Duke is not going to win this game.

I just found out that my daughter's softball team in rec league this year is going to be the North Carolina Tar Heels. Life couldn't be better.

SI

Impossible for it to be a charge if the defender is inside the semi-circle under the basket.

His feet weren't even close to set. That was definitely a blocking foul

SI

The arc under the basket. If the defender is inside of it, then it is blocking, I think.

wade moore · 03-16-2012, 08:20 PM

LeHigh has taken some really bad shots in the last couple of minutes.

Not the way you beat Duke.

Oh- that's what that little thing on the floor is. I was wondering

SI

Maybe. I've seen it called a charge plenty of times I think.

I think it was at least 50/50ish.

Either way, just an attempt at a cheap joke anyways.

Radii · 03-16-2012, 08:21 PM

I feel like Lehigh needed to be up about 7 here but they've missed a couple open shots and free throws and its going to bite them.

Yeah. NBA started using it a few years ago (I don't know exactly when).

I think it's a good rule change.

Yup.

If McCollum makes the rushed 3 early in the shot clock a couple of possessions ago, it's an entirely different game.

+1

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 08:23 PM

Michigan has now reminded me of one of life's great mysteries against underdogs. Why not press sooner? I remember screaming at KU to do it against Northern Iowa the year we lost that game. Usually the higher seeded team has better athletes and longer athletes so why not play to those strengths?

That's an excellent simple statement that is absolutely perfect

ColtCrazy · 03-16-2012, 08:24 PM

So i'm stuck in the twins room since they won't go to bed lately without someone sitting with them. I'm updating this page and ESPN for updates. Good news is my 8 year old is downstairs watching the games and will give me his expert breakdown when I get out.

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 08:24 PM

Uhoh, Duke

SI

TroyF · 03-16-2012, 08:24 PM

wade moore · 03-16-2012, 08:24 PM

The big for LeHigh has played VERY respectable on D and rebounding imo.

Really ruh-roh now

oh my Duke

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 08:25 PM

Didn't he just walk about 4 steps for that dunk? Not that it's ever called, but...

SI

MizzouRah · 03-16-2012, 08:25 PM

Duke losing would make the Mizzou loss a tad better easier to take.

ColtCrazy · 03-16-2012, 08:26 PM

Nevermind...forgot I signed up for the NCAA thing. Sitting in the dark, watching the Ohio final. Loving me some Bobcats!

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 08:26 PM

Huge roll for Duke and this isn't over yet. Great D by Lehigh- they were all over everyone like glue but Curry stepped so far back that it wouldn't be prudent to guard and he knocked it down

SI

dave731 · 03-16-2012, 08:27 PM

OHIO!!! YES!!!

ColtCrazy · 03-16-2012, 08:27 PM

Think that's it for Michigan! YES!

mauchow · 03-16-2012, 08:27 PM

Uhhhh -- What a horrible possession for MIchigan to close out the game. Burke three pointer with over 30 seconds to go - they miss and get extremely lucky the ref calls the ball out on Ohio -- Burke tries another three and offensive rebound for Michigan and then, I think Novack tries to be tricky and turns it over.......

Try for two points, fools.

MJ4H · 03-16-2012, 08:27 PM

holy shit at that shot of the Lehigh cheerleaders

sterlingice · 03-16-2012, 08:27 PM

Michigan is down! Is Duke next?

SI

spleen1015 · 03-16-2012, 08:28 PM

WTF Thornton? YOU ARE TERRIBLE.

k0ruptr · 03-16-2012, 08:28 PM

Upset Friday is forming.

dave731 · 03-16-2012, 08:29 PM

now to watch Duke pull this out somehow....

ColtCrazy · 03-16-2012, 08:29 PM

This could be one of the best 5 minute spans in upset history. Loving it.

spleen1015 · 03-16-2012, 08:29 PM

Two 15 seeds in one day. Mother fucker.

So who has a Lehigh-Norfolk St. National Semifinal match?

Matthean · 03-16-2012, 08:31 PM

Disappointing as hell finish to Michigan's season. Compound this with the OSU loss and I wonder how the hell this team split the Big Ten title. The good news is the incoming talent is far superior to what is leaving, but that's next year.

bhlloy · 03-16-2012, 08:32 PM

This might have been the most fun I've had watching sports in one day ever. From rooting for FSU not to get upset and blow up my brackets, to watching Mizzou go down and not caring that it blew up my brackets, to now flipping between Ohio and Lehigh both trying to complete massive upsets. Epic all around.

mauchow · 03-16-2012, 08:32 PM

One of the leaders on ESPN has LEhigh winning - but had Mizzou winning (but losing in the second round... wow

Karlifornia · 03-16-2012, 08:32 PM

Oh, god. Now I'm going to lose Mason Plumlee in Top Gun. Oh well. Let the madness continue!

Now if only St. Mary's could make a miracle comeback.
