Y'all were shook tho

@nationalryanleague

Nope. Nope. Nothing was good about Duke, and Siena threw it all away for no reason. Terrible, if Siena would have locked in, nobody would rate this less than an 8. But that performance on both sides was awful during the second half. Duke is on a thin wire.

Valiant effort by Siena in the face of pure evil

entire america was rooting for siena </3 why did they not rest any of their starters once 😭😭😭

The Siena Cinderella mini van literally ran out of gas…can’t have zero bench players play zero minutes until 2 minutes left in the game! Boozer Bros are a problem!!

People will rate this game higher than it deserves just because it’s a 1-16 game. Duke better figure things out or TCU gonna be coming for their money

Almost an all time upset but Duke escapes with their championship hope and my bracket

@t3bracketology

Tip of the cap Siena!

Just not enough shot making down the stretch for the Saints. Hell of an effort though. Another pick right as well i suppose.

I thought for a second bro

Great showing for a 16 seed but just not enough.

Wickliffe, OH

Felt like a Duke run was always lurking

@newyorkdepression

Duke is the greediest team to ever ****ing exist

Duke didn’t deserve to win this game. I give this a 6.3/10 on The Geeber Scale. The reason this game is rated low is because Siena couldn’t make a shot for 6 minutes at the end and Duke ended up winning.

David and Goliath matchup. Siena hasn’t been in the NCAA tournament since 2010. Meanwhile, Duke is THE basketball school. The tournament favourite with one of the top NBA prospects in the entire country with Boozer. Siena put fear in Duke’s hearts. Siena had an 11-point lead at halftime which was the largest any 16-seed had ever held against the 1-seed and the first ever double-digit lead for a 16-seed against a 1. Duke had to adapt if they were going to avoid embarrassment and they did exactly that. They played a zone defense and got more aggressive with their press. Those changes wore down Siena. However, it was the 2 missed dunks in a row a few minutes into the 2nd half that shifted momentum, especially when Duke went down and got their own dunk right after. Siena still hit some 3s and were able to keep a lead for a while, but they got gassed. Mostly thanks to nearly becoming the first team since 1979 to play their starters for an entire NCAA tournament game. At least they tried.
