Just to remind South Carolina fans

 

PAC: 3 - 0

SEC: 0 - 2

 

Whoops, we ball out West. 

 

And the SEC, better at talking than winning. Still adding to their losing %.

Did Couisnard just score the most points by a Duck in Duck NCAA tourney history?

 

I'm not positive about that, but if he didn't, he was darn close.

Yes, yes he did.  Career high and the only player in NCAA Tourney history to have over thirty points and five assists since like the 1980's.

 

Yeah, activation "Beast Mode"!

We may miss Dante and Cousinard, next year.

 

Enjoy it while it lasts!

OSU/WSU crying on their way to the bank.   NCAA allocation for 2024 Tournament now up to $14 million to the Pac2(12)...payable over six year period.

 

Since the money is given to a "conference" not sure what happens if a conference disbands?  Gotta feel'in we're still going to be talkin about a Pac12 for six more years.

 

Any more wins starting with WSU tonight, means another $2M each.  With $14M, that's $2.3M/year split 2-ways for six years.

 

Not sure where the money is headed that is still being paid from the last 5-6 Tournaments?  If it's being deposited into the Pac2(12) acct, it may or may not be shared more than 2 ways?

Yes, but the future is so bright with Shelstad and Evans!
 

Can you imagine how good the team could be in 2-3 years with those two as upper classmen? I would imagine that we could get some really good players that will want to play with those two…

Love it, the formula, free throws, only one guy missed a free throw, everyone else was pure from the line. From beyond the arc almost 50% and Couisnard 5/9. 

 

I think it is time for the freshman to take a big role in the next game. Pressure will be put on Couisnard, and Shelstad is going to light it up! Dante will continue to up his NBA stock, in impressive fashion. He knows this is money time.

Time for fellow Duck fans, far and wide, to celebrate!  Are we going to be the "madness" of March this year?

Not a good day for the 8-teams in the field SEC.

 

8 Mississippi State loses to 9 Michigan State

 

6 South Carolina loses to 11 OREGON!

 

3 Kentucky loses to 14 Oakland. Kentucky was expert Dickie V's pick to win it all. 

 

In the New SEC, Tennessee plays Texas on Saturday. Like Dana and Creighton, TN's Rick Barnes will be going against his former employer. 

 

😁😁😁

Sir Charles has Arizona and Oregon as his final 2... That'd be a, "Hello, Boys!" to the B1G, eh?

 

Too bad it puts change in someone else's pocket.

I doubt Evans will stick around for a junior season, unfortunately. Kel'el Ware is even going to be drafted in the late first round in June.
