MBB: Duke v. Louisville NCAA Elite 8 (5:05pm EDT) CBS Pre-Game&In-Game Thread

Sucks to lose but I am incredibly proud of this team. They were a lot of fun to watch and had a solid run here. They needed to control the pace for 40 mins tonight and just could not do it. Credit L'ville for battling all night.

I'll miss this Duke team a lot but I look forward to next year with great excitement.

Go Duke!

Well, knowing what kind of team we have to look forward to next year takes a little of the sting out of this loss. Really hate it for our seniors. But I think next year will be special.

Unfortunately I am not sure how we can pick up quickness at the guard position with the same lineup. Penetrating and the ability to defend penetration have been the analyst's criticism for years except when Kyrie was with us.

great run, 30 wins. thanks to the team and to Coach Collins

The only thing that really frustrated me from today was seeing the tiny amount of Duke support in the stadium. This team should not have had to play an elite 8 game with 95% l'ville fans and 5% duke.

Wow, this game can't get over quick enough for me. The crowd and announcers have just been so in love with Louisville all night and it's really taken a lot of the enjoyment out of it for me.

Thanks to the seniors. Will watch this to the end and will miss Kelly plumlee and curry. All three of their developments have been amazing.

Just lost to the quicker and better team today.

Duke lost to a team that was on fire.

What a great season - no excuses.

Length can help alot, and Mr. Hood has a whole mess of that!

I'm gonna miss you Mason, Ryan, Seth, and Mr. Collins. Duke is losing 4 great people! Good luck to all of you and thanks for all that you have done.
