Warren Buffet has pledged 1 Billion (with a "B") dollars to anyone that fills out a perfect bracket this year.

Where do we submit?

This video gives me nightmares of our small perimeter and wing who can't close out.

That Wragge guy, man he's one dimensional, but he does that one thing ridiculously well. I don't know what his 3pt% is on the season, but in the three or so games I've seen of Creighton, he's probably shot the three at about a 70% clip - and some are from Jimmer range.

no kidding.

Wragge again!

They hit 21 total 3s. Insane.

How was there no mention of the Syracuse v Duke game? Great game from beginning to end in front of a record setting crowd. Jabari looked very aggressive tonight. He was blocked numerous times yet came back stronger and stronger each time. Very impressed with his game. CJ Fair had a career high as well as Grant. Tyler Ennis continues to make his case as the best freshmen in the country and is on the short list for the Wooden award. I love the make up if this team.

It was a really good game. Duke was only in it because of all the 3's they hit. I really like Fair. So smooth.

I'm watching it right now. It's 47-43 for the Orange - so much fun to watch. I love CJ Fair and have been impressed with Grant as well tonight.

Quick thought as I watch this Duke/Cuse game.

With Parker and Jefferson in foul trouble, Duke has Marshall Plumlee in there at the 5 and playing in the high post area on offense against Syracuse's zone. Plumlee will catch the ball at about the FT line and Syracuse will back off several feet and only play the pass. Plumlee has grown up in a basketball family with two basketball playing brothers - has probably been playing organized basketball since he was five years old, IIRC was a McD's All-America (meaning he supposedly has some level of basketball talent, unlike somebody, like, say, Luke Worthington), is now a 21 year old sophomore and has played countless games in his yard against his brothers, yet somehow he can't turn and shoot a jumper from the FT line? WTF?

Ha. I know the exact play you're talking about. He's at the free throw line and everyone gives him the wide open shot and he pivots in a circle looking to pass the ball to anyone who will take it from him. I had the exact same thought as you. It's a joke he was a McDonald's AA. He's the worst of the brothers and I think is only at Duke because of them. Coach K gave him a legacy bonne.

It was great to see Duke lose. It also made my heart warm to see Parker foul out.

I was also surprised Duke staying close with both frontline players fouling out. It would not surprise me to see Duke win the rematch.

It wasn't just Plumlee. Jefferson caught the ball several times at the high post. The defense would back off but he didn't even pivot to face the basket, just kicked it back out to one of the wings. Parker was the only big who I saw attack from the high post. I wonder if it was a specific part of their game plan against the zone? Fun game to watch.

What's worse is he had a bad pass out of the high post to the wing but the guard still made an out if rhythm three.
