Still have lots of talent but won't shock me to see them get Kenyon Martin'ed right out of the tournament.

Terrible news on Flagg. You don't want to see a kid or a team get their season wrecked like that.

I wish injury on no one. Kid is so exciting to watch. He’s going to play in the NBA for a long time. I hope he can play in the Tournament. He’ll only have a chance at one.

Now the fact that Duke has their season wrecked? Um….Sorry I won’t shed a tear they have had plenty of good fortune.

Sounds like Flagg is going to be ok and might even play tomorrow

 

[sjc88]

One team I want nowhere near our bracket is BYU. Tough team.

Now all eyes are on Flagg’s injury.

If he is not fully fit and ready to go next week (the ACC tournament means nothing), it will open things up in whichever bracket Duke is seeded.

Another Creighton-y looking kid entered portal.

I'll believe that when I see it -- mostly because I would lie about severity of injury right up until seeding committee releases the bracket.

Not that they would ever drop Duke from that line anyway, but a healthy dose of paranoia keeps them No. 1 regardless.

Merely a flesh wound...

Obviously Flagg injury is massive and Duke has every incentive to say he is fine. Without him, they are probably not getting past the second weekend. But don't underestimate the Brown injury either. He's a key glue guy for them.

Sucks though. Never want injuries to get in the way for anybody.

Their prophet is from New York and named Smith. Maybe we can trick them with Deivon?

Was about to post this. 9 game winning streak and doesn't seem flukey. They should be scary next year. Would be a very fun MSG matchup.

Wow. Arkansas loses after missing two FTs. Feel bad for that kid. FTs win games boys. Ugh.

Yes, but I am quickly comforted when I remember who their coach is.

Probably would have lost anyway on that buzzer beating 3

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy I presume!

Never know. They have to take the ball out instead of rebounding and bringing it right up. Maybe they go for the two to tie. We’ll never know. Hell of a finish and hell of a way to lose.

Duke coach Jon Scheyer said it's a "real long shot" that freshman star Cooper Flagg will be able to play in the ACC tournament semifinals because of an ankle sprain.

We will know soon if Jon is from the Pitino sdhool of injury updates or not.
