Hey All,

Duke - two of their leading scorers were 4 for 32 from the field - ice cold! Add to it a lot of dumb fouls and the other team shooting free throws well - they're toast.

Memphis - I think they just ran into a similar but tougher team and got beat. I didn't see the shooting percentages but that may have contributed.

I've been watching this tournament for about 25 years. More often than not shooting percentage (and don't assume that it is always tied to the defense of the other team - sometimes it is though) tells the biggest part of the story - but not always.

The Gonzaga and Syracuse games will be the interesting ones tonight.
