Since ESPN is continually talking about Duke not being ranked, losing 4 straight games, etc. I figured we might as well have a thread on hear discussing it. So, what does everyone think about Duke's meltdown as of late?

GO DUKE! Young team with young talent and no leaders equals lots of losses. North Carolina went through this a few years back and had a dreadful year (acutally a couple) I doubt they will lose anyone to the draft this year and they have a excellent recruiting class coming in next year so far anyways. As for this year, I would not be suprised to see them to get on a roll. This years team is streaky and I look for them to make it to the NCAA's and upset a few ppl..not a National Championship team by any means, just a upset alert team!

As for Duke's program, I have nothing against them. They have one of the best coaches the game has seen and are usually one of the top teams in the country every year. The reason I am enjoying seeing Duke fall apart is because the media, mainly ESPN, insists on shoving Duke down our throats all of the time. Also, it is human nature to enjoy seeing a team that is a very good team every year have a year when they are down.

If it makes you feel any better, I wish UNC and Duke would both struggle.

My dislike of'em stems from people around here cheering for Duke or UNC in basketball season then cheering for UT in football season.

...well i think I can cheer for Duke just for the sole reason I used to live around there forever...but i defiently see ur point and agree. I pull for both and hope to God they never play each other....and as far as ESPN i see that too...they are kinda doing that for UNC this yr though..well more in the preseason than they are now..but still doing it...and ESPN flat out hates the SEC( minus florida) or so i think

Much like the Lakers, Yankees, Cowboys etc Duke has a ton of fans who cheer for them for no reason other than they are traditionally good. I respect Coach K and what he has done but I am not ahamed to say I am enjoying the meltdown so the fair weather fans have nothing to talk about

I don't like Duke because when you play Duke especially at Cameron you have to beat 8...Did anyone see the game, I forget who it was against where they gave Duke 4.4 seconds when clearly by the videotape the refs watched it should have been about 2 and of course Duke used the full 4 seconds and made the game winning basket? The team they beat was DUKED!
