To me there was never any doubt how the game would go. Arky dictated everything 

Agreed.  Didn't have to see much to see how Arky was matching up and dictating the pace.  I was afraid they would mess up their rhythm at the end just sitting on it, but they maintained their patience mostly.

I thought Muss would be a great get for Arky.  I only dislike him now because of his arrogance but he's a dang good coach. 2 elite 8s and knocking off the top overall seed in his 100th game as Ark coach, that's after beating a #1AP team earlier in the year.

What a game.

[WarEagle1983 2,185]

And the Zags...gone zag. It was a good game though. 

[WarEagle1983 2,185]

I got Tech and Zona to cap off the night. Let's see how it goes!

[Mikey 16,614]

I didn't think Arky could beat a good team if Nolte had a bad night shooting. He definitely had a bad night shooting!

The #1 seeds keep falling...

If Providence can beat Kansas, there won't even be a 1 seed in the Elite 8. That would be a first since seeding began in 1979.

I think St. Peter's will meet the same fate as the other two #15s to make the Sweet 16, but if they could knock off Purdue, what a story that would make for Sunday.

This tournament is showing that if u have a team that plays smart and have a good system u can win.

Knowing that Reggie Miller is calling the Midwest regional takes away a lot of the sting of losing. At least we didn’t have to endure that.

Iowa State making the game ugly and hustling

We'd had a hard time beating any of the teams that won in the first 2 games....I know everyone is jumping on the St. Peter's wagon, but if you watch their offense, there's a lot of ball movement and guys running around to create space...we had too much of a tendency of standing around and pounding the ball without creating anything positive...

Guards that impose their will on the opponent is the common theme of the elite eight teams.  There have been dominant performances from guards.  Hit three pointers in the high 30's from a % standpoint and 80% free throw shooting.

Watching Miami game tonight - if we played them again, same result. They play at a higher gear (playing only 7 players). Next year we must have more pace and spacing.

Yea all of these teams have substance to their offense. A lot of sets and high IQ ball is being played.

Arky vs. Duke.  Go Arky!!!

[MaxCohen216 514]

Looks like I'm alone in here tonight so far...oh well...

Arky leading 9-6 early.

[MaxCohen216 514]

Duke now leading 16-14.  Arky will win.

But in the mean time, I'm as lonely as a Maytag repairman in here.  Where is everybody?

[MaxCohen216 514]

I love coach K.  But I hope his team gets beat bad tonight.

Banchero was gifted with a foul call when there was no foul.  Shooting two.

[MaxCohen216 514]

Duke ahead by 6.  Let's go Arky.  Pick it up.

Arky just shot an air ball.

[MaxCohen216 514]

And Arky threw the ball out of bounds.  Turnover.

[MaxCohen216 514]

Duke charge!!!  Arky ball.

[MaxCohen216 514]

Arky cold from the perimeter.  But drew an offensive foul.  Coach K in disbelief.

[MaxCohen216 514]

Arky giving up easy baskets down low.

[MaxCohen216 514]

Duke taking control of late.  Up by eight.
