They also had a tougher game... but more significantly, it was against a team they had waited for a year to get at.

Calipari should've done the same with Stein. Take him out for Lyles or Dakari's offense during the final possessions

If 19 year old Shaq is wearing the Duke white, is he in the game right now?

i was born in 1994 i don't remember

I will answet for you....no he would not be. He was a worse freethrow shooter than Ok4 and couldnt guard out on the perimeter.

He's soft but clutch? I didn't see it but if he closed it out after sitting that says alot. Especially since his rhythm was off for most of the second half.

Nice game... could have gone either way. Duke guards end up being the difference, and the fact that Wisconsin was out of sync offensively at the end of the game (got to give Duke's D a lot of credit, though.)

Jones is a gamer, and Allen is a tough SOB.

Wisconsin really faded. Kaminsky gave it a good go. Dekker had a really bad 2nd half and finished 0/6 from 3.

OK4 is my 2nd pick if we end up with that #2 pick. In the NBA He'll have more space and get more touches. By the Combine he'll be in the best shape of his life.

Stop making excuses for wisconsin. Duke beat Vegas in the second game of the final 4. A team they lost to in the previous years tournament just like Wisconsin lost to Kentucky. Duke then beat Kansas in the champioship.

Towns is a 85% FT shooter

Duke has the more balanced team....low post ok4 surrounded by solid guards and all purpose winslow. But their bench and system won the game.

Ok4 who?

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland. The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

okay so now we're comparing okafor to shaquille fricking o'neal. let me ask you this-- would shaq play less than 24 minutes in a 40 minute game? and would it be a close game?

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%
