gonna be a good game. but im with my dukies on this one

12/9/2005 7:06:17 PM

i am in the same boat. it is going to be a hard game but i think jj will carry them to victory

12/9/2005 7:12:51 PM

haha, no way duke wins, texas wins, 76-68

12/9/2005 7:15:34 PM

i actually hope Duke wins that way the ACC looks a little better cuz this past week we have had some terrible losses.

not to mention i dont really like Texas at all this year, though i hate Duke as much if not more


but heres to the ACC!

12/9/2005 7:17:15 PM

that score line sounds right but it will be duke. No shame in a loss either. texas is pretty ill

12/9/2005 7:17:47 PM

I don't know - Duke seems to be having trouble putting teams away this year, at home and away. It wouldn't shock me to see them lose, though it would be better for the ACC if they win (as much as I hate saying that)

12/9/2005 7:55:47 PM

duke by 7

12/9/2005 7:56:15 PM

i will pull for dook the day that i shit gold coins

12/9/2005 7:57:56 PM

thats bc you are a carolina fan!


duke has too much for the texans, vince young cant save you now. this game will help put the rankings in line with where they should be

12/9/2005 8:06:41 PM

the honest part of me thinks texas will win. the matchups put

dockery vs gibson- probobly cancel
mcroberts vs buckman- buckman
sheldon vs aldridge- should cancel but texas may put buckman on sheldon giving t the advantage
jj vs texas sg- huge advantage to duke
who the fuck vs tucker- anyway you cut its a huge advantage to tucker. duke doenst have anybody that can guard him. jamal boykin is the only player on the team with the physical capability too and he probobly hasnt even played 10 minutes. imo this is where texas wins the game. jj melchioni or paulus on tucker?

bench-even or slight advantage duke

with all that said duke will have to have a huge performance out of a bench player to win. a melchioni pocius or offensive dockery (assuming texas doesnt choke)

12/9/2005 8:14:24 PM

i tried to explain to people at work today that its almost a home game for duke (aka: the university of new jersey)

gibson is one of the best point guards in the country

12/9/2005 8:18:18 PM

well then that makes dockery one of the best pg in the nation.

12/9/2005 8:21:33 PM

one of the best defensive pg in the country.

im still not 100% he wont guard tucker. i mean who is gonna guard tucker? if u put dockery on gibson paulus on the sg (worst offensive player on texas start 5 worst d guard of the 3 for duke) then jj ends up on tucker which would ultimatly lead to either alot of points for tucker or jj foul trouble.

if i was coach k i would start boykin in place of paulus so he could play tucker while all 3 texas big men are in at the same time.

demarcus nelson will SURELY be missed in this game

12/9/2005 8:31:32 PM

i like texas.

12/9/2005 8:41:16 PM

I hope Duke wins but the way they've been playing lately, I don't know.

12/9/2005 9:05:38 PM

duke is weak. they were much better at this point last year. Texas has the horses to defeat duke the same way they have lost for the last 2 years -- get s. williams out and abuse the hapless scrub who fills in for him.

^thats sarcasm. He was mocking the duke dick sucker's assessment: "dockery vs gibson- probobly cancel"

[Edited on December 9, 2005 at 9:56 PM. Reason : i hope he was mocking]

12/9/2005 9:55:23 PM

so im a dick sucker because i honestly think dockery is one of the best defensive pgs in the nation even though i said i think texas will win

12/9/2005 10:57:09 PM

Texas hits a half court shot with 2 seconds to play


Meaning Duke only beats them by 8 instead of 11

your a fair minded fan but it's absurd to say potential all american vs a role player is a cancel

12/9/2005 11:22:23 PM

and guess what his role is?

12/9/2005 11:28:59 PM

to believe that he is chris duhon

12/9/2005 11:36:20 PM

just think if we had Rick Barnes here...look at this game, and look at the last Iowa game.

12/9/2005 11:52:53 PM

rick barnes is not a great coach. hes better than herb because at least he runs a regular offense but hes not somebody you would want to make your program dominant.

12/10/2005 12:34:07 AM

Hey way to turn a Duke vs. Texas thread into a goddamn anti-State thread, you douchebags.

12/10/2005 12:59:18 AM

^^cause texas was so fucking great last year you ass hole.

[Edited on December 10, 2005 at 1:11 AM. Reason : ]

12/10/2005 1:11:23 AM

Yo dude, Duke has no advatage on the bench, w/o DeMarcus Nelson, that leaves David McClure, who isnt particularly good, and a bunch of farily taleneted freshman...nothing compared to Texas. Oh yeah and Gibson is a Top 5 pick next year and Dockery will be lucky to wash he jersey. That said, Duke has the adavantage in...
COACH K....Best Active Coach....Top 5 All Time
JJ/Shelden....Senior All Americans
The Meadowlands....The "Neutral Court" will be swarming with Dukies not Horns...Sorry

That said...Sick Game, Hope For Quad OT, I give the edge to Texas w/ depth and Overall talent, but don't count out any team with JJ/Shleden "The Missing Link"/Coach K

12/10/2005 2:29:47 AM

OMG RICK BARNES?

I HEARD HES COMING TO STATE

ABOUT 50 TIMES

12/10/2005 2:36:57 AM

^^ you automatically know nothing because david mcclure is redshirted this year. dockerys been known as one of the best on ball defenders since his freshman year. and dont play the top 5 pick card because he gave felton a fit last year

12/10/2005 3:33:31 AM

That still doesnt cancel out the best PG in the country!

12/10/2005 8:58:56 AM

is there a way that the floor could open up and consume both team?

actually, i take that back. i've got nothing against tejas as a team, just their shit for brains coach. so ideally, the floor on the dook sideline would open up, and then just a little trapdoor for wherever barnes is standing.

12/10/2005 9:33:44 AM

who cares?

12/10/2005 10:56:54 AM

pj tucker is one dumb jig

12/10/2005 1:49:01 PM

shelden williams can apparently mug anyone and not get a foul

12/10/2005 1:50:37 PM

texas should just do us all a favor and break redick.


[Edited on December 10, 2005 at 2:02 PM. Reason : damn, duke is clowning texas]

12/10/2005 1:52:39 PM

hey, what channel is the game on (Cable)?

12/10/2005 2:07:20 PM

someone call the paramedics, duke is killing texas

12/10/2005 2:09:54 PM

CBS

12/10/2005 2:37:36 PM

50-44 duke 17 min left

12/10/2005 2:44:10 PM

What's worse? Texas' ball control or those awful black jerseys?

12/10/2005 2:48:08 PM

I figured Texas was overrated, but this is just embarrassing.

To all the Duke haters on TWW:

I'm taping this game on my computer. I will burn you a DVD and you can break down how bad Duke is play by play. Use discerning basketball knowledge and then we'll talk...kkthx...

12/10/2005 3:00:16 PM

SICK block by Shelden.

Redick is ridiculous.

Duke is Duke.

12/10/2005 3:01:46 PM

Texas looks like poo

12/10/2005 3:02:38 PM

for a second there, I thought I saw herb sendek on the texas sideline.

12/10/2005 3:12:41 PM

Duke vs. Texas no

more like Coach K pwning Barnes

and my boy/pick Tucker is sickkkkkkkk, told ya he would be up there

[Edited on December 10, 2005 at 3:23 PM. Reason : .]
