Almost For Irish

Question of whether Kentucky would go undefeated in the ACC got answered Saturday night even though they won a great Elite Eight game with Notre Dame the answer is no.  Those of you Roy Williams haters the two big questions for Mike Brey is why did he not double team the Kentucky big man all night.  Why did they decide during the last minute keep the ball in Grant's hand to make one on one moves three straight trips including the desperation heave at the buzzer when all night long they had scored sharing the ball?

Notre Dame was even in rebounding something no one expected.  Every close game there is what ifs every where and the last three trips to the foul line the Irish made only one out of two every time after they had made 9/11 at one time.

Duke has no easy assignment against Gonzaga but They beat the Irish twice by four at Notre Dame and 30 in Durham.  The Irish clipped the Dookies in the ACC Tournament.  So the question must be if Notre Dame takes Kentucky to the wire why can't Duke beat them if they make it that far?  Any tournament teams luck out when somebody else whips the team capable of beating you.

In order for Duke to make it to the final game they have to beat Gonzaga, either Michigan State or Louisville.  Kentucky will have to make it past Wisconsin who if Notre Dame can take Kentucky to the Wire why can't Wisconsin?

You know every great team can have a burst at some  point in every game where they play out of this world.  Friday night Duke had one of those runs that gave them a 14 point lead but with six minutes to go they looked tire and Utah made a come back and that worries me for the Devils.

I think at the start of the tournament I picked Louisville to go out first but they are a good match for Michigan State.  Should Duke and Louisville win that would guarantee the ACC a team in the final game.  Regardless of what happens Sunday the ACC has had a super tournament.  They are 13-3 with two games Sunday
