Well UNC spoiled Coach K's farewell at Cameron Indoor Stadium. But it was still a big event! Nearly 100 former players, including Duke legends Grant Hill, Jason Williams, Shane Battier and Christian Laettner lined the court at Cameron Indoor Stadium to welcome Krzyzewski to the floor for the final time Saturday.
Well the Aggies finished with a nice little win streak. Will face Florida to start the SEC tourney, and assuming we get by them would face #1 seed Auburn. Ugh... would need to win that to have any shot at the tourney. Oh well.
Coach K was an amazing individual and a fiery competitor. I doubt he will make mistake of many and try to make a comeback. I do have a problem giving the Dukes much love though.
Coach K said that he was staying on at Duke as an "Ambassador". Duke may not be the juggernaut of some other years but they have won 26 games and they won the regular season ACC championship.
We had a good first half vs Michigan, but too many turnovers and we always seem to be careless with the ball. Out hustled again and I think out coached as well for the season finale.
I believe we are in the same boat as to what we have to do to be in the big dance. Don't think either one of. us have much of a shot against Auburn though.
Conference tourneys got off to a roaring start. Stanford wins on a buzzer beater, BC pulls the upset of Wake Forrest and FSU does a complete no show and Buddy Boeheim threw a punch,!
IU was down 60-43 in the 2nd half vs. Michigan. Over the next 9+ minutes, they outscored Michigan 28-4 and held off a short Michigan run to win the game 74-69. IU hasn't been good at closing out games, but they did today.
Texas coughed up a 18 point half time lead and loses to TCU this afternoon. Will hurt our seeding but we should still be in the Tournament.
Bill's Gators closed a big gap at the end to force OT with the Aggies, but a 3 pointer with .1 second left gave my kids the win. On to face Auburn... I guess I should never say never? This was fun...
2 seed Baylor lost to 7 seed OU in the Big 12 Tourney. I wouldn't pick them to win it all now, the announcers at the ACC game with ND/VaTech said no team who ever lost it's first game in a conference tourney has ever gone on to win a Nat'l Championhship. Just a Pro Tip for you guys!
Buckeyes loose to Penn State 71-68 in quarter finals of Big Ten Tournament. The end of conference play very disappointing in that we lost four of the last five games
