    Wow, what a game. Anyone that missed this, missed the game of the night so far. Eric Manor was unbelievable in the clutch, his close to the basket pull up jumpers are automatic, and he can hit the mid range too. He is so quick and explosive also. Greg Paulus also had a good game. He's got a really good long range shot from what I saw, and he is good at finding seems to drive through. He's a smart PG.The finish was unbelievable. Manor hit the game winning mid range jumper. I am so glad Duke lost in the first round. First upset of the tourney!Go Eric Manor! NBA prospect? He's averaged like 13 and 6 as a sophomore. That's pretty damn good.

    Great game.Was this an amazing upset? No, because Duke was probably overseeded (I believe because was better than them) and Duke has been bad all yaer, with no depth on the bench...so, not shocked...

    F*ck this game. It messed up my perfect bracket, and made me look like an idiot for me saying "write this down, Duke will win by 8-12". haha...O well, I am rooting for them. I liked what I saw out of Minor btw. He is quick as hell...

    If Manor keeps it up this tourney I guarantee he is an nba prospect

    I picked them in my bracket...Duke is weak and I knew they would crumbleThey were unranked for like one week even though they lost like 5 in a rowThey're so overrated every year

    It's not really a big surprise to me. I choose VCU to win. Duke really wasn't a strong team this year. Though both teams played wih some heart

    I have VCU beating Pitt next. This didn't come as a surprise to me. I picked them because in the VCU/George Mason game I saw how good the team could be and how Eric Maynor is a really good player.

    I chose VCU to win this one. Finally, I get one f*cking upset right. McRoberts fouling out killed it for Duke. Maynor was sensational and the defense from VCU down the stretch was awesome. Great game.

    Not really a shocker, Duke sucks, period. Once the ball went into Paulas's hands I knew the game was done. Paulas is awful, I hope Duke gets a freshman recruit at PG to take his place.

He was the only player on Duke's team that came to play! He had 25 points...Paulas played his heart out the whole game. Mcroberts really sh!t down his leg he is so inconsistent! They need to get a new PF/C recruit to take his place.

    Re: WOW! VCU over Duke!

    I wanted to pick VCU so badly, but for some reason I didn't trust them. Poop. It seems to be destiny for the CAA (correct abbrev., right?)<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (MaRdYC26 @ Mar 15 2007, 08:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>you all look like idiots.It's Eric Maynor</div>Your first post was pretty incoherent. I wouldn't be talking if I were you.

He doesn't have that good of ball handling skills, his foot speed is slow on both the defensive end, and he doesn't take it to the hoop ALL that well. He has a solid jumpshot, but that's about it. He's veryy overrated.

    Re: WOW! VCU over Duke!

    Nevermind, I actually did pick VCU in my bracket. I thought I put Duke after careful consideration, but I didn't. Rock on.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (MaRdYC26 @ Mar 16 2007, 09:33 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>What are you talking about? my first post was fine...Some people said they "looked like idiots for not choosing VCU"...while, I simply responded your all idiots because people kept saying his name all different ways.</div>No, it really didn't make sense or say anything enlightening. I don't possess idiots. Perhaps you meant "you're."
