>>>Thanks for posting that. Duke was robbed Saturday. UNC shot 7 more foul shots which was the margin of victory.

UNC led late in the game. Since the team that is trailing usually has to foul to stop the clock, the fact that UNC had more foul shots is not that surprising.

I'll fill you in. There's a goat that has swallowed some dynamite on the Andy Griffith show. An AM radio floated up on the beach of Gilligan's Island and Beaver is stuck in a soup bowl on a Billboard. HTH

Just a quick follow up to previous post.
Fouls and free throw attempts in ACC play this year. Teams with better records tend to get more free throw attempts, probably because they are more likely to be leading at the end of the game.

Put your bets on UCONN. Their Seniors are not going out without anything but another Championship ! They want it more than anyone else!

I think UConn has probably the best chance to win it all this year, too. Mind you, watch out for that team from Chapel Hill, NC--Coach Roy Williams has really got that team going despite the fact the team has almost no experienced players in the tournament!

So University of Memphis dropped #5 after losing one to another rated team. Tennessee is not even in the top 10.

We will probably get the third or fourth #1 seed for the NOAA Tournament. With the respect that we get, we will probably be sent to Oakland, not Dallas or Atlanta closer to home.
