2. In the words of the immortal Marv Albert, YYYYYYYYESSSSSSSSS!!!

edit: First round AGAIN!! Remember VCU? I do!!

[RiffRandell]

14. I remember VCU.

The only time I pulled for Duke was in the championship game of 1991 against UNLV.

[KamaAina]

15. I believe that was the only time I ever pulled for UNLV.

3. Damn! That feels good!

I was sort of paying attention, and it was always a 1-point game it seemed, then I stopped figuring they'd somehow pull it out...glad my figuring was wrong!

[RiffRandell]

16. I started watching it at the start of the second half.

About the 4-5 minute mark I was thinking, Mercer might pull this off.

When they got the basket and foul I was like yesss, but I think Duke got one soon after.

Great game, great ending.

[joeybee12]

17. Perfect ending!

4. Marvin Gaye says .......

Where did all the blue Dookies go?

5. Both Obama and I had Duke going to the elite eight.

This is going to be a bad year for my bracket.

6. My wife called me when there were

5 seconds left so she could make my day.

It's not that I hate Duke, I hate the fawning over Duke.

You can bet that if Coach K took a dump, boxed it and presented it to the NCAA they'd probably bronze it and put it on the wall in Springfield.

They've been overrated all season and getting a #3 when you should be a #6 makes this fun to watch.

[KamaAina]

7. Yes they would, but then Duke Vitale would steal it

[sharp_stick]

10. LOL yes, yes he would. n/t

8. Let me add my dance to Duke's loss to Mercer.

[El Supremo]

9. Their dance >>

[uncommonlink]

11. Freakin awesome.

I've never liked Duke, they seem to have this attitude that they're entitled to the big dance.

I remember watching the Duke/UNLV Championship game and cheering when UNLV handed Duke it's ass.

[RiffRandell]

13. That was great. nt

[FSogol]

12. K & R. n/t

19. Why was Duke's best player sitting on the bench at the end?

Jabari Parker is, or was, the best scorer Duke has and he was sitting at the end of the game. Why? Was Coach K trying to send a message that Parker isn't ready for the NBA? Or is K just too damn old? Strange move from the so called best coach in the business.

21. Their over-rated women lost, too...

They lost in the second room, quite easily, at home...they got a #2 seed, even though they sucked, but because the selection committe, comprised of a lot of writers, couldn't admit that they phucked up by choosing Duke as a pre-season #2.
