Fair points. Didn't realize singler boarded so well honestly. Basically they, like any champion, don't win without a few guys and some luck.

While I mostly agree, it did not seem as though Kentucky needed any luck last season (of course, KU lived off of luck in the tournament last season). They were just deadly.

Damn right. Maybe James Michael can tip in a 3 for him next week.

Lol that's weak.


After this L, and one in Chapel Hill next week, Dook will be closer to a 3 seed than 1. Hairston will start out on Wiltjer,I meant Kelly.

I must disagree. Singler's 2010 tournament performance was outstanding. He was grabbing between 8 boards a game and scoring close to twenty each game. Other teams were forced to put bigger lineups on the floor against Duke and Singler had his way with bigger forwards out on the perimeter. When they went small, he just ripped rebounds away.

Sheyer kept teams honest (he put up more points than Singler), as they could not help on Singler and when they did, Sheyer had an open look from beyond the arc or he simply ducked inside his man for a mid-range jumper. Thomas and Zoubek made teams alter their lineups to keep a third big in the game.

That team was one of the best built teams for Coach K's system (easily the best, in my opinion, since Hurley, Hill, Hill, and Laettner).

As far as the NCAA Tournament (and the ACC Tourney for that matter) goes, you are exactly right. Sheyer and Singler were gigantic. But to his credit, Zoubek carried the team defensively and off the glass the last two months of that regular season and put them in the position they were in. He stepped up big time down the stretch.

Lol I knew this was coming. Career half and trailing. Glad he is playing well so there are no excuses. I'm sure y'all will come up with something.

He is bad, obviously. And, his presence makes no difference to this Duke team. Duh.

You mentioned it before (and yes, I realize your sarcasm now), but every successful Coach K has had a Ryan Kelly type player. The said Ryan Kelly player doesn't have to be the best player on his team, he just makes the team go.

Mason Plumlee though has to start playing A LOT better if Duke actually is going to cut down the nets in the Georgia Dome.

Kelly played out of his mind. Doubt that will happen. Also, no excuses, I'm glad you guys think dook is invincible right now. I could understand if the game was at CIS

PJ vs Kelly will be interesting. I like his chances. Plumlee didn't take advantage of JMM down low last time, so I'm sure he will try to early. If Bullock out plays Curry, I think Unc wins. If not, and PJ doesn't play well they will lose.

Cant really say either way.
Looking forward to one hell of a game.

Good luck Duke, may the best team win.

Duke fans wish me luck. Getting ready to head to the Chapel Hill and risk my life by going to Top of the Hill before going to the game. I'm sure I will not be getting a warm reception at the bar
