And Auburn is going to the Final Four!! They’ve had a remarkable run in March, I’m very surprised they’ve gotten to the Final Four.
Kentucky’s offense just went somewhat cold in the second half, and they didn’t get enough from their guards IMO.

The Round Mound has to be giddy as hell.
Two teams getting their first Final Fours, one with their first FF since Reagan's first administration.
Now the blue bloods play.

Not one vote for Duke. Strange team, if you put (arguably) the two best players in CBB on any team, wouldn't they be a Final Four threat? Past Zion and RJ, this isn't that great of a team. Tre Jones is a very good defensive player, Cam Reddish is hot and cold, when healthy. They have some good role players, but nothing remarkable. But they have Zion, who scares the bejeezus out of teams and RJ Barrett, who feeds off the fear. A lot of times, there's ten eyeballs on Zion and none on RJ. And there's Krzyzewski. Love him or hate him, he knows how to coach and he really knows how to coach in March. Izzo is no slouch but K is the best tournament coach in history (yeah, Wooden. UCLA's bench could have won national titles). I think K has been the difference so far. But Duke stinks at the FT line and behind the arc.

I don't know what it is, but after what we've seen in the games that have gone before and what happened in the Duke/Sparty first half, these two "blue blood" teams look ordinary.
Neither side can hit a three pointer, both of them missed point blank layups, Zion had to be taken out because of foul trouble, and, he looks like he's panicking already, in the first half.
Whoever is more consistent in the second half wins.

Sparty needs to keep taking it to the hoop.

Huge three for MSU ended up changing the outcome. Duke with like 4 fouls would have needed a turnover there at the end. No time to foul 2-3 more times.

Duke was not that lucky this time. So close. Only one #1 seed in the Final Four.

DOWN GOES DUKE!!!!
Sparty did a great job in this game, their size and versatility allowed them to beat the Blue Devils, Duke was too thin, behind Zion and Barrett they didn’t have anyone who could score consistently, if they had had a deeper team they would’ve been very hard to beat.
I’m thrilled that Duke isn’t going to the Final Four, I hate Duke and Coach K and I’m sick of the Zion circle jerk.

Zion got a little gun shy there at the end. Not really sure what happened with him but he needed to take at least 1 if not 2 of the last 3 shots.

Literally almost every other year, there is a team that I had going out in the first round who ends up getting to the Final Four. This year, it's Auburn. Of course, they only did beat New Mexico State in that opening game by one!
