If by screwed you mean being dumb and throwing away an easy inbound pass, or having a guy go coast to coast, and still have 3 defenders not locate the ball as he's going right behind you for an easy lay in, they yep, they got screwed...

Good call, Eric. Belmont folded in the final minute.

All the Duke fans out there you should be on your hands and knees thanking God for that win last night. I agree is emartin, if they knew how to in bound the ball. They didn't have a man bigger then 6'7' on the floor why would you try and lob it for inbound, then NOT play any defense.

This tournament is turning out to be better then I expected, I cant wait for the later rounds. GO KANSAS!!!!

It's a timing play that they used successfully earlier in the game to score an easy layup. With 4 seconds left, it was probably their best shot opposed to a screen to set up an outside shot. If they make it, coach looks like a genius. Duke doesn't have a big man, why not attack the inside?

Cuz they were already winning. Why not just make sure you get the ball inbounds and run some time off the clock. I'm far more conservative with that kind of thing than most however...

Dangit, c'mon Louisville. For a while here it looked like you were going to make it interesting against NC.

p.s. -- Why does every announcer say "he's going out for a blow" when a guy comes out of the game? I've been tired of that for about 10 years.

curry should have taken the shot. He could have made it or atleast draw the foul. In situations like that you always want your best player shooting

He wasn't the best shooter in the game that kid Barr was. Curry was off tonight, he did have 20 something points but shot 8/20. He just couldn't bang with the big boys. He is 6'2" 185lbs. That is small for a DI player. But hey they had a good run.

Open three by Richards, or a double team double pump three by Curry? I take the open shot by my second best player.

Well hell, he was triple teamed at times. And he did a pretty good job of "banging with the big boys." Robinson, Chalmers and Rush couldn't stop him singlehandedly, and they're all bigger than Curry is. 8-20 shooting is still 40%, and when you're a guard being double and triple teamed, I'll take it.

However, this was the first time that I've seen Curry force more than one shot a game. He forced about three or four. Obviously he knew that if they were going to go to the Final Four that he had to come up big, but he wasn't forcing things the first three games and it worked out.

I think they should have had Richards getting the ball to Curry coming off a screen on the last play, instead of having Curry bring it up court.
