I trust Nolen quite a bit. He's a very good point guard outside of his inability to shoot.

Down by 2 with the ball....they passed the ball around, burning the entire shot clock, and threw up a 3-pt prayer airball with 10 seconds left on the game clock. Worst strategy I've seen since.........oh, the end of the Gophers-Ohio State game. Why do teams do this when they are behind in the last minute?

It's that Princeton Offense. It's effective in making most possessions worthwhile, but it is not designed to prep you for a last shot type of situation.

Lucky to not have that cost them. Very stale 1/2 court offense.

Unfortunately not. A very good friend of mine has a big music recital tonight, and I didn't feel like saying, "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm going to a basketball game instead." Oh, well. I'll do what I normally do when I can't catch a game live -- DVR it, answer no phone calls from family/friends, and watch it later that evening.

Non sequitur. The only time I can remember those loyalties conflicting was in the 2004 women's Elite Eight (and, along with my home state loyalty, I had a crush on Lindsay Whalen, so I was cheering for the Gophers).

The true test. If Duke was playing in Ann Arbor today, where would the recital rank?

Just givin' ya crap. Dukie.

Pete would have a tough decision.....as much as he is a sports fan, he is also a huge music fan with a music major from Duke if I recall correctly.

And I don't care what the announcers try to tell me. I prefer this team when Nolen is not on the court.

They had 2 starters that didn't grab a single board in a combined 52 minutes.
