    After watching Duke and Baylor today, I have my doubts. So many guys on those teams who will play in the NBA. Who on Oregon has that kind of talent? Only chance I see for Oregon today is if both Shelsted and Barthelemy shoot out of their minds. Unless Arizona just hasn't played a tough schedule but looking at it they did beat three teams in top 20, but they lost to Wisconsin who Ducks beat, but that was very early in the season for Arizona . Both lost to UCLA but Orgon lost a lot worse.

    Oregon vs Arizona might be a good game. Neither team will beat Duke.

    I’ve watched Arizona several times this year. There’s games where they just don’t show up on the defensive end. They’re fairly soft.

    Did Derik Queens draft stock just rise?

    Honest question.

    1. Did he travel?

    2. Should game-deciding plays be automatically reviewed without the need for challenge?

    PS. I thought Mikal travelled on his game winning trey to beat us

    Reviewing frame-by-frame, it appears to me that he has his left hand under the ball before his left foot hits the floor next to the free-throw line. My interpretation of the rulebook's definition of "steps" has that foot hitting the floor after the gather as step one, and then the following steps as 2 and 3, and this being a travel. Others consider a step and gather happening simultaneously as step 0, permitting the subsequent 2 steps. YMMV.

    in other words, if you're maryland, it's not a travel. if you're colorado state, it's a travel.

    So… Duke is winning this, right?

    Duke wins

    Flagg goes #1 (as expected)

    Is he really turning the Wizards, Jazz, Pelicans, or Hornets around?

    No, but he could turn the Blazers around.

    He lifts his pivot when he takes his first dribble. Yes he did travel.

    Bet they wish they could play the last 30 seconds of that game again.

    What happened to Duke is what happens when you rely on all freshman. Not enough poise.

    He played a great game. Kid needed a few breathers. Did he play 40 minutes straight?

    Kind of seems like the refs were just a bit too involved in that game.
