Pound duke go!

as hard as it is to say, I can't argue. Have a big future on UL and I'm considering hedging some with Duke

[BIGDAY]

Don't fuk me TPoweller!!!!

[InTheDrink]

tony will you cough and hack on me

[tony_come]

Powell duke guards are the key to them winning

Drinker meet me in the restroom

Rectum park

they don't stand a chance staying in front of Russ Smith if he's anywhere near healthy though.

[pavyracer]

They have a cold and not a strep throat. Apparently you didn't even read the articles you posted.

Articles say Siva has early onset of strep throat. Come on Paver!

Sounds like a smoke screen to me.

[Wilfred]

C'mon now that Ohio State lost its up to Lousville to win and I clinch my bracket pool.

possibly but Russ Smith was sitting on a stool away from the bench against Oregon when he wasn't in the game.

[EaglesPhan36]

I'm not saying they're not sick, but when coaches volunteer info like this .... it seems like they're playing mind games more often than not.

true but any kind of baggage in these type games lead to disaster

[EaglesPhan36]

Just doesn't sound all that severe when you read everything. Might cause them to run out some guys in shorter bursts or maybe use timeouts a bit more frequently for extra rest ... but they'll have had close to 48 hours since Friday. I really don't think it's a factor overall that would sway my decision making process. If anything, you'd think Louisville is stronger for playing through that especially when their best weapon scored 30 and admitted being about 70%

Same here man.....I'm in first currently with 2 guys right behind me. They have Duke and would jump me

Worst I can do is 3rd pretty sure

If Louisville wins tomorrow, I clinch 1st and my dad locks up 2nd in a pool of about 20 people

Thinking about hedging on Duke ML even though I think Louisville gets it done

[BettingWizard]

the players on the news just said Siva is the only one now kinda sick, and he's even a lot better than yesterday

sounds to me like they came out to the news with it then backed off it for some reason

[CarpeDime]

hmm from what i'm reading, seems like it has been an issue all tourney long and hasn't mattered yet, siva seems to be saying they are all getting better now

[pavyracer]

No one looks at the positive news. If these guys were sick with a mild cold they at least stayed in their hotels and didn't go out partying staying up late. So they slept well and played video games in their rooms.

[rcene]

Do not forget that before Landers left for London, he released Louisville to win it all.

[k13]

Already making excuses for when they lose.

[Saunders FTW]

Duke beat them soundly in the regular season, not sure why that should change today. Sick or healthy Duke wins.

saunders with the dumbass comment of the day

first, 5 points is a sound win?

second, dieng didnt play in game 1 so id say that might change things....if you dont think it matters then you havent been watching much basketball

I stand corrected. That is actually the truth, I have not watched one game of college bball this season, that includes the NCAA tourney.

[kfranz31]

sounds like a set up to get screwed by the dukies

[EaglesPhan36]

In the end, just sounds like some Pitino mind games. Don't think he was looking for an edge really because Coach K isn't gonna fall for any of this bullshit. Maybe Ricky just wanted to puff up the chests of his players for playing sick and let everyone know they beat Oregon with a bunch of sick dudes. The stupid shit coaches do. Both games today oughta be crackers.

[DOM_Toretto]

I'm calling BS. Patino saying "Russ infected the entire team..." Doesn't sound realistic to me.

Calling bs here, but I did actually like the Duke+3 spread before hearing this nonsense.

[You mad bro]

if ville loses today this will be his excuse ... its the only reason why he made this thread anyway to have an excuse if his team loses ... fckn pathetic attention thread thats all
