    And very happy for Paige and UConn. More so that Sth Carolina lost and the fact that Dawn Staley is annoying as hell

      I really like UConn. Geno is a great coach, and they play the ultimate brand of team ball.

      Their defence was suffocating, they choked the life out of SC, what a comprehensive win

        Duke-Houston game was everything there is to like about college basketball, every play in that last 3 mins or so was massively impactful to the outcome.

        Duke got out rebounded by 11 and the difference was those were offensive boards which kept Houston in the game.

        The rebounding foul on Flagg was so weak and so costly in the end

          Proctor’s missed free throw was the biggest play (and yes the foul call on Flagg was rubbish). In my bracket I had Duke losing in the Elite 8 because I thought Proctor’s FT shooting would cost them.

          He’s a good player and will be a star in the Boomers one day, but he needs to fix a couple of things not only in his mechanics but the mental side.

              Crusader, you must be happy to see the Boozer twins commit to Duke for next year.

              Imagine if Flagg committed for another year (to avoid being drafted no1 by the Wizards or Hornets…), Duke would be off the charts!

              Intense scrappy game. Gators pulled off a Houston on Houston - low scoring, defence orientated performance.

                  https://www.espn.com.au/nba/story/_/id/44588997/nuggets-fire-coach-michael-malone-stunner

                  First Memphis, Now Denver. Malone only won a chip for them two seasons ago, they have had injury disruption, but at times the knock as been that they aren't as engaged as they should be. Seems like a poorly timed decision to me, perhaps they hope for a dead cat bounce into the playoffs? I don't think Malone or Jenkins will have issues finding new jobs

                        You have to assume that they ran it past Jokic.
                        The talk is that the coach and front office weren't on speaking terms, so someone had to go. It's a surprise that they fired them both though.

                          This must encourage all of the arrivals in the Western conference. With three games to play in the regular season, I don't see this decision having any possible positive consequences as it relates to the upcoming playoffs

                                  I read a factoid about the recently completed WNCAA basketball final. When UConn won, Vanessa Bryant posted on social media that Kobe and Gigi would have loved to see them win. Gigi would be 18 if she were alive today, and would probably have been on that squad. Scary how time flies

                                    Luka gets ejected late in the game for abusing the ref, but he says he was trash talking with a fan (who actually backs him up). Bizarre, and the refs double down on their decision post game

                                      Bro did you see Luka watching his Mavs tribute video.

                                      Absolutely fuck the Mavs front office. It's not just a bad basketball trade, it's a shitty thing to do your talisman. Trade him when he WANTED to be there. Then shit talk him for a month to try and justify it.

                                      Luka hates it. Every single one of your fans hates it. And your team is worse because of it.

                                      Professional sport or not, this was a shitty thing to do.
