    I think if Williams was on the East coast, he would be in the discussion for NPOY. Duke will probably win going away, though they should be up by much more than they are now.

    He would BE the NPOY.

    Williams is on fire, but even if he stays that way, Arizona isn't gonna win this game. Duke has too many weapons, while 'Zona is a one man show.

    The only thing that could hurt Duke is foul trouble, but all the guys who had two made it to halftime without picking up a third, so they'll probably be ok.

    Watch williams won't even get to 35 now. We talked him up too much.

    K will make some adjustments and limit him in the second half. It'll be up to someone else to step up for Arizona, and I'm guessing that won't happen.

    How many calls will Duke get this half? Freakin' ridiculous.

    Because they foul like crazy, undisciplined garbage.

    Hell of a play from Singler

    Cool story bro story coming

    I did the exact same thing in a game my senior year. The official helped me up and said that's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. I just laughed. Hustling like that was the ONLY way my short ass was getting any PT.

    great effort, but backfired, which was too bad. Had to come out with blood and Zona hit a 3.

    Now on a run, with Singler on bench. Cant fault him though, it was a hell of a play that just turned out to hurt Duke.

    Yeah, I think Coach K jumped the gun though. They barely started working on him and he sent Kelly to the table.

    And Kelly is easily the most unathletic player in the arena.

    ok, he dives and Zona gets possession. 3. He doesnt dive and williams has a lay-up.

    3>2....is that more clear?
  • wildcats20
    Singler's 3rd, only 4 minutes in.

    I think the officials probably sent him out. It was pretty bad.

    Duke just falling apart despite the refs trying to give them the game.

    Usually I'm with you on duke getting calls. But not in this game. It's been pretty even. Only thing you could say is that they've called ticky tack calls and yet let more physical play underneath go.
  • Midstate01
    The other guys from Zona really playing well now.

    Duke may be in trouble here

    momomomomom or however you spell it Jones, is killing it.

    Because Arizona is the better team. Duke will start getting the calls once they realize this.

    That is in NO WAY, SHAPE, or FORM a foul.

    Clean block there by Plumlee
  • Midstate01
    That was clean up top. But he def hit his head on the follow through.
  • Midstate01
    Like I said earlier, take duke off the dribble. It's too easy.
