Of course, the commentators aren’t always paying close attention to the game
    What happens if the coach is out of timeouts so has none to lose?

    The refs would then invoke Rule 9f; call 919-ROY-KNEW, speak the password (muda umeisha, which is timeout in Swahili) and request the additional timeout from the stockpile of Ol' Huck.

And only now is KU concerned about an NCAA investigation?
    Totally agree with you, DBA. It has always amazed me that Kansas has had all this swirling around their program for years, yet they seem to get a free pass from everyone - recruits, the media, and the NCAA. Arizona too. Can you imagine what would be said about our program if even one of those players had gone to Duke?

    I think it’s about time the NCAA finally starts looking into both those schools. I just hope that the NCAA moves faster than a snail’s pace, and recruits start seeing the clouds converging over Lawrence.

    an unsuccessful challenge to a call will be charged as a timeout. So if he wins the challenge, no TO, but otherwise there's no free TO.

    I would add a school that has cheated for years to those two, but they are bullet proof when it comes to the NCAA. GoDuke!

    Who you rooting for in Tennessee-UK?

    So here's a tough question: who do you root for in the big Tennessee-UK game tomorrow? I'm honestly torn. A couple Tennessee losses down the stretch would go a long way towards us securing the No. 1 overall seed in the tourney. However, a couple more Kentucky losses would all but eliminate them from No. 1 seed contention, making our overall claim to a No. 1 seed stronger in case we falter a touch down the stretch... plus, I think a UK loss helps Michigan more (as my Wolverine's will need to jump Kentucky to have a shot at a No. 1 seed, or at least get the top 2 seed).

    Then there's the non-logical side of things, which says screw UK always... plus I sort of like how Tennessee plays ball.

    What're people thinking?

    This is a tough one. I am rooting for both to lose.

    I would just prefer Kentucky not be our 2 seed.

    And to be a little more serious, is there anyone left on Tennessee’s schedule who could possibly beat them? That is the one reason to root for KY.

    Agree completely. I want them, and several other schools, to be on the opposite side of the draw.

    If those are the two things you are weighing in your mind, you should root for Kentucky. Duke's margin over TN for the overall 1 seed is less than Duke's margin over UK for a 1 seed.

    During the bracket reveal, the Selection Committee guy basically said that Duke and TN were a coin flip for overall #1. (This was surprising to me, btw. I thought we were clearly the overall 1 at that point). We've probably gained some distance on them since then with the wins @UVA and @Lville, though.

    Yes, according to KenPom rank, Tennessee has not played any of other top 6 teams in the SEC yet.

    2 games with #7 Kentucky, @#20 LSU, @#36 Ole Miss, vs #23 Mississippi St, and @#17 Auburn. They also play vs #128 Vandy.

    Besides Vandy the only game that they are more than a 66% favorite is Mississippi St (81%).

    I'd put the over/under at 5-2 for Tennessee against that slate

    That's very much along the lines of what I was thinking, although I agree that I think we've pulled ahead after our last two games. Plus, we have more opportunities to improve our resume down the stretch then they do. At the moment those competing factors are basically balanced in my head, so the Michigan rooting interest plus UK hatred may have me leaning towards Tennessee.

    I'll be rooting for Kentucky for 2 reasons...

    1) I want Duke to be undisputed #1. We are already #1 in the advanced metrics. Now we should add the human polls to cement our status as the best in the land.
    2) We beat the !#*#$& out of Kentucky earlier this year. If the Wildcats look good it makes our destruction of them seem all the more impressive.

    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Exactly. I’ll have to shower afterwards, but I’ll be rooting for UK.

    I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!
    GTHKY GTH! Duke does not need anyone to lose to look like anything. Destiny is in their own hands. Bring on all comers. If the good guys play with maximum intensity they will win. If not they let others have a chance. I am really interested in how Duke comes out against State. If they blow the doors off, step on their necks and say, "Not today - no chance!" then they learned the right lesson in Louisville. If they come out with another lackluster first half.....well then all this talk about positioning becomes relevant I suppose. This is the one team that the basketball gods can't touch if they play hard ALL THE TIME.

    If this happens I might cry. I want to see Duke-Michigan in the Final Four and no earlier.

    If it’s MSU, I’ll have a difficult time with my son, sister in law, brother in law, and niece. But they’ll have a difficult time with me. And MSU doesn’t look like an Elite Eight team these days.

    I might be a bit biased as a Vol for Life, but I will never cheer for Kentucky (unless they play the Cheats and even then I don't feel good about it). It's strange to have any conflict between cheering for Duke and cheering for the Vols. The Vols have never really been relevant to what was going on in Durham before. I would agree with those above who argue that there's no need to cheer against Tennessee. If Duke takes care of business with their own games, I don't think there's much to worry about. With 2 or 3 wins against both UVa and UNoClass plus all the other quality wins on Duke's resume, it would be nearly impossible for Tennessee to put together a better resume.

    Obviously I'm hoping for a meeting in Minnesota to settle this on the court.
