If LSU (or whoever your fav team is) had someone that would flop to get charges...you would praise them for doing the dirty work and being a hard nosed player. But because you hate Duke and ...he's a bitch

I didn't like Voogd, and all he knew how to do was flop, couldn't make a basket to save his life.

Because Voogd was a terrible player. Hell..I couldn't stand him. But that's because he hurt my fav. team when he was on the court. I would've love him to play for other teams.

When is Ginyard suppose to return?


Next year. They announced that the week of the Duke game. Good news though. The 7-footer, Tyler Zeller is back. Not playing much right now, but it will help in the long run.

Not as bad as losing to BC earlier in the season.

I've already addressed this.

How often have you really watched Carolina this year? Just out of curiousity. And if you can name a team that doesn't coast at some point when they are up double digits, I will then bow to your greatness. Yes Carolina did it against Duke, and Carolina did it against Maryland the other night to an extent. But the Terps got really really really hot. I hate to bring in some quesionable calls by the officials, but Maryland just got really really hot, and like I said earlier, Carolina couldn't answer it. It really seamed the only one who wanted it was Lawson.

Yeah, Zeller's return is pretty huge. He's got a couple of weeks to get back into rhythm again before the tournament. Excellent timing.

But, losing Ginyard for the season is a huge hit to Carolina, in my opinion. He's by far their best defender, and is one of the better perimeter defenders in the nation. That's something UNC has been missing all season long.

That excuse is invalid. Carolina will get a 1 seed in the NCAA tourney however, thanks to so many top teams being inconsistent this year, but they need to get their shite together if they are expecting to win it all.

I am not saying that. I knew I shouldn't have even brought it up. I am not using it as an excuse.

Your UNC team has ONE less conference loss, lol.

So, if Duke is being exposed, it looks like your #1 preseason Heels are also being exposed.

This post is dumb on so many levels, I'm not sure how you cannot see that.

You are a boxscore watcher, if you ACTUALLY watch basketball games you would see Duke will again get picked off early in the tournament.

Again, you spoke of there high ranking being too high.

EVERY year they play one of the toughest schedules, and this year they're 22-5.

If you look at the rankings and think they're not deserving of where they're ranked, you're just being biased and lying to yourself.

Define early. They'll make the sweet 16.

That's not even the point.

Barry is suggesting that pollsters should base there rankings on where they think Duke will lose in the tourney. That is so retarded.

You look at record, SOS, and who teams beat. Duke IS deserving of a #7 ranking right NOW, at worst top 10.

He's just hating, nothing more, nothing less.

Hopefully as long as Coach Krzyzewski is at Duke and then after that delightful,engaging Johnny Dawkins returns to Durham to replace him.Duke basketball is what it is all about. Everyone of these players are true 'scholar-athletes',not just merely 'student athletes'. All of these young men excel in the classroom as well as on the court.

When you add the humbleness to the greatness which is Mike Krzyzewski it really is a privledge for thos pared against the Blue Devils to have that once in a lifetime opportunity to face 'greatness'.

Honestly,its the NCAA that benefits from Duke,not the other way around.
