How awsome would a Duke vs. Gonzaga fight be in the final four. It would be the most watched college game EVER.

The storylines alone between Redick and Morrison would be incredible. They do have a friendship and they text message each other all the time. I hope CBS interviews them together and ask them about the return of the white basketball player.

What a great way for Patrick Sparks to end his collegiate career. Even though they lost, he really went out on a high note. And to think, with all the great moments he provided for Big Blue fans, he almost didn't make it to Lexington. Kudos to him.

It looks like the trendy pick right now is for LSU to beat Duke. Whatever. LSU lost 7 or 8 games this year which includes losses to Houston and Northern Iowa. If these two teams met during the regular season Duke would be a double digit favorite. Moreover, everyone is talking about UCONN this, UCONN that. That's fine, keep looking past my blue devils and see what happens. Muhahahaha.

Yes, a Duke/ Zags matchup would be a ratings windfall for CBS.

Tommorow would be a great day to call in sick to work.Duke is on first and then Gonzaga.Reddick & Morrison,college basketballs 2 best players.I see Duke winning by around 8-12 points tommorow.The Zags will be in a dog fight but should win by around 4 or 5 points.

Yes, West Virginia will hopefully avenge that close loss to Texas from the regular season (Gansey was fouled). Three of our teams play tomorrow and friday we have Wichita St. to pull for.

I can't believe how Duke has played this game. What a joke! LSU sure didn't look good, but Duke looked bad. I sure hope West Virginia and Gonzaga end up in the Final Four. Until a white team wins, I am in depression.

That hurts. Redick had the the worst game I've seen him play. Get ready for all of the latent homosexual sportswriters to scream that he won't be successful in the NBA. They won't mention how he was held and double teamed on the perimeter all game. He should have passed more ,but moving on, I hope West Virginia, Gonzaga, and Wichita St. survive this round. They all are in different brackets. It would be great to see all of them in the final four. Duke would have faced West Virginia saturday to see who takes that region ,so hopefully, we will still have one of our teams come out of there. Man, that sucks that Duke lost.

You are mostly spot on tonight KG2422...this realy sucks to watch Duke lose that game.Redick was fouled and held all night but he had a bad shooting game too and made bad decisions driving the ball so far inside just to get his shot blocked or passes stolen in all the congested traffic. He should have drove and shot mid-range jumpers. He needs to develop that part of his game to be a star at the next level. I know he will. McRoberts(at times)looked sensational tonight and that kid Thomas from LSU is amazing too. Well I'm wearing my West Virginia good luck cap right now and pulling for the Zags. All is not lost. Felt sorry for JJ. You could see the frustration and later the pain in his eyes all night long.

Well the Zags have a comfortable halftime lead and Morrison is playing well and the guy I picked to step up his game Ravio is playing very well and on his way to a double-double in points and assists. lets hope they win and not in a nail-biter. West Virginia is living and dying by the three-pointer..at the moment they are living and have closed the deficit on the longhorns early in the second half and are within four. Go Mountaineers!

I am watching the West Virginia game and cant believe the size of that big white hog for Texas. If he had any touch he could be dangerous.

What a heartbreaking night so far. Amazing ending to the WV-Texas game. I thought we were going into overtime with the Pittsnogle three-pointer..Zags hang on--please...!

WVU's advantage in three-pointshooting was negated by Texas's rebounding advantage, especially offensively.
