Sports media about to explode if that happens.
UNC could end coach K career. Duke could win and get revenge for that last loss

Duke wins and goes on to win it all.

I hope we get DUKE vs UNC as much as Saint Peters would be a great story

On the contrary, and it’s purely fantasy but Saint Peter’s vs Duke would be the ultimate David vs Goliath matchup in…collegiate sports history?

Hence the reboot. He can shoot stand still. Can't put the ball on the floor either. Both very one dimensional.

winslow could never shoot standstill or on the move. he was a slasher. have you watched griffin more than 1 or 2 games this tourney? he puts the ball on the floor in iso plenty either getting to the cup or getting into his stepback.

Man this is not true. How many duke games have you watched this year? Griffin dances with the ball A LOT on dribble drives, has a consistent cross over step back 3, loves to attack the rim off the bounce, etc. I hope you're not basing what youve seen off just the tournament?

Exactly! People in here obviously haven't watched more than say 2 games with Griffin. He is anything BUT a spot up shooter.

The point I was making is they are both one dimensional. He's getting by guys because of poor closeouts. At this level. There's not a deep creation bag there.

I know all of that goofy. Do you know what a reboot is? The point I was making is they are both one dimensional. Winslow was supposed to be a 3 and D and guy but had no 3. Griffin is the 3 and we'll see if he can defend. He can't put the ball down and create at the next level from what he's shown so far. He can drive on these kids that are running to him with poor closeouts at this level.

the point i am making is that griffin is far from 1 dimensional. he's a 3 level scorer and showed all of that just last night against arkansas and has scored/handled in isolation plenty this season. WTF are you watching?

This tournament has been amazing.
I knew it was gonna be good and unpredictable cause the regular season had every team going through ups and downs but I wasn't expecting this. So many great games.
Yesterday's were kinda trash but other than that it's been some good hard fought entertainment.

But you're wrong though. Griffin is not one dimensional. He's far more well rounded offensively than Winslow ever was. Winslow was great at slashing and defense, but he did not have the driving skills or the shot AJ has. Aj can hit the mid range, shoot off the bounce, shoot off screens, dribble drive, etc. He can do it all.

Yea but Duke would destroy them. And I’m sure the refs would make sure Duke wins.

Cinderellas typically only go so far. Sports media don’t want them winning it all

Rock Chalk we in this bytch, time to punch our ticket to the final four

St Peter’s is a very cool story but we need UNC/Duke for the culture.

KU guards can't score nor stop anyone from scoring
