Today's slam dunk contest was the worst EVER.

 

[jani]

haha certainly was.

To be honest, I think it really is difficult to come up with something new. Its more a question of creativity than ability.

What's up peeps from the state of North Carolina...

Word around here recently is that Marshall Plumlee is in love with Bo Ryan and if he doesn't end up at Duke he'll be in Cardinal and Red. Shifty*my = Excited. Don't want to get my hopes up too much, but dude would be a HUGE recruit for us. We have NEVER EVER EVER grabbed a recruit like that from outside our immediate area with the possible exception of Wes Matthews Sr. in the 70s.

I don't know anything about him but a Jr. who's 6-11 certainly can't be bad.

Talking about other players that tall, Ed Davis of UNC is now under suspicion he has a deal with an agent.

Apparently the agent had Davis listed on his website as a 'client' of his and later claimed his website "was hacked"

When it rains, it pours..

His two brothers are at Duke.

Must-win against Xavier this Saturday or are tourney hopes are dashed.

Saw bits of Wisconsin's game.. haha. Sorry, Shifty.

 

[Deisler]

Cuse almost let it slip away agains the Hoyas but they won with their 2 best players gouled out.

Saw bits of Wisconsin's game.. haha. Sorry, Shifty.

It was seriously the worst Wisconsin game I've seen in 2.5 years. As I said as the game was winding down: "bad shooting, bad rebounding, bad bounces, bad refs"

Tough to win with all of those.

 

[jani]

Thought this was pretty awesome

I'm very sad but not at all surprised at the anal raping we received at Dayton tonight. They are STUDS at home. I was talking with a buddy of mine pre-game and and I told him I saw the game going one of two ways: close game and we lose, or we lose by 30. There was no way in hell we were gonna win that game so I guess that's why I'm not that upset as some other people around these parts are. The way I see it, we are still tied for first in the conference and we have 3 straight home games coming up so we SHOULD be 11-2 going into our last three conference games (with the only toughie being at Rhode Island). A 13-3 record in conference and 23-7 overall going into the A-10 Tournament I think puts us solidly in the NCAAs even if we lose the only A-10 Tournament game we play.

Bobby Lutz teams have been known to fall apart towards the end of the season though so if we don't win another game the rest of the way then hey, it was nice while it lasted I guess.

Wow, I sound like such a tortured college basketball fan

With the exception of the Duquesne loss at home you can't blame this on Lutz. You had a rough stretch. If you beat URI and Richmond you're still sitting pretty. I assume you beat GW and St. Joe's.

We've played ass terrible for five straight games. I'm not confident that we can beat anybody at the moment.

#1, #2 and #3 all lose. All the cynics will say if Duke win they will go #1 tomorrow

Duke won't jump over Syracuse or Kansas. That's ridiculous.

 

[jani]

Man, it's Duke

I haven't been following college ball for long but I know Duke always get special "treatment", if you get what I mean.

 

[jani]

Anyway, I was at the UK game the other day vs South Carolina.

Was pretty sweet. Though I paid about $90 a ticket

Good luck with that. I guarantee Syracuse and Kansas will be ahead of Duke in both polls released Monday.

 

[jani]

Well, I was partially right. They got 1 #1 place vote

 

[ShiftyPowers]

LOL, probably from an ACC coach.
