Duke Game Thread

A dreadful Senior Day is a near certainty. Final word: Yeah, it was dreadful. Just not in the way I expected. Duke takes it’s only second half lead at 87-86, and the game ends that way.

    No Ferg starting but he did start Smith.

  2. Rick Says:

    Good lands Paulus is a putz

  3. Rick Says:

    I do not ever want to see someone hurt but if I did Paulus is the one. That is a foul that is worth it.

  4. Rick Says:

    Costner and McCauley come in and we are up 10-7.
    Ferg entering too
    Two fouls on Javi.

  5. Anthony Grundy Says:

    Dammit, why does he take out Smith and why doesn’t he start Fergie?

    We can win this game…if we put in the appropriate players.

    I still believe.

    haha yeah…hopefully that will make paulus back off and be a little more hesitatant. hey, we are causing some tutnovers and also winning the game. what a concept!

  7. Rick Says:

    How many crappy charges can they call? This is getting absurd

  8. inhoc... Says:

    WHAT THE HECK…another offencive foun on johnson. that one wasnt hus fault. basket should have counted and had a free throw. look at shire get packed…..

  9. Rick Says:

    Why did McCauley fade away from the dunk?
    Duke is 1 for 9 and we are only up 1. It is going to ge tugly soon.
    Fells had a nice block.

  10. savotage Says:

    Johnson has never impressed me. Although Duke is hand-checking really bad today…although I guess they always do.

  11. inhoc... Says:

    damn, sorry about all these typos. bad keyboard

  12. Rick Says:

    Duke’s philosphy is to constantly hand check on the assumption hte ref cannot call them all. Then of course when you go by them the refs call a charge.

    Great idea if you can get away with it. Of course only Darth K coached teams can get away with it.

    I’m in Chile, does anybody know of a way I can listen to the game?…for free…

  14. inhoc... Says:

    well it looks like duke is a little over confident and right now state is showing a little heart and intensity. coach K will undoubtedly make some adjustments. lets hope the pack does the same and keeps fighting through this thing. i dont like all these cheap fouls getting called. i normally dont like johnson but more power to him taking it to the hole. that was the right move. great slam JJ!

  15. inhoc... Says:

    ferg looked good bringing up the ball.

  16. Anthony Grundy Says:

    Fergie looks like he can handle the ball well. He broke down Schyer pretty easily. But I guess Schyer is the worst defender in duke’s rotation.

    Fergie for PG.

  17. Rick Says:

    Why does K get away wiht stopping the game?

  18. McPete Says:

    i didn’t realize the blazer was out. duke’s in trouble.

  19. inhoc... Says:

    sid had to bring out the blazer…

  20. inhoc... Says:

    well there goes the lead….at least sid called a time out as soon as we loose it. thats an improvement. keep letting ferg run it!

  21. savotage Says:

    Fergie > Johnson bringing the ball up.

  22. Rick Says:

    How many charges have they called on us?

    The flop is ruining college besketball. They have got to stop that call.

  23. Rick Says:

    Smith, McCauley and Costner alll in at the same time.

    Interesting and working so far.

    Javi is playing well

  24. Trip Says:

    Come on guys… why can’t we suck early so I can just give up? It looks like we just have duke’s number in the first half.

  25. Dogbreath Says:

    Thank you Javi Gonzalez. I cannot remember the last time a State player stood up to the Duke “mystique” and dirty tactics.

    Cold cocking Greg Paules and then slapping the dogshit out of Smith’s hand (which was on his hip) have earned Gonzalez a membership in the all-time favorite club.
