Marquette lost.

Notre Dame lost.

Pittsburgh lost.

But it’s all okay. Because Duke lost. West Virginia won.

My favorite game of the tournament every year: the game when Duke goes out. Call me a hater, and you’d be right. I hate Duke. I love West Virginia. I only saw this one game today, but what a game it was! Joe Mazzulla, the backup point guard, had a near triple-double, and Joe Alexander was a stud again. Although Alexander shot a bit too much in my opinion, he made some unbelievable blocks and assisted on two key backdoor cuts. Most importantly, he talked a lot of smack to Duke. Even after the game.

Apparently, this carried on to the rest of the ‘Neers. If you have some time, read that blog post. My favorite quote from that article:

Cam Thoroughman asked whether Duke’s Greg Paulus was one of the eight McDonald’s all-Americans. When told yes, Thoroughman said, “Oh my God. Are you kidding?”

Awesome.
