TBH even if they had pulled it out against Indiana, I would have been surprised if they made it much further. Murray and Ulis are possibly the best backcourt in the country, but our frontcourt is so hit or miss, and they really got exposed today. If we couldn't beat Indiana when two of their players who get significant minutes come out of the game with injuries, our chances were pretty slim against UNC or Xavier, much less whoever comes out of the Midwest and the left side of the bracket.
Disappointing for sure, but perhaps not unexpected.

Oh meh. What a crappy ending. Tacky fouls with 30 seconds left on SFA. Clock ticking down and 30 from ND crashes in on the paint over the back of two players with no foul.
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski disagreed with the account of an Oregon player who said the coach told him to stop showboating when they talked in the handshake line following the Ducks' 82-68 win over the Blue Devils in the Sweet 16 on Thursday.
Oregon's Dillon Brooks said Krzyzewski told him that he's "too good of a player to be showing off at the end," after the sophomore hit a 3-pointer near half court when the Ducks had an 11-point lead with 10 seconds to play. Brooks said he told Duke's coach that he was right.
Krzyzewski denied Brooks' account of their exchange in the handshake line, which Brooks and some of his teammates didn't join immediately because they were celebrating the win.
Oregon's Dillon Brooks said he agreed with Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski that he didn't need to showboat.
"I didn't say that," Krzyzewski said after the game. "You can say whatever you want. Dillon Brooks is a hell of a player. I said, 'You're a terrific player.' And you can take whatever he said and then go with it, all right?"
Brooks, who finished with a team-high 22 points in the win, also had an awkward exchange with Grayson Allen after the game when he tried to hug the Duke star as he walked toward his team's bench.
Brooks said he'd engaged in trash talk with some of Duke's players throughout the game. In the first half, Brooks hit a 3-pointer in front of Duke's bench and said something that appeared to frustrate Krzyzewski.
"They were all trash-talking," Brooks said. "I wasn't really trying to say too much. But it's part of the game. Everybody trash-talks and tries to get you out of your game. But that just makes me go harder and fires me up."
I don't even get what Coach K said was all that bad? Like it's a bit of a sore loser type thing, but eh heat of the moment god knows I'm not immune to anger in a loss and I don't even lose anything near as public.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
it's the kind of thing where I can imagine that brooks' "you're right" was delivered with... rather less than the deference that K thought was appropriate
why he felt the need to bring it back up after the game I'm not sure
I was pretty surprised at how badly we beat duke, after struggling mightily to get by st joes. I guess duke wasn't that good this year though
it was the smallest on the list but
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget

As long as UNC doesn't manage to blow a twenty point lead in ten minutes, we're already assured of an ACC team in the final. Before starting the Elite Eight yet.

Syracuse has both it's men and woman's basketball teams in the Elite Eight.
