G Webb v UK

One year in 10 where Duke doesnt make the Sweet 16 and now they are on the road to obsolete? Jesus people, some of you are crazy!

dude- i am dead serious about this. I can't take another year of your Duke bull**** homer stuff. It really deteriorates the hoops board. Everyone else here has teams and most people are able to keep that in check. You haven't had an unbiased point on Duke since you've been here and i know i have and certainly a lot of people have had it with the Duke bullshiat. Nobody listens to you anyway when it comes to Duke because you are like freeking linus talking about the great pumpkin when it comes to opinions on Duke basketball. Give it a rest this year, PLEASE, for everyone's sake.

where they play non-withstanding... last year's VCU upset comes to mind.

I'm not dissing Duke man, well maybe I am.

but wouldn't a team have to be damn GOOD, for it to have a target on its back, and expect excellence year in year out?

just expanding on what Cuse pointed out about Kentucky.

while "kids" these days may not care nor know about bball tradition in Kentucky, my point was Duke is dangerously getting close to that territory in the next 5 years if they dont make serious noise in the tourney.

:thumbs:

You are comparing losing to a very, very good VCU team at a neutral site to a team picked 8th in their conference (one of the worst conferences in the country) to start the season going on the road to Kentucky and winning by 20??? Wow

Yea, if Duke loses in the first round for the next 5 years than maybe but face it, that aint happening. We still roll in the top recruits and still have maybe the best coach in the game today.

Last year was the first year out of 10 we didnt make the Sweet 16? That is something no team has ever done before and now you want to talk about Duke being bad in a couple years? Come on man, thats not fair and even the biggest Duke haters wont say that.

We have won 3 titles in the past 16 or so years and won our last title in 2001-02 season. We also won the ACC Tournament title like 7 out of the past 9 years, what more can Duke do?

You might see Duke drop a home game to Virginia Tech or Florida St but you will never see them get beat by 20 at home by Gardner Webb.

I don't get it because Comcast sucks but that's neither here nor there..

My thoughts when the ESPN Bottom Line popped the 28-16 score and then so forth was immediate this...

Is Kentucky basketball going to become as obsolete as Nebraska football? Kids these days don't know, or care, about the Nebraska football tradition (unless they are from Nebraska) and I don't think it's a stretch to think the same is starting to apply to Kentucky hoops.

LOL

one more thing.

you were ultimately talking about tradition, so yeh i agree, kentucky, indiana (if only because of knight), and IMHO, Duke, if they dont make better noise than "just making the tourney".

you bring up a point. look at Indiana bball. nothing without Knight, and now in worse trouble with illegal-phone-call-ass-clown Sampson.

heck Texas Tech bbball at least gets one mention a month from ESPN only because of Knight, when he leaves, we go back to (yes we Cuse, I'm a graduate LOL) obscurity. Now if the school isnt dumb and lets his son coach, maybe we'd get a young brilliant coach continuing what his dad set out to do. hopefully at least

all has to do with the coaches.

in Nebraska football's case, why the hell would you hire Bill Callahan, a Tiger cant change its stripes, why would you expect a Husker to? they'd be relevant if they worried about defense first, their bread and butter.

as for Kentucky, its not that long ago is it that they won their last national championship? LOL maybe a decade, but i think Duke has to apply here, they field a team that is competitive, but not dominant. almost nerdy if you ask me LOL

I mean Elton Brand, Grant Hill, Corey Maggette, Jayson Williams, Shane Battier, heck even Mike Dunleavy to an extent, and Carlos Boozer, good players, not total thugs but good good players.

where are those type of players? the only peeps you can muster up in the last 5 years is Shelden Williams and JJ Reddick? now THATS Duke bball going on the road to be obsolete, until they shut me up this year and go on a tear LOL

This Coaches vs Cancer Classic is shaping up to be a horrible one at best. Kentucky cant even win a home game vs Gardner Webb and uCONn barely got by Morgan St. Man, who else is in this tourny...Hope there is one decent team in it.

Memphis is. I was gonna go to the semis but I'm not going to see Gardner-Webb vs Memphis.

Ha.

[GamblinMan03]

And I bet Patrick Patterson is glad he picked Kentucky over Duke, especially tonight...lol

I know this is a Basketball forum but is D2 Chadron State the best team in Nebraska?
Legit question I think

[GamblinMan03]

This is too funny...
