Looking very good right now! EDIT: Tech getting a taste of their own medicine. They blew a 9-point lead in one minute.
I really thought UF was going down. But when the going got tough, they turned up the heat and TT choked like dogs. Clayton is something else. Seems like he was borderline sleepwalking the first 30 mins then flipped the switch. I was wondering what was going on with him. I loved that neither team had any TOs the last minute.
Can't miss 2 wide open 3s and 2 front-ends in the last 2 minutes while the other team is making ridiculous 3s...like dribble out of the paint, turn around, and hit a 3 kinda 3s
Florida was very lucky to advance. Basically 4 of their 5 starters were flat tires. That ain't gonna work next week.
I knew Duke was good, but Duke is better than I thought. eta: you'd have to trade up for him now (unless the Phx pick hits) but Maluach would look so good on the Rox
Obviously Duke is the better team and I expected them to win tonight, but so far this game shows Nate Oates ain't there yet as a big time coach. His helter-skelter approach on both ends of the floor completely breaks down against a well-coached, big, skilled team like Duke. They have been beaten for so many layups it's crazy. On offense, they are being swallowed up in the half court. Unless they can start defending the basic fundamental plays by Duke and get more transition opportunities, they got no chance.
Have to hope for Lottery Luck on the pick from Phoenix because trading up high enough for Maluach will be difficult.. If there is Lottery Luck with the pick from Phoenix, then Houston will be in a great position.
