2009 Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament

IMO, if we get a South Regional Final with any combo North Carolina, Oklahoma, or Syracuse, that will be the late game.

Yes, such as UNC vs. Arizona St. :up

Gonzaga 81, WKU 77.......................1:20 left

 

[BillD1984]

This Gonzaga-WKU game is like eerily similar to Gonzaga-UCLA.

 

[BillD1984]

Duke-Texas tied at 67 with 1:30 left.

 

[BillD1984]

WOW.....................What a finish!!!! :up

Proud of Duke; they faced adversity, kept their composure, did not start launching 3's and won the game!

I see a Blue win and it looks GLORIOUS!!!!!!!!!

 

[cjwct]

74-69 !!!!!!!!

 

[BillD1984]

Welcome to Boston, Duke.

 

[SabresRule]

Here's why Duke beat Texas:

Duke MADE their free throws; Texas did NOT.

Anders, don't say anything about refs favoring Duke- Duke had 27 free throws, Texas had 25- and had Texas gotten a late rebound, they would have been tied at 25.

Besides, even after Duke missed two late free throws, Texas did NOT get a rebound that could have helped them.

Dear Sweet 16,

sorry we've been gone for three years, but we're back!

Sincerely,

the Gonzaga Bulldogs

 

[BillD1984]

How about the ending to the Gonzaga-WKU game!

Thanks Bill! My heart has started to beat again!

I'm wondering if it will be the early or late game next Thursday night.

We'll probably find out sometime tomorrow night.

I'm gonna try like hell to score some tix through some connections.

Duke is and has been consistently weak underneath throughout this season. Texas easily made points form inside when they tried, but they never went to that . . . thank god!

I can probably do 9pm on . . . fingers crossed!

Well you have a 50/50 shot then.

It seems like CBS trys to put one marquee game in each window for the Regional Semifinals.

dook's such lucky bastards. If Texas just hit their FT's they win. If they get the rebound after dook misses 2 FT's they have a chance. They had a 3 point shot for the lead that spun out.

All right I'm a Villanova fan now.

That's what it came down to.

Texas did NOT pounce on their opportuinites; Duke did.
