Whitelightning isn't Duke playing right now? They aren't showing it on CBS because the West Virginia-Missouri game isn't over yet.

No the game is not till later. 5.15 eastern time for the tipoff. I love the fact that the game is in prime time. They usually do that with Duke as they are one of the most popular teams in college basketball. They draw quite an audience on tv. You would think other teams would be more white friendly but they just don't get it. Duke is always white friendly and they are always good. Wake up Div. IA Schools!

Remember that troll thousandknives who said Northern Iowa wasn't a good team and that they wouldn't win a single game in the tournament
Yes I remember that fool/tool. Northern Iowa got out the longknives for thousandknives. What a great tournament so far.
No kidding he scoffed at me when I mentioned Northern Iowa played Purdue close last year and have most of the same guys on their squad this year. I want to hear what lame excuse he has now.

Duke is going to advance. They are up by 20 with less than 3 minutes to go.

awesome day! Cornell (Big Red) = Big Win!
Chris Kramer (who i think is an NFL strong safety playing college basketball) carried Purdue on both ends of the court, finishing the game with 17 points, a team-high 7 rebounds, and 4 steals while guarding a player who was about six inches bigger than him. oh, and he hit the game-winning shot!
and the Duke White Devilsdominated the Cal Black Bears from tip-off to game-over. soooooo awesome!!!!

It seemed that when Purdue had majority negros in , they lost the ball, had bad shots and essentially showed no cohesion. Thanks to Chris Kramer they move on. Well done!

Even the studio analysts were stating that Big Red was seeded too low for this tournament. They said that they were 12 seed by the strength of their relatively soft schedule but were really a mid seed on ability. It's nice to see a team with true amateurs going deep in the tourney. Maybe they can be this years George Mason. Edited by: white is rightJimmy Chitwood said:<div></div>

I'm loving the tournament this year. The officiating has been relatively fair for a change. I did think that Jimmer Fredette should have been at the charity stripe a little more, against Kansas State, but I think Kansas State still might have won (with the way Pullen made so many big shots). Kansas State was playing a VERY PHYSICAL game- and BYU might have had a chance to win with more calls (it wasn't a NOTORIOUSLY horribly officiated basketball game ala Kings/Lakers 2002, but was still somewhat of a let down). Fredette still played pretty well, but not like THE BEST PLAYER IN THE ENTIRE TOURNAMENT like in his first game!
It's sickening to brush through NBAdraft.net and Draftexpress and see all these players like Fredette and Chris Kramer- who have VERY SPECIAL abilities in different facets of the game and have been doing great in the tournament- ranked so low.
Chris Kramer is a first team all Division I defender for God's sake. And he's stepped up his offensive game with Hummel out too. Kramer isn't an ELITE scorer, but he can score when Purdue needs him and is a pretty good play maker and possibly THE BEST ON BALL DEFENDER IN THE ENTIRE NCAA. No reason this guy shouldn't be drafted as a defensive specialist, pass first point guard by the early 2nd round- who could eventually become a starter!
The "analysts" at draftexpress, don't even have Kramer in the top 60 seniors and they have Jon Scheyer not even getting drafted. They have Singler as the LAST pick in the first round and no sign of Matt Bouldin in the mock draft either
. Also no sign of Omar Samhan, although he's a guy I haven't gotten to watch yet.

My goodness, I just noticed that Cornell will indeed play Kentucky next, and that is about as big a caste match-up I've seen in any sport in quite a while. I guess the 2008 Spain-USA gold medal game in Beijing is another such example, but there aren't many that come to mind.
Needless to say, I will be rooting for Cornell in a big way. At this point in time, I'm hoping for any of the the other 14 teams to win it all, but not Kentucky and West Virgina.

Kentucky is going to be a tough team for Cornell to beat.
I'd be shocked if CBS allowed Cornell to beat Kentucky. They had a big promo about Kentucky's fab four freshmen - each taking turns doing some freestyle hip-hop dancing, talking about their swag. I could just imagine the millions of white viewers around the country thinking how impressive these young scholar athletes were. Wouldn't it be every dad's worst nightmare if their daughter ended up with one of these affletes? Yet, as long as they're wearing the team colors, we'll kiss their asses. Anyway, I will watch the game and hope Cornell shocks the negro worshipping world.

If we consider a player's "whiteness" by what he considers himself, then I'd give Omar Samhan the thumbs up. From Yahoo:
"St. Mary's is a heck of a story and an even better team â€" Villanova coach Jay Wright said there was no question they could contend for a Big East title. There's a whole bunch of players that are responsible for it, but the big guy with the big personality is becoming the big star of this tournament.
What's not to like about a guy who, after scoring 32 points to lead St. Mary's to its first Sweet 16, declares himself "a slow white guy"Â and "overweight."Â Then he mocked Wright for not double-teaming him "after I kill you in the first half, what are you waiting for. I don't know what he wanted. Did he want me to have 40?"Â
He's full of trash talk, only with a huge smile on his face. His sense of humor and comedic timing is uncanny. And there is something endearing about a low-profile mid-major player doing the yapping â€" especially at a Final Four coach and big-publicity opponents.
Samhan and the Gaels take on Baylor and the way St. Mary's is playing, it doesn't look done with this run. Samhan needs a few more press conferences anyway."Edited by: Freethinker

I just hope that if Cornell goes down to Kentucky that we don't have to here the typical crap about how the Wildcats were just "too affletic" for Cornell.I also don't want to see Bigunreal come on here should the white-friendly teams be eliminated and give his yearly rant about how no white team will ever win the NCAA title.

Typical "afflete" whining as UK's DeMarcus Cousins labeles Wake Forrest's Chas McFarland as a "dirty player". It's obvious the soft Cousins doesn't like & can't take physical play.
DeMarcus Cousins calls Wake's McFarland a 'dirty player'
By Jeff Eisenberg
NEW ORLEANS â€" Before Kentucky's DeMarcus Cousins even stepped on the court on Saturday night, the combustible big man knew exactly what to expect from Wake Forest big man Chas McFarland.
"He was coming out in articles saying how he was going to try to get in my head," Cousins said. "I was reading it and I was just trying to prepare myself for a battle today because I knew what his intentions were coming into the game."
McFarland played the role of instigator the whole night, catching Cousins with a couple elbows to the neck and chest and even declining to shake the Kentucky freshman's hand before tip-off.
The big blow, of course, came with the game well out of hand in the second half when McFarland clubbed Cousins across the face when he went up for a shot in the paint, drawing an intentional foul from the officials. Cousins showed his maturity by resisting the temptation to retaliate, picking himself off the ground, jogging away clapping his hands and motioning for the crowd to get on its feet and cheer.
"That was a middle-school move," Cousins said later. "He was doing a lot of cheating. I caught an elbow to the jaw early in the game. He's a dirty player and the whole world knows it, especially after tonight."
If Cousins can keep his cool against a guy known as the ACC's most physical, chippy big man, that bodes very well for Kentucky's national title hopes. After all, three opposing players have gotten ejected as a result of incidents involving McFarland, a list that includes Gonzaga's Elias Harris, whose forearm to the neck of the Wake Forest big man earlier this season landed him an early exit.
"The thing that makes that kid a good player is, he plays with a lot of passion," Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio said of McFarland earlier this week. "At times, it's bad for him because he plays with too much emotion. I tell him, at times he's, like, emotionally intoxicated. Really. It gets the better of him."
Opponents have tried to bait Cousins all season because getting him out of a game by provoking his temper often seems easier than holding him in check while he's on the court.
Trouble is it's happened so much Cousins knows it's coming. He knows what's at stake the next two weeks and he'll continue to avoid incident.

It's interesting that Samhan called himself "slow"-- because I've noticed it too. I'm just glad that St. Mary's is in the Sweet 16, and that the mutt Gonzaga team won't be poluting this tourny any longer!
Baylor is a "running" team, and they seem to have finely-tuned their style of play, so I worry that St. Mary's bigs' will get exposed by Udoh and other Baylor players. Ben Allen has nice hands, and can get some clutch rebounds, but he's a defensive liability. Defense, or lack thereof, will probably be the key. Sure, it will be nice if McConnell (and others) can hit their shots. If not, a blow-out is possible, and it might not be the "refs" fault, either. A Duke/St. Mary's match-up, a veritable Whitefest in the Elite 8, is simply "too good to be true" - I'm afraid.
I really hope that this post gets quoted and you all call me a "fool" or "non-believer"... I would be delighted!!
If Duke gets knocked-out (I think they'll beat Purdue) of the tourny, I'll be pulling for Syracuse. Jim Boeheim is a non-black coach and Syracuse seems to overwhelmingly field dark-skins. I also hope Andy Rautins continues to shine and build his legend.

I agree for both Cornell and St Mary's to win they HAVE to knock down 3's and slow the pace down to their level. If they can't hit three's defense will get shoddy and things will spiral out of control. It will be interesting to see whether Baylor doubles Samhan. If theydo, they are testing St Mary's shooters to beat them.
