Duke making Xavier look like garbage

[Heebs]

39-16 with 7 minutes to go in the 1st.

Yes they are..X just looks lost right now. I hope the 2nd half is better than the first.

 

[Heebs]

They can't hit FT's, can't hit FG's, and can't play defense.

Nor can they handle the ball and penetrate. Overall they look no better than Siena right now.

 

[myrobbins7]

X 24 - Duke 55 at the half. :crazy:

 

[Heebs]

And it's in...New Jersey.

No excuse for Xavier.

If you think these games at the Meadowlands or the Garden aren't a huge homecourt advantage for Duke, you've obviously never attended one of them.

It was much more than the crowd today.

I didn't say otherwise. Just pointing out that acting as if Duke playing in one of those venues is a neutral floor is inaccurate.

 

[Heebs]

Maybe not, but it sure wasn't Cameron.

Like I said, no excuse for X

Hat, you are acting as if Duke was the official university of New Jersey or something...

There's a reason they call it SUNY-Durham. Anyone who has ever attended a Duke game in either of the facilities I mentioned would laugh in your face if you told them it was a "neutral site" game.

My sarcasm is always much harder to pick up in words, but while I have heard the SUNY reference before, I always hear references of Duke being NJ's real state U.

It makes sense, as a lot of their students are from the NE.

But my whole thing was that Cameron would give any visiting team fits, but a hostile neutral court shouldn't have been that big of a deal for a tested team like X and a good coach like Sean Miller.

I got your sarcasm, I was just taking the opportunity to buttress my intial point. If you took New York/New Jersey residents off the Duke campus, you'd have a student population comparable to Centenary.

Again, there's nothing neutral about playing Duke in the Meadowlands.

No..that is definitely a homecourt game for Dook! Dook looked impressive today though.
