re: Tide Hoops | 25-12 (13-5)

NC State is doing the exact repeat run of what they did under Valvano.

I'm aamazed... Filipowksi fouls out doing something Edey does 20 times each half but ends games routine far away from foul trouble

Didn’t know final four was at Arizona cardinals stadium.

Same. Literally had to change my hotel reservation last night after the game. Had booked close to the Suns arena before realizing it was in the football stadium.

I get why they do it, tickets are already pretty expensive even with 70k available. Drop that in half or even less and you end up with Super Bowl prices.

Never played basketball in a football stadium, but I wonder if that's a disadvantage for 3 shooting teams...depth perception or whatever. Might favor the team that scores their majority in the paint.

Or it may not matter at all.

Look like I’ll be cheering the rest of the way for Bama, Duke just didn’t shoot the ball well or guard well the second half

Marquis Maze can frick off.

ESPN just reseeded the final 4 and put us fourth…. Adding fuel to the fire at this point.

Depth perception. The bench you have to step down. Players on the bench are watching at players knees level. Elevated court, saves on sidelines and baseline could possibly hurt a player based on elevated court.

Man this is going to be a long week.

And what did Maze do?
