Love Duke basketball and Coach K.
I am a Gamecock. I am a happy camper today.

Had Duke won I would have been disappointed, but would be pulling for Duke to go all the way instead of whining.

Author should take a lesson from Coach K. Remember the picture if him in Mercer’s locker room, congratulating after Mercer beat Duke? Class.

Go Gamecocks!!!!

Yep. Still a few Whitney schools left. Maybe Gonzaga can mess up their entitled coronation.

To be fair, Coach K has ripped Trump and the bathroom law.

Arrogance can really result in downfall when it is undermined by spirit, teamplay, and performance.

In a way it reminds you of the movie “Hoosiers”

Duke is a stereotypical liberal Hate America; Hate conservatives; Hate Trump factory. Their suspension of Allen for one game and Coach K’s support of perverts in the little girls’ room makes this a sweet win for karma. SCHADENFREUDE to the MAX!!!!!

Please provide some background or evidence or quotes from Coach Few, his staff or his players that Gonzaga feels “entitled.”

“Not a Duke fan here but Coach K is a conservative.”

“Conservative” Coach K has spoke loud and clear about the need to repeal the NC bathroom law. He puts basketball and making money for Dook over common sense and the safety and welfare of children.

Dook lost to SC because they had not seen that suffocating SC defense up close and personal. That’s why SC has won the first three games when they not one of the top tier teams in the SEC. SEC teams are used to playing them. The defense didn’t seem to bother ten other teams this year. Yes,SC lost 10 games, with 7 of those loses being to SEC teams. They lost three of the last five games heading into the NCAA tournament, with one of those loses by 15 points to Florida. They play Florida again tomorrow in the Elite 8.
