That Nuggets game was the bomb, glad I stuck with it until the end to see the incredible comeback win!

Nuggets "steal" game 1 from OKC...great comeback.
And the Knicks in OT

Dang Kansas...

I remember. Had to look up this part- They lost to Florida State in the ACC tourney  in '09 but beat Duke home and away that year, so there's that. Ranked 2nd in the country going in and was number 1 seed in the South bracket.

I met the Dean when I was a boy. It was a Royal Ambassadors (I washed out) dinner and he was the keynote speaker.. My old pop went with me and I remember him chiding me (Pop, not Coach Smith lol) for eating too much fried chicken lol. I always ate too much fried chicken. 1967 maybe. Somewhere in there. I miss my old Pop man. But I have to laugh when I think about him sometimes. He was a different kind of cat for sure. 

Anyway, back to basketball. Of course I'm a begrudging root for Duke because that's who Pop liked but more 'cause I'm a North Carolinian dag nabit!

Only one other time, I think - 2008.

Is this the first time all #1’s were in the Final Four?

I think it's worth pointing out that Rutgers has 2 freshman that will be lottery picks (expected to be 2 and 3 after Flagg), and they sucked ass this year.  Very hot and cold... which I blame on... 

Coaching is critical.

Scheyer (Duke - 35) is half the age of Kevin Sampson.  We'll see if the old guys (Sampson and Pearl - 65) can outcoach the young guys (Scheyer and Golden - 39).

Very complete. They won the ACC tournament without  Cooper Flagg.

Those 3 freshman starters are all NBA players; at least two of them will be lottery picks.

They have a very complete team this year.  The only thing they lack is experience, but they score so many points that it may not matter.

Florida vs. Duke is the final game most people expect and the gambling lines support.

Championship Winner
Duke +105
Florida +275
Houston +450
Auburn +500

i don't see anyone ousting duke
is it possible? yes, but unlikely imho

My son wanted to come up from Jersey for the parade but couldn't swing the day off. I've never seen one of these live, would be a cool experience. I did see the Bruins celebrate the Cup in Fenway the year they won. They drove the duck boats around the perimeter of the park before taking the cup out to the pitchers mound. Now that was a sight to see. 

Duck Boats! I’ll be watching from the comfort of my couch. Could’nt pay me to stand in a crowd like that.
