As expected UW, having trouble with UNC's length and defense.
getting killed on the glass

UNC's length has caused a lot of trouble for UW's offense

Offensively, UNC's PG is very impressive

up next ...

It's Tacko time.

Really hard to listen to duke game with the announcers falling all over each other trying to find new ways to praise everything blue devil

And guess the refs are listening to them too. USF defender is set and duke player runs into him and scores. One of the easiest charge calls I've seen in a while. And one for duke

I think i'll Turn off the sound if I bother to watch any of second half

I know, it was crickets when UCF was up and now they cant shut up

USF has some ballers
Leading duke by 2 with one minute left
Duke ball

Central Florida blew it. Missed a dunk, failed to block out on the missed free throw. Ugh.

Two good looks there at the end for UCF, crud

Obvious two-handed push in the back on the offensive rebound.

Duke at line but misses FT
Duke pushes USF in back to get rebound and put back to go up 1 with 8 seconds left

USF gets good shot and good tip in at buzzer but rolls off

USF also missed Hollywood dunk on two on one break away

That player is going to replay that one in his head all night

Glad I have Tennessee in the final after reading this page about them in the last game.
The tv guys kept wondering why Admiral Schofield remained on the bench down the stretch.

The decision could lead to doubt the next time they are in that position, or serve as a 6th man of unifying trust within the huddle that could carry them far. A neat developing story to see how it works out for them.

And yes, that was a great game, UCF vs Duke.
I felt bad for UCF that they came up short. If only for any one of a few minor changes.

Tacko hacks Zion hard so he doesn't score the AND-1, or doesn't foul at all.
Box out the FT miss, and get the rebound.
Ref calls foul on Duke as the guard drives at end.
Shot rims in, not out.
Dawkins gets the buzzer beating tip at end.

That's the way the cookie crumbles, for one team or another.
Great drama!
