Duke will always shoot more free throws than the other team. Until Shitshefski is gone this will continue.

This is true.

So being the last B1G team does that help recruiting?

At the very least it has the incoming committed freshmen for next year pumped and ready to go.

Michigan?s 2018 class of recruits enjoyed watching their future teammates roll to the victory. Especially point guard David DeJulius Jr. of Detroit East English Village, who was at the game with his father. He said he?ll be staying for the West Regional final on Saturday.

?They played great ball,? DeJulius Jr. wrote in a text to Land of 10. ?Zavier [Simpson] played very well. Pressured the ball hard, went on a stretch that helped blow the game open. Love what he?s doing.?

?I loved to see them blow them out but originally I didn?t think it would be that way,? said Colin Castleton, a 6-foot-10 center from Daytona Beach (Fla.) Father Lopez High School. ?I thought we were going to win by about 10 or so but we came out ready to play right from the jump. Texas A&M just did not know what to do on defense or offense. It was awesome to see.?

?I did watch those first two games,? said Castleton. ?I was talking to [assistant] coach Luke [Yaklich] about the 10-day stretch and how it affected them. He said he wasn?t worried but that stretch did hurt them pretty bad. They got the two wins and that?s all that really matters, that they got those wins and the big shot by Jordan [Poole], which everybody is talking about. That?s why they?re here.

?They stepped up their game because once you get into the Sweet 16, these teams are really elite.?

?I think they have a fire under them right now, and that?s to win the whole thing,? said forward Brandon Johns of East Lansing. ?This is all coming together for a really strong team.?

Yes. Next year's team is all set. In fact, if someone doesn't leave, they are going to be over the scholarship limit. Matthews and Wagner were thought to be possible early exits after this year, but Wagner is projected in the 2nd round and after Matthews shit the bed most of the season, he isn't projected at all. If he plays a whole season like he did last game, he'd move up a lot.

I don't know what they are going to do with that situation.

This could help their 2019 recruiting and beyond, though. We will see.

Loyola out of the gates fast. KState does not look ready to play.

Amazing ..And the first team in the Final Four is LOYOLA-Chicago un-freakin'-believable!!!! 31 wins is a school record. First Final Four since 1963 Championship team. First 11 seed since Vcu team to make final four. Wow that Team is the only from the state of Illinois to win a title was that 1963 team.

Really happy for them. My oldest brother went to Loyola-Chicago. This is one of the great things about this tournament, even small schools can go on a run.

nope...just waiting to laugh when they get beat by a good team.

TT just got hosed by the refs. Down 5, obivous contact on them, no call. Go down the other way, no contact, foul on TT

bullshit!

This is why I cannot stand teams like Duke, Villanova, and Kansas. They have great players and get all the calls. They shouldn't need the refs, but they get them anyway.
