dukes gettin alot of TV time lately, sucks

gonna be a blowout im sure
by the way, duke has only lost 8 out of conference games in cameron 182-8 thats not bad at all.

12/7/2005 7:06:48 PM

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they play teams like Penn.

12/7/2005 7:07:28 PM

penn. up by 3 5 min. into the game

[Edited on December 7, 2005 at 7:09 PM. Reason : .]

12/7/2005 7:09:40 PM

i'd like to see their out of conference road record. probably something like 1-3 all time

12/7/2005 7:10:54 PM

hopefully UNC loses to St. Louis tonight at 9

12/7/2005 7:14:50 PM

i like seeing 9 out of 10 white guys on the floor

12/7/2005 7:17:32 PM

problem with Duke is post D, Majerus just said it but i said it in the Vtech game as well...take away Williams and Duke cant rebound at all

12/7/2005 7:18:49 PM

duke needs to work on rebounding.

but really there is no doubt in my mind that Redick will be national player of the year

12/7/2005 7:18:56 PM

nelson will help with rebounding when he comes back. he loves to go balls out and get boards

12/7/2005 7:21:29 PM

i dont know where you get your info. first, penn is a tournament team 2nd, duke has played at indiana this year michigan state 2 years ago but most of the powerful teams duke play dont want to do home and home deals and have to go to cameron so most of them happen on nuetral courts. (texas and ou for example).

i dont like the shots jjs been taking the last 2 games. i knwo he usually takes crazy shots but these last 2 games its just been like watching the lakers or sixers

bingo

and as for national player of the year

Foye or Ford

12/7/2005 7:23:22 PM

who do foye and ford play for

12/7/2005 7:24:26 PM

^^^ yeah exactly, they pansy out and refuse to play on the road. they were forced to play indiana and msu because of the acc/big 10 challenge

12/7/2005 7:38:39 PM

ive never had him on my player of the year list but that is a nice dark horse you picked.

12/7/2005 7:38:47 PM

and you have never heard of Foye either? see Foye is def. my #1 pick

12/7/2005 7:41:01 PM

i have never watched nova play do i dont know how good foye is but looking at his stats he looks pretty good

All the CT papers reported that Calhoun approached K about a home and home and K said he doesn't do road games in the Northeast. Basicially said '1 at Cameron; 1 at MSG'.. yea that is fair.

Take that with a grain of salt since CT newspapers aren't exactly enamored with Duke but outside of the ACC/Big 10 I RARELY if EVER see Duke play true OOC road games...

but yea Penn is usually a relatively strong team.. p.s.-- Alabama (who we play) is getting roughed up by ND...

[Edited on December 7, 2005 at 7:45 PM. Reason : f]

12/7/2005 7:44:19 PM

foye wont win it. he has too many guards on his team splitting the shots

12/7/2005 7:44:42 PM

i wouldnt want to play uconn at uconn either

12/7/2005 7:45:48 PM

micheal jordan played for penn

12/7/2005 7:47:38 PM

Why would Duke play OOC road games seriously, though? If ESPN/2 is going to broadcast ALL their shitty names nationally what is the point in take the risk of playing a UConn or a Syracuse or a Kentucky on their home floors? It isn't a risk worth taking.

V I think people make a big deal about it because every year they see UNC, Syracuse, Maryland, UConn, etc, etc go and play these high profile OOC true road games. I don't have a problem with the way Duke schedules. People used to complain about UConn's somewhat weak Decembers. But like Duke, how can you argue with how they schedule given their success.. It's ridiculous..

12/7/2005 7:48:03 PM

whats the point of ooc road games. playing on nuetral courts gets you ready for the tournament.

12/7/2005 7:49:29 PM

yeah just let road acc games get your ready for other hostile crowds

12/7/2005 7:51:27 PM

Gtech is losin to Georgia by 13 right now...way to go ACC

45-32 with 1:40 left in the first

12/7/2005 7:58:50 PM

whats up with ND and Quinn's

btw hope ND wins and Bama loses, looks better for us

12/7/2005 8:06:41 PM

but we play bama too

12/7/2005 8:11:18 PM

^^i just learned earlier this year that it wasnt the same person

12/7/2005 8:13:38 PM

i know, since we play bama and they are fairly high ranked if ND wins it looks better for their wins and adds to our RPI

not to mention Bama shouldnt fall far if they lose so it would be another ranked opponent for us.

12/7/2005 8:15:26 PM

ND is pulling some nc state shit.

i don't mean to be a duke homer, but it was very clear before the season in multiple publications that duke's schedule was made this way for a reason. they wanted to play every different style of basketball they could in their OOC games. they've played tough scrappy teams (indiana), quick athletic teams (memphis), slow, methodical teams ala nc state (davidson and penn).

the texas game will be the litmus test, but i think that playing different styles in different environments is the key...

"^^^ yeah exactly, they pansy out and refuse to play on the road. they were forced to play indiana and msu because of the acc/big 10 challenge"

most duke games are 1-1 home/away matchups that rotate yearly...the majority of their other games are coaches tied into duke somehow (through duke or west point)...they don't just randomly find that information

duke has a very tough OOC schedule this year anyway: indiana, texas, memphis, st. john's, bucknell (VERY good team without much publicity), and georgetown...

that's a pretty decent schedule paired with the wear and tear of acc play...is there another acc team that has a tougher schedule?

duke has the #1 RPI currently

Gtech only down by 11...they might can come back, plenty of time 12 min left

12/7/2005 8:42:41 PM

theres no way to predict that SOS already...no one knows who the good teams are actually

that thing has always been crap to me

12/7/2005 8:44:15 PM

good win for ND and a good win for us when it comes to RPI...makes our schedule that much stronger

12/7/2005 8:51:06 PM

"duke has the toughest schedule in the country...#1 RPI currently "

I agree with you about the scheduling. I don't see any point in ridiculing them for that.

However, that is crap. #1 RPI SOS??? (that source.. not you point it out fwiw) How?? When you have a team like Gonzaga that has played #3, #12, #19, and #20... Duke has played #11 and #16 .. The numbers just don't add up.
