South Carolina 88 Duke 81

Oh the almighty ACC basketball kings just got took down by a 3-4 ranked SEC team.

Here's a boohoo for you coachie k!

I thought the Kennard blocking call was the right call. Defender was still sliding under Kennard when he was in the air.

 

The other charge/block on Kotsar when Jefferson drove through him - bad call.

 

Maybe so, imo both were obvious charges. :idunno:

My 2 cents

1. ACC deserved ever single bid they got...would not have said that had Syracuse got in.

 

2. I'm so used to seeing Duke drain clutch jumpers at the end of tight games, I was shocked when they missed so many.

 

3. Just like when the SEC loses more bowl games than the ACC, post season is another animal...anything can happen.

 

4. South Carolina by some estimation was seeded too high, they struggled a lot late in the year.

 

5. This location was the closest location that Duke or UNC could have played, IMO it played no part in the outcome. I'd guess a lot of that crowd was UNC fans hanging around to cheer against Duke.

 

6. My bracket is trash now, thanks ACC!

Also who cares. Cheer for your team, root against your rivals, then root for your bracket. Conferences don't matter.

 

This is an AMEN post. While I'd have liked to have seen Arkansas beat UNC for making an easier bracket, I shed no tear for the fact an SEC team exited.

Yeah they don't matter when the one you support sucks.

Hope the ACC continues to not allow teams to play in NC due to transgender bathroom deals. IMO it made it easier for SC fans to be at game and maybe help pull this team to a minor upset.

Never in my life would I think South Carolina would be in the Sweet 16. Crazy.

Exactly. I was cheering for Arkansas to win that game because I don't want to play Carolina again, not because of some false sense of SEC pride.

I don't think that most people did.

# Some people. .............If I could buy some people for what they're worth ...then turn around and sell those same people for what they think that they're worth then I or my family and friends would never have any money worries again.

Florida and U.K. were the only two I had out of this weekend. I did pick all to win their first one and Vandy lost

So disappointing. I'm super salty right now. I hate college basketball so much. Oh well. Back to the NBA. Still love my Blue Devils. Congrats to all of the Duke haters and SEC fans. Great night for you guys.

I can't decide what went wrong for Duke this season. Bad chemistry? Coaching? Toughness?

 

They certainly had talent but it just never seemed to click.
