With the opening weekend of #MarchMadness winding down, which tournament game involving an NC team was the most exciting? #GoPack #TheBrotherhood #GoHPU #GoHeels

Panthers agree to terms with Feleipe Franks panthers.com/news/panthers-… @Verizon | #KeepPounding

As @DukeMBB faces TCU, be sure to check out @Sports_Night and my guy @edd_eddie7 from Greenville. He’s got you covered as Duke tries to reach the Sweet 16. #NCAATournament

@RCorySmith Yeah, that’s crispy

Script road grays are so back. 👀

It's a Fun Friday poll! With the first full weekend of NCAA Tournament action coming up, how many men's and/or women's games will you be watching? @MarchMadnessWBB @MarchMadnessMBB

@cameroncrazy My bad...they are about to practice now, but the practice is closed to media, so unable to report how he looks. Apologies

To not being able to practice to playing in a college basketball game the next day seems like a big step

Duke HC Jon Scheyer hopeful Patrick Ngongba will be available for Saturday vs TCU. Ngongba has not practiced today, per Scheyer he was itching to play. "We want Pat to be out there...he's one of the most impactful players in the country." @DukeMBB @Sports_Night

What’s the best word to describe UNC’s collapse and first round loss to VCU? #MarchMadness #GoHeels

Hey @HPUMBB looks pretty nice, huh?

That gust of wind felt from southwest of Durham was the collective exhale from Duke fans as the Blue Devils outlast Siena 71-65. Duke moves on to round two to take on TCU. @Sports_Night

So how is @HPUMBB doing???? (yes I see it). 2.1 away from advancing with first ever NCAA Tourney win.

Siena playing with house money and nothing to lose, and they are out front 31-22 in Duke with 7:23 left in the first half. @DukeMBB @Sports_Night

Ummmm

With First Four games wrapping up, #MarchMadness begins tomorrow! How many first round upsets do you think there will be?

LAST CALL!!!! Join now and get entered into this free challenge!!! Follow the quoted tweet and sign up tonight!

@LazyUmpire I admit, I’m not as knowledgeable on the CBB rulebook, but that just looked a bit much.

@MikeSolarte The few games I’ve seen this season with this happening Duke-UNC they didn’t even entertain it. The ruling I looked up says it can be a violation that leads to free throws through a technical foul. I agree that this dude is a distraction and could have interfered.

Props to Tramon mark for hitting the GW shot. Curious as to the UT coach running out near the free throw line celebrating it....is that not a violation? Not a sour grapes post for the haters who will inevitably come at me for this, but I am just wondering if a call was missed.

@LazyUmpire You have bigger things to worry about, like the automated strike zone lol….(great handle). Was just something I noticed being a little more than a step or 2…has it been happening like that a lot?

@MikeSolarte Hasn’t been a violation all year in D1. Why enforce it now?

@AGoldFan Asked that same thing last night….just over the sideline is one thing, but dude was nearly in the lane.

Wonder what would have happened had State inbounded the ball immediately. Would they have called a technical foul on the Texas bench?
