Duke NC State game on now!

[ousooners1baby]

Wow. Great game to watch someone score. At the half it's State up 53-50. Brandon Ingram is perty good.

Duke is not a team you want to see as a 5 or 6 seed if they end up getting that.

I've seen them as a 4 seed in OU's bracket (with OU the 1) far too much for comfort. I agree, they will play better than most 4 seeds.

It's always a nice day when Puke loses. Maybe NC State can pull this off.

91-89 Duke with a FT coming....1:14 left. Apparently, defense is optional in this game.

 

[ousooners1baby]

1.4 left with State looking to tie with ball after t-o! They wasted 10 seconds before the foul! Ouch.

Duke doesn't scare me - at all. We would match up very well with Duke.

Greatest coach of all time plus a roster with a bunch of futre NBA players is not what you want to face up against in a lower seed.

They don't rebound. They don't guard the perimeter well. We match up well against them.

They don't rebound. They don't guard the perimeter well. We match up well against them.

And they are 2 seed talent that may be a 5. I'd much rather play a team with 5 seed talent that we don't matchup with as well. There's a reason underachieving Kentucky teams have made deep runs in the tournament, and Duke is cut from the same mold.

I'd argue we don't rebound well, and how well do you trust us to guard the #3 most efficient offense in the country, coached by one of the all time greats?

Terrible matchup. Just like Michigan State would be too. Let's not think we're good enough to beat a team that is only seeded 10-14 spots lower, and coached by some of the greatest to coach the game.

Duke would be a very very tough out for OU..If it was close at the end that would favor Duke in a great way

Oh yes, heaven forbid we think that.

How come you cut off my quote?

smh

 

[StatGeek]

Oh yes, heaven forbid we think that.

Sentiment such as WT's is quite perplexing to me as well.

smh

I'd have the same response to your full quote. We have a pretty good coach ourselves, and the man you're painting as all but invulnerable has been coaching Duke all season, has he not? I mean, he didn't just wake up from a season-long coma, did he?

Shake your head all you like. I've got a crick in my neck from shaking mine at your post. I honestly couldn't believe what I was reading, even coming from you.

I disagree a little bit. I don't believe that they have 2 seed talent...especially without Amile Jefferson. Duke is thin, they don't guard very well, and are susceptible on the boards. Unless they get hot from behind the arc, I think they are done before the 1st weekend this year.

what a clown statement

The unbeatable Blue Devils, coached by the infallible Coach K, were bounced out of the ACC tourney today by Notre Dame.

 

[ousooners1baby]

Great! I was too busy watching the Hawkers beat up on our nemesis! Why didnt someone tell me there was a good game going on? I mean I was keeping up with the score while working.
