- spacefreak, on 10/12/2007, -8/+27It's so nice, as an ACC fan, to see Duke fall this early.
- SeismicShock, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19So yep, that slaughtered my bracket
- penguinix, on 10/12/2007, -12/+29Duke sucks.
- Usodarake, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Duke PG Greg Paulus' fantastic flop:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqPBJ_6y_5A - pmace, on 10/12/2007, -8/+22Agreed, but it's even nicer that I picked VCU in my brackets.
- wonderchemist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Not mine! :p
Finally! My irrational hated of Duke BB has paid off!
For one round at least. - sselbor, on 10/12/2007, -7/+18Umm... after this season, I would hardly call this a "big upset."
- e808, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16Anyone that thinks this was an upset wasn't paying attention this year...
- legendxx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11how is it in your cave?
- doom.md, on 10/12/2007, -6/+14well duke sucks and so does my bracket apparently
- JoJoDilio, on 10/12/2007, -7/+15As a VCU student, I HAVE to digg this. Great job RAMS!
Though, I am a bit disappointed. If we lost, I could go back to not caring about Basketball... oh well, a few more weeks and this geek will be back to normal. :) - erickssm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7agreed, overrated Duke, underrated VCU, really should have been a 8 vs 9 game, not a 6 vs 11.
- phantom_mullet, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Duke hasn't been nearly this good this year, especially without JJ Reddick and others. No huge surprise. I had them losing second round anyway.
- ghjkl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8yeah, this is not a big upset at all. anyone that watches NCAA basketball knows Duke has been failing this year. It's only considered an upset because VCU is #11, but this is not a big surprise for the knowledgable fans of the game. Big ups to Maynor and crew.
- streetlamp, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10Go Rams!
I am a VCU freshman and when we beat GMU everyone went crazy, this is amazing. - Antimatter3009, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7@e808
Agreed. Duke was way overrated just cause they're Duke. On the other hand, because they're Duke and because they were overrated it's nice to see them go down. Even better that I picked it that way in my bracket :) - cheato, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I had Duke winning in my bracket, but it doesn't really screw up things that badly since I picked them to lose to Pitt in the next game.
- krabat, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5As a Kentucky fan, I can't feel better.
As for my bracket, *****. - coolkatz321, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3As part of the "I hate Duke club", I can safely say I was ecstatic to see Duke lose to VCU. However, people that think VCU will advance beyond the next round have to be kidding themselves. I thought their gameplay was incredibly sloppy, and although they CAN hit the three, I just don't think they'll be able to match up well in the next round. Great win, but I think it ends here.
- Scyth3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Maynor was amazing for VCU this season. I'm also happy Duke lost, just because I believe they're the most over-rated team, ever. Being that I'm a George Mason student, and losing to VCU -- I'm surprisingly happy that they're living up to their CAA tournament win. The irony in all of it was that both the Mason and Duke game came to the last minute. In both games it was Maynor that made the winning plays, and without him the team would have never made it this far (and lost both of those games). With that said -- keep it up VCU. I just don't think they'll get past the second round (hope I'm wrong).
- pintomp3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3or maybe people want to comment on it.
- raymiester500, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2We all know people go to Maryland because they don't get into Duke and then bitch about through basketball. Hey, remember the miracle minute? How about the 2001 Final Four? Yes, Duke basically owns your basketball program and your university. Go back to whatever hole you came from.
- control98408, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7*checks fark.com for all the duke sucks jokes*
- swordedge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Duke said before the season began that it was a rebuild year. When your favorite school loses in round one, should I run around laughing my ass off or sympathize? Since I am an adult and not a small child, sympathy is what you will get. Those that laugh have yet to make it to their mid teens in maturity.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"No, the reason I hate Duke is because they always come across as cocky arrogant ***** who think they deserve to be in the final four or something every year."
So does that mean every team are a bunch of cocky arrogant ***** since they all believe they deserve to be in the final four? Even the 16 seeds believe they belong in the final four. - jlawson1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2so hopefully this will end this years annual replay of the '91 UK vs Duke game last second miracle shot video that I'm so sick of!!! btw Christian Laettner, wonder if he was already out of rehab/jail or if he just had to wear an ankle bracelet in order to see last nights game???
- jamacdonald, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Hell yes, that was such a close game and a lot of fun to watch. Credit to both sides for such a great game. GO VCU!
- Hawk2007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Good job VCU!
I was thinking it was going to be another typical college game where the underdog gets close and gives the seasoned team a scare. Instead, VCU played like a champ. - BOSyooper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Pintomp, I agree. You should have a better team with that many McD AA's and should forego whining about lack of talent. Maybe a few very athletic players would help though.
- Cornedbeef, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Duke lost the game because they turned the ball over too often and didn't have a good field goal percentage.
- I-Train, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If a team with a worse seed defeats a team with a better seed, that is defined as an upset.
- lkmbrd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That game saved my bracket.
- pintomp3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1raymiester: my team is maryland, who have beat duke in 5 out of the last 7 meetings. nice try though.
- opiv421, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2its never an upset when duke is involved
- ChumpChief, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Same thing could be said about upcoming video games or technology releases...
- iNoles, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Dookie lost, hahaha? Nice..
- ninjacob, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How can you be a Maryland fan? Why are you wasting time on Digg when you have your University to burn down. As someone who lived 22 years in MD, I can honestly say....MD is ghetto.
- elfman1000, on 10/12/2007, -5/+6I was definetly looking for someone on Duke to make a heroic shot at the end like Christian Laettner did back in the 92 east regionals. The Blue Devils will do better next year.
- denshvalaunt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Wow, Eric Maynor was SO clutch the final two minutes. But damn Duke for messing up my bracket, again!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2In other news, Dick Vitale commits suicide.
- pintomp3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3soxpride: first learn how to use the reply button. then, do some research
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:McDonald%27s_High_School_All-Americans - 1021, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I bet the GMU win was more important to the team than the Duke win although both build confidence Duke has been sucking really bad all year.
- ChumpChief, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Mine can still recover, I hope :-P
- 1021, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Great to see the no-name league (CAA) two years ago become more prominent in the NCAA. With that said, I watched the Duke game on my tivo and would like to add that there is no way VCU can get past the next round if they played similar to the Duke game. George Mason U last year was overall seemed like a solid team with good inside presence and some great outside shooters. All I see in this VCU team is one kid saving the whole team at the end of a game, that is not going to work against a good team which can build up a big lead and hold it, which Duke has been incapable of doing the entire season.
Can someone elaborate what happenned in the CAA game to GMU against VCU a bit better? - Hindustani8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Go RAMS!!! As a VCU graduate, I am glad that VCU beat Duke. I hope VCU can continue their momentum against Pittsburgh.
- psyber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Go big blue!
- Diggaholics, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Duke, this year, was overrated even as a 6th seed. Big Upset? Because of the name of the school? Almost dugg down for inaccuracy.
- tabletopjoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1With VCU, and Wintrop, I am in good shape
- 93ex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dugg because I picked VCU!
