Other Games 24-25 Season

B
john1219, Alabama is very talented and can really score being led by Sears and Nelson. Oats is a very good coach too. St. John's in Newark is who I hope Duke avoids in Duke's region since a lot of fans would show up to support St. John's playing essentially a home game. Michigan State is also one of the hotter teams in the country right now playing their best basketball of the season. Florida is really good, so I hope they remain on the 1 seed line.

I would prefer Duke to have Tennessee or Alabama as their 2 seed, because Duke would have way more fans in Newark than either of those teams. Also, these are their respective weaknesses.

Tennessee - Struggles to score
Alabama - Struggles to defend

Florida, St. John's, and Michigan State would be Tougher Draws for Duke imo

As of today, this is how I think it looks (I am no bracketologist by any means haha!!)

South (Atlanta):
1) Auburn
2) Texas Tech

East (Newark):
1) Duke
2) Alabama

Midwest (Indianapolis):
1) Houston
2) Tennessee

West (San Francisco):
1) Florida
2) Michigan State

If Alabama defeats Auburn on Saturday and Duke beats unc then Duke will overtake the overall #1 seed since Auburn will have 1 more loss on the season and Duke won the head to head matchup

St. John's is on the cusp of moving up to the 2 seed line if Texas Tech loses on Saturday @ Arizona State or if Texas Tech fails to make it to the semi-finals of the Big12 Tournament

I don't like having a potential matchup with Alabama, I would rather have any of the other 2 seeds.

Some of these possible 8 seeds are crazy...UCONN, Kansas, and Gonzaga are all in that ballpark.
Am I scared of any of them? No. Would I like to play someone else in the 2nd round? Yes.

Thought last nights game were good for us. I do not want Florida to be our 2 seed. They are extremely balanced, and I think they are a tier better than Alabama, Tennessee, MSU, St. Johns. Elite teams win on the road, and they have won at Auburn and at Alabama, that's impressive. Looks like they are on track now though to get the 4th #1 seed.

Kansas and UConn will be in that 6-7 range once the dust settles.

You mean the early '90s? When the '94 Crime Bill was applauded by Black communities and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy was considered a victory for LGBTQIAQAULO+ service members?
You mean 8-16 years and 3 Presidencies ago when we were in the worst recession since the Great Depression at that time?
You mean when they talked about it at a different point in history? Note that I haven't brought up the disastrous Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act from President Hoover's administration to disparage President Trump's tariffs despite my concerns because that was almost NINETY YEARS AGO.
Did President Biden oversee the laying off of 90k+ miners over the entire 4-year course of his Presidency?

It's false equivalency and irrelevant.

Again, I'm just bookmarking this as where we stand less than 50 days into President Trump's term.

Quick look into this largely confirms that SpaceX has saved NASA lots of money. I do not see how that is in any way a validation of DOGE.

I will try to find the video at some point today that shows Clinton/Gore and Obama/Biden suggesting something very very similar when it comes to government reduction. It wasn't triggering or upsetting when it was suggested by the top 2 democrats of the past 40 years. But it is triggering and upsetting now that a republican is actually doing it and not just talking about it.

I do think it sucks for the people who are losing their job. But what is it that Biden told the miners to do? Learn to code.

I agree, "this sucks." Oh well, Jon and rest of staff will work thru it. I am wondering about all these rumors. I have talked to some Duke people tonite, and they tell me Boozers are still Duke bound despite the Miami move by Lucas.

I know NOTHING is for certain however. Can anyone shed light on Shelton Henderson (already signed for Duke next year)possibly heading to Miami with Lucas? Also, Foster not playing vs Wake. Could it have been because Jon knows he's headed to the U as well??

All of the above needs to be of concern. Jai is a good recruiter and will be a good coach. Competition is, what it is. Let's stay Faithful and Positive.

I just pray this doesn't affect anything this season, which I don't think it should. This rule is stupid though, the portal and all that should open up AFTER the Final 4 weekend. Miami had to do this now or else they wouldn't have a Head Coach when the portal opens up.

Regardless..Carrawell is the one I never want to lose, and also seems like the assistant that the players are the closest with.

i will have to research, and if true those savings are great, could there be even more if not for waste, fraud, and abuse that is claimed to be in everything else, but not in those?....they should get the same scrutiny, as he is making a lot of money, much deserved, but there could still be issues and so much money being made/spent to be ignored

I hate to see Jai leave especially during the season but I understand with the portal opening in March. The NCAA needs to push this back until after the tournament. Soon you will see bench depth leaving tournament teams similar to college football playoff teams. Let them all finish what they started. It’s unfair to the current teams trying to win a championship.

Hart, where did you hear Henderson could head to Miami? Is it because he went to the same high school? I haven’t heard anything and I think whenever there is a minor change with anything Duke related it brings out any and all rumors.

A very honest,diehard Duke fan and friend, who also formerly worked at Duke. He is my source, but doesn't mean it will happen Slice. We can only hope for the best.
