Offical Duke sucks thread

[BanditsRock11]

Since Duke opened its ACC play with a LOSS at HOME to freakin Virginia Tech, lets all take some time to laugh at point at the school with the worst name ever. So, Duke sucks, heres to a long and painful season for the Blue Devils and their fans.

Also #1 UCLA was upset by Oregon today, so if UNC beats Flordia St tomorrow, they should be #1 next!!

[Jayhawk]

no they don't suck, ESPN won't let them ;)

[LVBillsfan]

Anytime Duke loses, I'm happy!

[Merk]

Anytime Duke loses, I'm happy!


I agree

[BanditsRock11]

Anytime Duke loses, I'm happy!


Thats correct, as everyone should be!

[BanditsRock11]

Meanwhile....down the road in Chapel Hill, the good guys of North Carolina are now ranked #1 in the nation. Beauitful.

[Mouldsie]

Life is good

[nyjunc]

duke is not good at all this year, they were not a #5 team, they had a good record w/ a weak sched. They'll get better but they aren't a threat to win the ACC or make a deep Tourney run. Coach K is starting to feel some pain in his back right about now.

[BanditsRock11]

Duke drops their second game in a row, and second ACC game in a row @Georgia Tech!!! How awesome is that? 0-2 in the ACC already? Perfect, this thread looks better everytime Duke plays.


DUKE SUCKS.

[Jayhawk]

espn doesn't know what to do.


btw KU is on :D

[nyjunc]

K says it's b/c duke is so young yet ga tech starts 3 freshman and beat them and the #1 team in the Country starts 3 freshman and why did the "old" duke team of last year underachieve in the Tourney again?

[BanditsRock11]

Thats easy. Duke sucks, thats way. Also, they are overrated every year, just because of their school name.

[JerseyBillsFan]

Let's here it now people. What goes around comes around right? And I can't stand Duke. Not that I like North Carolina any more though. I'd say it was a good week altogether.

[nyjunc]

It happens, the Heels just couldn't buy a bucket for most of the game. They got good shots they just weren't going down and just like gonzaga the heels struggled from 3 taking too mnay of them and Va tech hit a high % of theirs.

The positive I took out of the game was Ty Lawson really taking over down the stretch and almost willing us back. The should only give him more confidence and make the heels that much harder to beat.

[BanditsRock11]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! DUKE ****ING SUCKS!! 3 ACC losses in a row, and the latest to none other than UNC!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome day!!


duke blows, and i love it.

[HURLS]

Aren't they like .500 in the ACC at best? Another team I love piling on, UCONN, is close to missing their own Conference Tourney. I wonder when that happened last. A rarity to see both teams suck so hard.

[nyjunc]

The heels did not play well and I am concerned but they pulled it out so I am happy but they need to get over this mini-slump soon if they want to win the ACC and get a top seed.

[SabreNasty2630]

Yeah the way they have played these past 2 games definately have me concerned. Saturday's effort was down right terrible. At least last night, although still no where near where it should be, at least in the 2nd half they started to play D with some passion. I'll take the Win but this team really needs to get it's act together soon

[BanditsRock11]

BUMP. :D



Great dominating game by the Heels, nice douchebag move by henderson, clear elbow to the face, TH didnt even have the ball anymore, if he was going for the ball he would have hit him with his hand, not his elbow. Hopefully Hansbrough will be ok, and Henderson was thrown out and will be suspended for Dukes first game of the ACC tourney. Tool.


Duke still sucks, finishing 8-8 in the ACC, :rofl:

[eSabre]

Terps > Duke

[nyjunc]

Typical duke class, just like last year when Sean Dockery hit Tyler in the face int he final seconds. I just wished we played again next week but 7th seeded duke will have a hard time getting to the title game which is the only way we could meet up.

[BanditsRock11]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOO!!!!!

:rofl: Duke knocked out in the first round by freakin VCU, I love it, this caps off a great offica duke sucks thread, because, well they suck. tools.

[HURLS]

What's the big deal? Half of America picked them to lose to VCU. wow, what a shocker.

[nyjunc]

In the last 13 seasons duke has advanced beyond the Sweet 16 just FOUR times. read that againb as the media always makes it sound ike they won 5 Championships in that span but just 4 times getting to the elite 8 or further in 13 years.

[billsfan69]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOO!!!!!

The best thing was being there and seeing the "someone just murdered my puppy look" on the faces of Duke fans. By they way the only people rooting for Duke were people with Duke gear on. Everyone else,including myself were pulling for VCU big time. The other three games, I just watched as a neutral observer, but the VCU-Duke game you would have thought I was at a Bills or Sabres game. My throat was sore after that game.

Exactly, it was great. I wasnt rooting for any team there except VCU. I jumped so high when they hit that shot with 1 sec left, amazing.

Peace out Dukies.

Heres to another season of Duke sucking at basketball. Hopefully its another huge embarassing failure of a season.

[BeastMode Deep]

:rofl: Dook sux!!!

[SWAG™]

They got King, Smith, Singler, and Henderson. Pretty deep team, but not the best in the ACC

Coach K is using Boeheim's 2-3 zone now, and sends his tapes after every game to Boeheim so he can crtiique the zone.

Jeez.

[SWAG™]

LOL you're saying NC St. is the best in the conference? They'll be right there with the Tarheels and Duke though, can't say how this season will turn out

Brandon Costner is definitely going to make strides this year, Gavin Grant is a versatile player, and Fells is one of the best defensive guards in the conference. They need to get contribution from their Iowa St. transfer, Degand. Hickinson will most likely come off the bench for McCauley, JJ has potential and upside with his athletic abillity. 3rd best team in the ACC imo when I looked at all the teams overall

They will be there w/ duke for 2nd place but neither is competing w/ the Heels for 1st. I like NC State but I want to see how they do w/ Atsur, he is a huge loss from las year's team.

[Blofan4life]

Duke is going to be good this year. A lot better freshman class then NC. Watch out they will come from down under and take the one spot away from thse B*itch A*s Tar heels.

[BanditsRock11]

They can have a better incoming freshman class this year, big deal. Too bad none of those freshman can play with TH, Lawson, Ellington....etc.


Duke will be UNCs bitch, just like the last 2 years.

[ZonaBills]

Tyler Hansbrough will be a man amongst boys this year, not only in the ACC but in all of college basketball. Yeah we lost Wright and Terry, but the guys replacing them could START on any team on the nation. So i sleep well at night. First (real) game tonight!! GO HEELS!!!!

[nyjunc]

As we all know duke's recruiting has been great in recent years. Singler looks to be a good player but we all thought the same thing of overhyped Shav Randolph and josh mcRoberts so we'll see and duke has as much of a chance to win the ACC as coach K has of becoming a classy coach.

[Blofan4life]

Duke is on a roll!!!! King might be the biggest surprise out of all the freshman in America.

[BanditsRock11]

Wait until you face a real inside man like Hansbrough. Haha. You'll be missing McRoberts then, thats for sure.

UNC doesn't even have a freshman class this year because they had such a great recruiting class last year. Next year they will reload and I don't see them taking a step back for as long as Williams is coach.

Every few years the Heels will take a step back w/ early defections. We could lose Tyler, Ty and Ellington this year. We have a good class coming in but it's not a monster class and there's no way we compete for a FF next year if those guys leave early.

[C Darwin]

John Beilein is wishing he was back at Canisius right about now. GO DUKE!

[ZonaBills]

LETS GO TARHEELS!!!

[BanditsRock11]

I would like to bump this thread, with Dukes first loss coming to the hands of Pitt.

Heres to more and more Duke losses.

[jaymitch84]

Score one for the Big East.

[lavuuk153]

Pitt is one team I really don't like rooting for in the Big East, but last night was great.

[LaxBandit]

John Beilein is wishing he was back at Canisius right about now. GO DUKE!

Why would Beilein wish he was back coaching Canisius? Wouldn't that be wishing he was back coaching at West Virginia? afterall the Mountaineers are playing good ball (currently 9-1 as of Dec 21) while the Golden Griffins are playing crappy ball (currently 1-9 as of Dec 21). Speaking of those two schools - they play at the HSBC Arena on Saturday afternoon with a start time of 4:00 pm ET. If "you" can't make it down to the arena to see the game in person, it will be televised LIVE (at 4:00 pm ET) on Sportsnet NY. Poor Griffins, they only made the game because it would be Beileins return to WNY and then he goes off and leaves for Michigan.

LB...

[BF_in_Indiana]

I have two fond memories of Duke that I would like to share. The first was in the preseason NIT Finals one year and Andre Patterson dropped 39 on Duke to score us the title. I believe it was '96.

And the second happened in 2002 in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament. Indiana was down like 17 points at one point in the first half and came all the way back to take the lead late in the game. AJ Moye had one of the best blocks of all time on Carlos Boozer. So IU has a 4 point lead and Duke has the ball with like 10 seconds left and Williams takes a three and gets fouled as the ball goes through the net. So with IU up one and only 2 seconds left Williams can tie it with the free throw. He misses and Jeff Newton comes down with the rebound to secure the win. 74-73. We went to the title game and left number 1 Duke in our wake.

Those are two fond memories of Duke basketball I felt like sharing.

[nyjunc]

Score one for the Big East.

The ACC is 8-4 against the BE so far.

[BF_in_Indiana]

I wish IU could play Duke this year. We would manhandle them.

[nyjunc]

The ACC is now 9-4 against the BE w/ NC State beating Seton Hall.

[nyjunc]

The ACC is now 10-4 after Va tech beat St. John's at the Garden in one of the worst basketball games you will ever see.

[Orange Nation]

I would just like to see Greg Paulus is a punk.

I didn't want to be the one to do this, but he really is a punk. He smacks the shit out of a guy trying to steal the ball, then kicks a guy for trying to get the same ball, goes off the court practically in tears because a teammate of the guy he kicked took a swipe at him.

And the fat ass Patrick is fawning over what a gutty performance it was. Paulus pushes off with his away hand every time he drives to the hoop. He will get knocked out by someone before the end of the year.

P.s. For the sake of disclosure, before last night I have never been one of those people who hated Paulus for leaving the Syracuse area and choosing Duke. Heck, if my kid had that choice, I would support him either way he went.

I for one am happy Paulus didn't end up here. He should have played football at a mid level BCS school. He just isn't all that great of a BB player IMO. He can hit open shots, but like you say needs to clear space to drive, and he is just not quick enough to guard his position at against high level Major schools. He also really isn't a good fit for our program.

If I could thank you more than once, I would. Duke is a joke and gets away with everything like that. You just have to get used to it. They'll blow in the end, like every year.


Plus, I've always said Paulus should have stuck with football, he would have been better off. Hes nothing but an average ACC PG. Lightyears behind a guy like Lawson.

[Blofan4life]

UNC has nothing but one good line which ain't gonna cut it against teams with much greater depth. (DUKE) Unc has barely played any good teams this year and have been exposed greatly with the 2 close calls already and they only played 2-3 confernence games. This team is nothing special and can't wait to the biggest rival in sports when Duke spoils UNC's undefeated season (because they do have the easiest schedule for a team in the top 10).

[ZonaBills]

I got two words for you, TYLER HANSBROUGH. Punch him in the face as many times as you want to (as all the other teams seem to do) Hansbrough will still beat your guy one on one with one arm broken and blind folded. Im not saying the Heels are going undefeated as long as we win it all. Go Get em heels!

Duke has greater depth? They may have more bodoes but it's not all quality. After Frasor went down it hurt our depth but we still have more than enough to win and considering our starting unit is so much better than duke's I'm not sure the benches will come into play and if they do we have the best bench player of the 2 teams- Danny Green.

Carolina has played a decent sched, no big time teams (thanks to OSU and UK being bad and Louisville losing in the LVI) but a bunch of good teams and a ton of true road games. Who has duke beaten? marquette? Wisconsin? decent teams but not top teams and none of them on the road. Duke struggled w/ FSU the other night before pulling away at the FT line late. Carolina is ALOT better than duke.

Dukle fans should NEVER talk about scheds when they play the creampuffs they do every year. Carolina plays true road games against big time schools like UConn, Arizona, Kentucky. Duke plays Michigan, St. John's, etc... They were playing Georgetown annually- of course once GU got good again that series died.

Before you wrote this you should have looked up some stats because you totally just made an ass out of yourself. Duke has 6 guys averaging at least 9 points a game while UNC has only 4, with that fagget Hansbourgh running away in points. DOuble team him and it is an easy win like GT and Clemson have tried but just ran out of gas late. Trust me Duke won't run out of gas.
UNC strength of schedule is 221 is the nation while Duke is 150. Marquette was an away game and so was Pitt. Don't even talk about struggling when UNC should be 1-2 in the ACC. If Clemson and GT were deeper UNC would not be in the top 10 right now. UNC has not been tested by any team within the top 20 in the US and have struggled. They play horrible defense and always let the teams back in it.

Who cares? UNC has more quality at the top so it preventws bench players from scoring more. There's not a guy on duke who would start for UNC this year. That is factored in.

marquette and Pitt were NEUTRAL SITE games not road games, there is a HUGE difference.

Wgere do you get those SOS #s? I don't necessarily agree w/ the RPI SOS BUT UNC is at 12 while duke is at 69.

http://collegerpi.com/

We should be 18-0 which is what we are, road games in the ACC are tough and teams are gunning for the Heels. Surely you must remember what that feels like, right? Ga Tech played tough against IU and Kansas, they are a good team. Clemson was in the top 20 when we beat them at their place and LittelJohn and Alexander Memorial are 2 buildings the Heels struggle in- those were GREAT wins.

Duke is not equipped to handle the Heels this year, maybe they beat them in Cameron(though Tyler has never lost their) but duke is a year away from truly competing w/ the Heels- that is if Tyler, Lawson and Ellington all leave for the NBA.

I can't wait until Hansbrough dominates duke again. Next Wednesday cannot come soon enough. Hopefully we won't have another cheap shot incident that the duke team has been known for through the years, hopefully they take their beating like men and don't resort to their typical crybaby cheap shots.

[Orange Nation]

OK, I seriously wanted to jump through the TV tonight when Paulus was slapping the court, and just slit his throat.

As if it's not bad enough that Dick Vitale is a total Duke stool sample, Mike Patrick also appears to be on Duke's payroll.

Throw in the pronunciation-challenged Len Elmore as a Duke disciple, and you end up with yet another reason to hurl in the general direction of North Carolina.

Patrick was the one defending Paulus for his actions against FSU saying Paulus kept getting hit w/ cheap shots.

The class at duke starts at the top w/ K and trickles down to his classless bunch of players. I just hope after the Heels beat them next week we don't have another incident that we have seen the last few years after the Heels have beaten duke.

[BanditsRock11]

Bump this shit for the big game tonight.


LETS GO TAR HEELS!!

Where are you all now?

How's that Paulus and Henderson hate going? Talk shit now, fegs. Psycho douche might actually be the only person in the country that gets more calls than Paulus. But Paulus still makes it rain on hoes, and all Hansborough does is shoot pussy midrange Js.

Ellington sucks, too.

Right, maybe you forgot about the stuff Hansbrough had right in Singlers' grill. 28 and 18 isn't to shabby, huh puke boy? Your team has no inside presence and come tournament time you wont advance past the sweet 16....if you even make it that far. With Lawson playing, this a completely different game. No, I'm not making exscuses, even Jay Bilas said the same last night on ESPN after the game. Wait until the rematch when we are completely healthy.

[Lateralus]

As much as I hate to do it, I have to give Duke credit for that win, They just shot the lights out, not much any team can do when the opponent just can't miss. I still think UNC is a better overall team, especially if Lawson is playing but I guess we will see come tourney time.

Exactly. I'm not taking anything away from Puke, they shot lights out and I give them credit for that. However, I think it's ca completely different game had Lawson been able to play.

[Patrick!]

Excuses, excuses.

And congratulations for Tyler "Just call me A-Rod" Hansborough for that "sick stuff" with 2 minutes left and down by 10. Let's see him do it when it matters, he'll choke again.

For the matter, I'm not denying that it won't be completely and totally different when Lawson plays, I just hate Psycho douche.

[Blofan4life]

Wow I love how everyone would despise me when I would say shit about UNC and I love how they would say I can't wait for Feb, 6th. Well guess what that date came and went and UNC has another lose on their home court by double digits. And don't give me the shit about that lawson pussy b/c all you people were saying is how deep this UNC team is. Now you guys are saying wait till he is healthy but guess what this is the second time injuring that ankle what makes you think he won't miss more time with it. I will give Hansbourgh some credit b/c he might be the only white guy on that team and he did do a nice job but one guy don't make a team. This game proved three things, UNC is overrated, Duke is a much deeper and the three ball is much more effective then the inside game. Go Duke!!

[BanditsRock11]

Wow, so many things you're wrong about, typical Duke fan. Lose another one? Are you serious? It has been almost 2 years since Duke has beaten UNC at all.

Lawson pussy? Yeah, he should have played not 100% and hurt his ankle more for more important games like the ACC tourney and NCAA tourney. How stupid.

Hahaha. Yeah rely on the 3 ball, see how far that gets you in March. The last 5 national Champions all had a huge inside presence and didn't rely solely on the 3 ball. The Gators with Noah and Horford, The Heels with Sean May, UCONN with Oakafor, the Orange with Warrick, the list goes on.

Just wait until we aren't playing with our 3rd string PG, and you won't be saying UNC is overrated when they win in Cameron again, like usual.

Excuses, excuses.

:rofl: Choke again. Thats a good one. Kind of like JJ Reddick and Sheldon Williams did for 4 years, except they waited to do it when the games really mattered, in the NCAA tourney, not in early February. Hes better than anyone Duke has had in years, and everyone knows it, its ok to be jealous.

[SabreNasty2630]

Preach it BR11!

[nyjunc]

I was away and couldn't access the internet or you guys know I would have been hear to take my pain from the game. Dukem played grat and we played horribly, all duke can do is shoot 3's and we left them wide open all night and they knocked them down while our shooters couldn't knock down open shots.

Obviously the outcome would have been different had Lawason played, QT played ok but once Ty was hurt at FSU I knew we had very little chance to win on Weds. Hopefully he's healthy for the next game(and probably 2) that we play and we'll see what happens.

[Blofan4life]

Lawson played vs Maryland and you guys lost. Whats your excuse there since all you guys have is excuses. Why can't you take the lose like a man and stop acting the like the NE Patriots.

[nyjunc]

If you don't think Lawson would have made a difference then you know nothing about college basketball. Lawson is our most valuable player, he's not our best player but he's the player we can least afford to lose especially w/ Frasor out. Maybe duke still wins that game but the odds would have gone way down, I doubt you can beat the Heels when Lawson plays. We'll see in a few weeks.

[Blofan4life]

If lawson doesn't bitch out again. What happens if he hurts his ankle again. You going to cry saying you want another re match. This guy is not a guaranteed 20 point getter. I can't wait till he plays and gets 5 points like he would have if he played on Wednesday.

[BanditsRock11]

How old are you? You must be young, under 17 is my guess.


You really don't know anything about college basketball, and aren't capable of carrying on a mature conversation.


Why do you keep saying Lawson "bitches out"? Just stop being so stupid, will you?

No, hes not a guaranteed 20 point getter. Nobody said he was. Thats not why hes as valuable as he is. Hes a great defender, and offensively he leads the fast break like nobody else in college basketball, which is UNCs strong point. His passing and fast break threat is amazing and a huge factor in UNCs tempo of the game.

But you can keep being immature and naive, I wouldn't expect much less from a Duke fan.

[CoachC.]

I'm surprised they are having such a difficult time without him (Lawson).

I know he's a terrific player and what makes them go, but Carolina usually has 3 or 4 McDonald's All-Americans sitting on the bench.....ON TOP of the great talent they already have on the floor.

The Duke game was understandable. That's a good team and the Devils had a great night shooting (partly because Lawson was not defending).

But for Florida State (when he got hurt) and now Clemson to play them so well and nearly beat them, even without Lawson, is surprising to me.

Well, remember, Lawsons backup, Bobby Frasor, ripped up his knee earlier this season, and is done for the year, so were on our 3rd sting PG, Quinten Thomas.

I'm not sure how deep teams are after their first 2 PGs go down, but Thomas is doing ok I guess.

Frasor is out as well, if Frasor was healthy then we'd be fine but I didn't expect to beat duke w/o Ty and I was scared to death of Clemson. Luckily we somehow pulled it out but there is understandably a huge dropoff from one of the best PGs in the Country to a 3rd string PG who is a senior and hasn't played much for a reason.

The beenfit of this time out is Thomas is gaining confidence so this way when ty does get back and needs a breather it won't be as bad as it has been in the past. Thomas is still up and down but he is definitely playing alot better and I'll take a loss or 2 or even 3 as long as Ty comes back healthy. I don't want to rush him back, if it costs us a #1 seed then that's fine. W/o him healthy in March/April we have no shot.

[BanditsRock11]

Lets go Terps!!

[nyjunc]

I am impressed w/ duke as much as I hate to admit it. They now look like a FF caliber team which is something I never thought I'd say. I still think when healthy the Heels are better but duke is playing great basketball and they will win the ACC reg season title unfortunately.

I didn't say this is an off year w/ the Heels, how can a team lose 2 games, one by a bucket and the other w/o their most important player, and we call it an off year? When healthy the Heels are the best team in the ACC and are one of the favorites to win it all, if the Heels get healthy all those opportunities are still there. As far as duke, I didn't expect them to be as good as they are and I think they are legit FF contendres- I do not believe they will get there but I think they can which is something I would never thought I would say THIS year.

OK they only lost 2 games but both was on their home court. How many close calls have they had that if they were playing a decent they would have lost those games to. The heels should no way be rated 5th in the nation and really has no chance to win it all when they barely beat ACC teams with lawson in there.

We lost 2 home games but are unbeaten on the road. 2 losses no matter where they are cannot be considered a down year especially factoring in the injuries. We have zero losses at full strength and just 1 w/ lawson in the lineup.

duke is pulling away late in games but they are playing close games as well against the ACC so don't act like duke has breezed through their competition. Carolina has played 4 close games in a row mainly b/c Lawson has been out, they played acouple of close games(a L to MD and a W at Clemson) w/ him but for the most part they were always in control when he played. This team is mentally tough, something we couldn't say about them a year ago. When they get healthy this team is CLEARLY the best team in the ACC and clearly a favorite to win it all.

[CoachC.]

...they played acouple of close games(a L to MD and a W at Clemson) w/ him but for the most part they were always in control when he played....

You realize how ironic this is coming from you, right?

[nyjunc]

You realize how ironic this is coming from you, right?

No I don't get it? You do know there is a HUGE difference from a 2 loss team playing some close games w/ lesser competition than there is from a team fighting just to stay on the bubble, right?

[CoachC.]

No I don't get it?

Obviously.

You do know there is a HUGE difference from a 2 loss team playing some close games w/ lesser competition than there is from a team fighting just to stay on the bubble, right?

Uh, yeah. But that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

My point is this.....

Here's what I wrote about a week or so ago regarding an SU game:

You are always bringing up how they "struggled" to beat a team and counting that against them. Well, first of all, they did not struggle against DePaul. They played very well that night, and did it with only 7 scholarship players available......Other than that, SU was in control the whole way. That is not always reflected on the scoreboard. Again, I'm assuming you did not watch the game and only look at the score if you believe they "struggled."

You responded:

SU led by 1 at the half, how were they pretty much in control the entire game? Depaul led about half the first half, Depaul led w/ 7 mins to play, it was a 1 possession game in the final minute. When exactly was SU in control for most of the game?

But, of course, after Carolina wins a close game.......even after being down by 15 points (Clemson), and even after LOSING a game.....we get:

they played acouple of close games(a L to MD and a W at Clemson) w/ him but for the most part they were always in control when he played.

So, in a nutshell.....when YOUR team wins a close game, even after being down by 15 and needing overtime.....and even after losing one I guess (which I still can't figure out), they were still "always in control." But when a different team does it, of course there's no way they could have been in control.

Must be that great "objectivity" you use to view things, huh? :rolleyes:

[nyjunc]

But, of course, after Carolina wins a close game.......even after being down by 15 points (Clemson), and even after LOSING a game.....we get:


Coach you know I like you but I think you have finally lost it. What does your silly quote about SU being in control of Depaul the entire game when thye were LOSING in the 2nd half and the game was a 1 possession game in the final minute? how is that being in control of a game? and what does that have to do w/ what I wrote? I wrote the heels have played a few close games w/ lawson but FOR THE MOST PART were the Heels were in control when he played.

So, in a nutshell.....when YOUR team wins a close game, even after being down by 15 and needing overtime.....and even after losing one I guess (which I still can't figure out), they were still "always in control." But when a different team does it, of course there's no way they could have been in control.


The part you failed to bold was "FOR THE MOST PART". I did not say they were always in control I wrote for the most part and what does the Clemson game have to do w/ anything? In case you didn't realize it Lawson did NOT play in that game that the Heels went down 15 points in the 2nd half. Again, I wrote WITH Lawson FOR THE MOST PART they were always in control even in close games.

Let's recap:

19 games w/ Lawson:

-Carolina averaged 21 more PPG than their opponents(this includes the loss to MD)

7 games w/o him(this includes 2 mins w/ him against ODU and 4 w/ him against FSU):

-That average goes down to 10 and it was just 5 going into yesterday's game.

I mention "FOR THE MOST PART" in the close games Carolina played w/ Lawson they were in control most of the game. For the most part does NOT include every single game.

-In the first game of the year they won by just 4 over Davidson, they were not in control most of that game as it was a back and forth game throughout.

-At Clemson they were not in control throughout, another back and forth game.

-vs. MD it was also back and forth.

-at Ga Tech they were also not in control the entire game.

That would mean they were in control in their other close games(which I'll show you below) which means in 80% of Lawson's starts they either blew teams out or were in control in closer games which is where "for the most part comes in".

Other closer games w/ Lawson:

- "only" beat UK by 9, the Heels trailed briefly in the first 5-6 minutes but led the rest of way and led by as many as 20 w/ 8 minutes to play.

-"Only" beat Nicholls State by 10, never trailed after the first 10 mins of the game, led by double digits at halftime, led by as many as 21 w/ just over 11 mins to play.

-"only" beat UNC-Asheville by 12, never trailed in the game, led by 13 at the half, led by 18 w/ 12 to play,



Do you see what it means to be in control? not trailing in the 2nd half and only leading in a 1 possesssion game in the final minute. Do you see the difference? how carolina led virtually all of thee games w/ big leads and teams chipped away in garbage time to make the score look closer than it was? this was very different than SU vs. Depaul, don't you agree?

Must be that great "objectivity" you use to view things, huh?

I hope you take the time to read this then you'll understand. I know you are smart enough to know the difference btw a top team playing some close games and a borderline bubble team playing some close games against bad teams. I don't have anything against SU, I am 100% objective unlike yourself who cannot seperate himself from the team he loves which is why you think SU is in the Tourney.

[CoachC.]

When was the last time I wrote SU was "in?" I haven't made any proclamations regarding their status in a while, as I said I wouldn't. These things change by the week, and at this time of year, by the game.

[Lateralus]

So anyway......Duke Sucks

[Blofan4life]

Ok nyjunc, you must not follow your team too well if you think that they only had a couple close calls. Lets start from the first game of the season where they only beat Davidson by 4 points. Then they go into conference play and beat clemson by 2 points, GT by 1, loss to maryland by 2, went into overtime with clemson, beat virginia by 1 and finally got blown out by duke. Wow I thought you said they only had a close call with clemson and maryland. HA

Does anyone on here actually read my posts? I said they had a few WITHOUT Lawson. The Clemson OT game, the UVa game, and the loss to duke(I don't think you watched the game if you think it was a blowout) all happened WITHOUT Lawson. I wrote about some of the other "close" games in my last post. Do me a favor and actually read it then let me know what you think.

[Lateralus]

Way to go Wake! Duke Upset by Wake Forest!!

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) -- Jeff Teague scored 26 points and Wake Forest shocked No. 2 Duke 86-73 on Sunday night, ending the Blue Devils' 12-game winning streak and giving first-year coach Dino Gaudio his first big victory as the heir of the late Skip Prosser's program.

The rest...

Where you at "Doggy"? You're team just got smoked by Wake Forest. Thats the Duke we know and love. Uh oh, its almost March, time for the usual Duke collapse.

Hahaha!!! Duke sucks!! Welcome to the 2 loss club.

[BanditsRock11]

Thats right. UNC #3. Dook #4.

Duke just got beat by Miami.

[BanditsRock11]

:rofl:!!!!

2 in a row? Now a loss to thug U? Really?

I'm dying to hear your excuses for these 2 losses in a row Doggy.

I doubt he has the balls to even show up in this thread right now.

[nyjunc]

Now the Heels control their own destiny as far as the ACC reg season title goes. They are playing really well right now, hopefully Lawson is back soon so we can have him close to 100% by Tourney time.

[Lateralus]

Where is Doggy?

[BanditsRock11]

Where is Doggy?

Amazingly, hes no where to be found...


I bet if Duke somehow beats UNC he'll certainly show up though...

[BF_in_Indiana]

Duke is a streaky team. If they don't shoot well they won't win. They aren't going to beat you inside and that spells nighty night time in the tournament. I'm saying they loe in the Sweet 16.

Duke sucks.

Eat it Dukies. Another Senior Night, another Duke loss.


Doggy, still no where to be found huh? Figured you wouldn't man up.

[BLeonard]

Well, no shoutbox, but as I said I'm here, no excuses... UNC was the better team tonight. ACC Tournament should be very interesting... These two teams could very likely meet again. If they do, it could very well determine who gets the Raleigh/Charlotte path to San Antonio (Looks like they'll both be in the Raleigh Pod regardless).

-Bill

[nyjunc]

Great win clinching the ACC reg season title and the inside track to the East region top seed. They still have a little work to do but things are looking good especially if lawson can get a little healthier.

[Lateralus]

Interesting how much better UNC was with Lawson out there, you can see how much they missed him during the first UNC Duke game. I hope Duke gets smacked around in the ACC tourney.

[Orange Nation]

Absolute disgrace to the game of basketball. Paulus and Henderson dont even try to play real basketball or score, all they do is try to to bait the officials into calling fouls. Its pathetic and the reason Duke is absolutely worthless away from home.

The fact that they dont have a losing record year in and year out is a testament to the disgraceful level of officiating in college basketball.

They are taught and encouraged to play this way. I've really lost all respect for Coach K. allowing and fostering this kind of disgrace basketball. I think I heard the whole country erupt into cheers when Duke went down. Honestly no way they would have made it to the second round without there stripe buddies. They are a 7-9 win team in the BE at best.

The ACC is truly a 1 team league!

I thank god everyday that Paulus didn't stay home and come to Syracuse, and Jonny Flynn came instead.

[Orange Nation]

F Taylor King says he will transfer.

LOL.

[nyjunc]

It's another transfer from duke but Taylor King is not a good player. This just opens up a scholasrship for duke so they could sign someone else who will be a bust and transfer a year or 2 down the road.
