    Looking at the data....Duke seems inflated. They haven't played a single defense anywhere close to UH's level unless you go back to the game vs Auburn at the beginning of December. Their best players are all freshmen. They've been gassed up most of the week. The defensive ratings of the teams they've beaten this tourney are: 27, 37, 64.

    The offensive ratings of the teams UH has beaten: 6, 7, 17.

    I think Duke's offense is closer to what UH has seen than what UH's defense is to what Duke has seen.

    The initial "shock" factor is why I believe UH will get off to a good start. Keeping their nerve, continuing to be aggressive on offense and weathering the storm when it happens are the big question marks for me.

    UH will put a lot of pressure on the refs to call it tight. If they call it loose then UH should be favored. The other issue working against Duke is that Vegas will not be on their side either. And it's a home game for UH.

    No doubt Duke has not seen this level of Defense intensity. I feel like our ideal scenario is the punch him in the mouth Get Up by 15 points with a lot of turnovers and rebounds and then in the second half when they adjust some we need to have a very hot shooting game out of LJ, Milos or Sharp. Then hang on for the win. I see this is a close final score matter which way it goes.

    Go Coogs

    If you had to NBA Jam the Final Four, would your duo be Uzan and Tugler?

    My guess is that the officials call this one tighter than they have been to better protect their Golden boy. That's not great for Houston. I have no doubt that Houston CAN beat Duke, but they're going to have to shoot well and hope the officiating is at least reasonably fair to do so. I think it will be a low scoring and close game. Hopefully the Coogs can pull it off.

    I found this to be a really great listen especially at the part where he talks about Samson mentoring him about life.

    The most accomplished program to never win a national championship. They may bring home the Chip this year.

    Yeah, me too. Don't like these later night games. Weather is a bit rough in Eastern Texas. Wonder how it is in SA?

    It has to be rough on the players having to wait all day. I don't understand why they'd make them late. It's pointless. Weather is good in SA. .
