Was this done intentionally since you’re talking about Federico Federico?

NA! NA! NA! NA! NA! GO GATORS! OMG!  I had to do all of my I.U. rituals for close games at the end of that one.  I really thought they were going to lose until T.T. missed those free throws.

I knew as soon as they showed that crying kid in the Florida jersey that Florida would end up winning. 

Just imagine how many media lives it saved!

Getting way ahead of myself here, but say Florida and Duke reach the title game ... 

I find it difficult to imagine there's ever been a championship game coached by two guys in their 30s.

I think Donovan and Matta were both right around 40 when Florida beat O$U. 
I know Branch was only 31 when he won his first, but he beat Kansas so Phog had to be 100 by then lol

[IUHoosier5]

Just a putrid effort by Alabama to give up that offensive rebound which lead to a 3. Huge swing

Matta was 39 and Donovan was 41.

Is it me or does Sears looks like Kevin Hart running around against Duke's bigger players...

I really don’t like Duke, but they’re talented, smart, well coached.  They just don’t make many mistakes.

Probably should just say that they play fundamentally sound basketball as a TEAM.

[TheWatShot]

Duke getting hosed by the stripes, you don't see that every decade. 

[Asha’man]

Bama dying by the 3 tonight. And their defense isn’t elite to keep it closer. Game is over imo.

Just call me Rico

I hate to say it but I am really impressed with Duke.  The "new guy" can coach talent.

[cbp4iu]

Bama no bueno tonight

[TheWatShot]

LOL at the "largest lead tonight" graphic when Duke went up by 20. 

[TheWatShot]

Just found out Florida coming back from the dead killed my bracket. I'm behind a person who picked the same teams in the remaining games. 

 

Bracket contests are stupid anyways.

That’s Bamas and Oats m.o. And why I’ve never been as high on him as others. He’s a good coach but hard to run off 6 straight games when your philosophy is literally live and die by the 3, especially if you can’t defend. When they’re on they look amazing but last night they were like 25% from 3.

I have them in the final game so does my sister and brother in law.
