Like everyone said, Dook's bracket just got easier. But congrats to coach Haase!

UAB pulled a Wichita St? I'm confused!

I'm not so sure. Gonzaga, yeah. But duke was only going to have to play one of the two - ISU or the Zags. Now the Zags will have less of a battle on their hands (theoretically) in the game before a potential match up with duke. So the end result may be that this was bad for duke.

Congrats to Haas and the Blazers. Love seeing the little guys get big wins. I was very afraid to see Iowa State because of their athleticism and quick guards. I would rather play the Zags.

2 upsets now, GA State beat Baylor.

I like that way of thinking.

You match up a heck of a lot better against ISU than you do the Zags, the Zags are good, I mean Final 4 good, I have them in the title game vs Arizona.

keep this up in the future and we may have a successor at head coach!!

I would rather play a team with size and not elite backcourt than a team with a bunch of 6'8" guys that can touch the top of the backboard and a quick point guard that never turns the ball over. Thats if either Duke or the Zags dont get upset first. Take nothing for granted in this tourney. I have seen strange things in my 40 years!

Disagree. Iowa St worried me a lot more than Gonzaga.

Big win for the program and Coach.
