Duke overated big time

 

Osiris, I'm a Duke fan. Its nice to hear someone who is not a Duke fan talk with knowledge of bball. Most of the Duke haters have no clue about bball. What Duke has done from 85-04 is simply remarkable. They are also 30-3 in the ACC tourny since 99. That is an unbelievable stat IMO. I'm not saying Duke is a lock to win anything. If Zoubek continues to play well they have a good as chance as anyone. For anyone to say they are overrated is a complete moron. If anyone was overrated it was Uconn and UNC.

 

And by the way, to all you dummies who say they cant win on the road. Almost every team in the nation losses are on the road. The majority anyway.

 

Go get ready for the NIT. William and Mary should be tough.

Zook those cuse teams, especially the 06 werent nearly as good.

william and mary 88 unc 60

Duke has just as many "haters" as they do people who like them.  The worst #1 seed in the history of the tournament?? 

Alex-

Get ready to not remember what the Final 4 is like!!!!

But you got that ACC tourney locked down again. Beating no seed higher than a 7.

Losing on the road is one thing

5-5 is just flat out average.

And don't even try to put me just in the hater category. I wrote an essay and made my biggest bet of the yr and gave the EXACT WAY Nova would beat the crap out of them LY.

Most know that except for kids who came in this yr once their Pukies had a better shot. You got the weakest 2 Seed, you aren't better than Cuse, and WVU and OSU deserved it more.

But enjoy this Great Seed, and your Conf title. Only things you can win lately.

Osirus
That 06 team had one of Cuses best recruiting classes
mccrosky, Watkins, Nichols, T.Roberts along with GMac and Devendorf. How can you say they werent as good? they had all the talent in the world, something JB couldnt seem to get out of them.
they underachieved bigtime. .
the 04 team had all those guys plus warrick and pace from the 03 champ. team. granted they did make the 16.
the 05 team same guys shouldve never lost to fricking vermont.
JB has never been the best motivator

Doug Gottleib has Duke in the National Championship

What we have done from 85-04? LMFAO

So you basically are saying you haven't done sh*t the past 5 yrs?

Funny, thats when someone else won 2 NC and made the Final 4 3 yrs.

04 and 05 shouldnt have lost when they did but 06 was a 5 or 6 seed i think losing to texam. This team is far better than the 2006 team. Either way those games have no bearing on this team. This team is as talented as the natl title team. Obviously no carmelo.  They have come along way since that loss to the d2 team lol.

Doug Gottleib is an idiot
"After signing a national letter of intent with Notre Dame, Gottlieb was the starting point guard for Notre Dame during the 1995-1996 college basketball season. He started all but four games for Notre Dame during that season. During Gottlieb's freshman year at Notre Dame, he stole credit cards from a roommate and fraudulently charged over $900 to those cards. Subsequently, he was kicked off the Notre Dame basketball team and eventually convicted of misdemeanor fraud."

i do have duke in the championship in 1 of my other brackets though too
they do seem to pull wins out of their ass sometimes

you should have to forfeit your natl title last year for such a pathetic effort this year. I remember you saying back in december maybe that the heels would do a complete 180 just watch. Im watching.... Larry drew is solid

Osirus- I am not saying they aren't good, but man, they already only played 7 guys. Now it might only be 6.

Who was the last team that made a run deep with only 6 guys?

It only takes 1 game to get into fould trouble.

Have the talent? YES

Very slim though.

I think they fall into the Cincy level back when K-Mart got hurt. They were the best until the injury.

O might come back, and if he's close ot 100%, yeah, Final 4, but I just don't see it happening anymore.

 

Agree,  and that DII team was cross town LeMoyne College. lol
I almost went there to play LAX. I played bball with their coach growing,Steve Evans, he was a dick lol.
anyway yeah this team does have the talent but theyre stupid sometimes as well , Esp jackson and jardine. and now with AO out we're thin. JB only plays 7 guys and we're down to 6.
Frosh C D.Riley may see some time if Jackson gets in foul trouble , but hes young and inexperienced and in the trny JB rarely goes and deeper on that bench. If he can get by with 6 he will and that wont cut it imo.

I'll take that action and give you odds.PM me if interested.

So what exactly are you thinking with arinze? Just 2 games out or more. Obviously vermont doesnt matter and i truly dont see gonzaga or fsu winning even if he sits. Than in the swt 16 you get either butler/utep/murrayst/vandy (whoever comes out of that mess, i like butler). Than maybe kansas st in the elite 8 which is tough

Yeah, we'll give it back as soon as Puke gives their for that "Magical Win" over the best team ever in the tourney UNLV. What about the one 5yrs ago? Still better than them.

btw- has this yr team every really played fully together.

Root for Cuse and like the Pukies cause you HATE NC.

I'm sure if the Pukies/Cuse  win this yr you won't say anything bad about the field was the worst and they didn't win it in a "down yr"" right?

You are bias and back your teams only just as much as anyone hates your.

Agreed! How can you be so fucking awesome when you get all the top recruits and get beatdown constantly in the tournament.Screw Duke,OVERATED EVERY YEAR!

I am not a duke fan!! Never have been. I just think they have a good team, better than most think. I hate unc because there fans are fucking morons and horrible.

Unc fans were so arrogant the last few years they though they could beat bad nba teams. Seriously. Fuck off unc dumbasses. 15,000 empty seats and some late season games. Bad fans

Yeah I think he'll be out this week/weekend def.
so gotta hope we can get by 2nd rnd without him somehow.
theyll need a big game from Jackson underneath.
 Rautins, Johnson, Jardine and K.Joseph all  had big games vs Gtwn and they still lost.
I feel better about their sweet16 matchup (if they can get there) than against Gonz or FSU.

Now in that gtown loss they were very sloppy with the turnovers and would have probably lost anyways with arinze. In fact he got hurt after they fell behind and were playing bad

just going to chime in re: duke, unc etc..
I never hated unc, until goober roy showed up there.
man I cannot stand to hear him speak, he sounds slow and retarded
duke wins with good bball and its hard not to hate them
 i think most people hate them because vitale has made it his goal in life to praise them exclusively.
but
I hate Kansas, mostly because I was at the 1996 Reg Final in Denver when Cuse beat them to go to the Final 4. Their fans were all assholes. Man was that '03 championship sweet .

 

. Well put. UNC Dumbasses

Gottleib is an idiot he also thought VA tech should be in tourney when out of conference strength of schedule was something like 344 out of 347 division one teams
