
  4. 18 offensive and 24 defensive. Domination.
  5. 7’2” Maluach, ZERO rebounds and one block. Only 10 bench points combined for both teams.
  6. Agree on the McLaren pussy-strategy. Let Oscar have a shot. Lando is very good but, he hasn’t won shit, yet. Masterful weekend for Max. I enjoy Villeneuve as an announcer. He doesn’t go for theatrics he just calmly describes things. He mentioned during qualifying that Max just works on the car the whole weekend and then it comes together. Ferrari could have saved $446,000,000 by putting someone other than Hamilton in that seat if all he is going to do is hang around seventh-place all season, 10 seconds behind the kid who took his seat. This is nowhere similar to Ferrari hiring Michael Schumacher to fix their shit show. Listening to Hamilton bitch on the radio with the paisan is never not funny. Does Lance Stroll have to give back his salary to Daddy Stroll to somehow justify him still being in F1. It’s also time for Alonso to exit stage right. Yuki did, ok to eh, but no points at his home race. I do look forward to seeing the continuing battle between Lawson and Yuki. It’d be cool if Lawson settles in and starts to do well.
  7. Flagg hit a two-pointer at 10:31 to put Duke up, 45-58 Their only other basket was again Flagg, a three-pointer at 3:03 to put them up, 55-64. Go look at the play-by-play. It looks like they only got two other shots up the final three minutes of the game. I could be wrong but, even if I am the Houston defense is just relentless. That’s why I said before the tournament that I thought they really had a great chance to win, and that they reminded me of those old Georgetown teams that would just wear you down. Just fun to watch.
  8. Houston slaughtered them on the boards down the stretch. Duke’s largest lead was 14 points. Houston’s was 3 point. The final score, 70-67
  9. That really was one for the ages.
  10. Fucking wow! Just fucking wow.
  11. Duke has scored 8 points more from FTs
  12. So far the difference is from the FT line
  13. Nice kick save by the goalie there
  14. A lot of contact there but, no foul
  15. These guys and their “hot takes”
  16. Jesus H Christ Gene Sterratore. I hate him/
  17. German cousin’s boy played for Duke. I was there for the Pitt @ Duke soccer game. I told Pitt that I wasn’t going to the football game that weekend (I work in the radio booth for football) and that I was going to see Pitt play Duke. His little brother is the one who plays for St. Louis and the reason I might come down to Houston the end of June when Mikey plays at Houston. Halfway down on the ride the boy calls and says, “It’s Senior Night. Did you bring your Duke Soccer hat? Will you walk with me? But you can’t wear your Pitt stuff.” To which I replied, “no, I’m coming down for the PITT at Duke game. If you want me to walk you have to buy me a new hat”. Which he did. So, in the stands before the game I took off all my Pitt gear and got the new hat and walked on to the field. All of Pete’s roomies were teammates, one, Pete Stroud, plays for New York RedBulls and they all knew me and knew I am a Pitt grad. So they were all giving me the business. Even the coach commented to me “thanks for coming, etc” and I replied, “this is tough”, he said, “yeah, Senior Night is tough”, I replied, “no, I’m a Pitt grad”. And we had a good laugh. They had a cookout for the team after the game, which ended 1-1, with Duke of course benefitting from a no-call on a handball in front of goal. After the game, after giving the Pitt team some high fives and good wishes, I went to the Washington Duke Inn which is across the street from the fields and changed into an Auburn sweatshirt which I figured was pretty non-offensive. As I lined up for some food a Duke Mother came to me and said, “I’m glad to see you changed into a different shirt”. I replied, “ma’am, this is not my school. And something tells me this is NOT your school. I will take ribbing from the boys, but not from a parent and I don’t apologize for being loyal to my school.” To which she walked away. Fuck her. I do enjoy going down there for games. Mostly I go when we play them in football. The Washington Duke Inn is extremely nice. Has a very nice golf course as well. I don’t root for Duke, unless they would be playing Notre Dame, PSU or WVU. Otherwise, fuck them.
  18. I'm rooting for Houston. We lived in Houston. My father worked at MD Anderson and I do not like Duke, even though I walked on Senior Night for Duke Soccer a few years back. Go Cougars.
