Official game day thread- Duke vs JMU rnd of 32

[hart2chesson]

Hope I’m not wrong in saying this, but we aren’t Wisconsin, we can run. I know James Madison believes they can win, but I hope Jon has them ready and the boys make a statement today.

You called it my friend Mac!!We aren't Wisky (yeah I took more than a nip today), and Jon had them ultra ready. We had closed practice yesterday, and it paid dividends!! One of the most gratifying performances by a Duke team in postseason play ever!!! Duke exorcized the UT demons from last year!!! Job well done!!!

OFC

I think having Avery on our staff has probably helped. He was a tough guard when he played and I see him interacting with the players alot

Acc 7-0. Still not counting UVA lol

Who’s that? Never heard of her

 

[jamsession2]

Played with an edge...

I wasn’t the only one who thought Duke could take a loss but since you felt the need to bring up my post , you clearly see I say I hope I’m wrong !

There was nothing wrong with your original post Shey. It doesn't matter to him though. All he does is lurk this board for posters that are negative, or say negative things about the team. Then, with cat like reflexes, he takes the opportunity to pounce.

His home board must have ran out of marshmallows around the campfire.

he was a pretty good poster too.. I looked at his recent history here and basically all he’s been posting is the same type of stuff.. weird

It don’t bother me I just get tired of posters coming on here and acting like they picked Duke to win with extreme confidence . I had Duke winning in all my brackets but the one part , for me was you did not know which Duke team was going to show up .

Now had they played like they did Sunday with everyone on the same page and actually looking like they all were having fun then I don’t see us barely taking a loss but you never know with this team .

But Kenny isn't a UNC announcer he works for ESPN. He shouldn't be so biased. Bilas goes too far the other way but at least he is trying to be professional.

Are you referring to Kenny-never won an ACC Tournament or made a Final Four-Smith?

I can't stand Kenny. His "that team from Durham" shtick got old fast.

My brother who is a Unc fan got a mini basketball signed by Kenny. My brother said he isn’t a fan of Kenny because Kenny came off as an arrogant pr***

As opposed to Phil Ford, whom I have met on multiple occasions and who is always delightful.

Some coverage from last night, linked together for your convenience:

Buzzer story.

Notebook on a litany of topics.

Follow-up from today on putting the Tennessee game to rest.

Those are all free stories; here's a column from last night that's for premium subscribers. If I could get on a soapbox for a minute, a premium subscription is worth it if you value objective reporting on Duke. The media contingent covering Duke in Brooklyn was smaller than I expected and I'm of opinion that you can only get strong coverage from people in the building, in the locker room, asking insightful questions, etc.

I'll be in Dallas, too -- booked my flight at about 1:30 a.m. this morning.

He had one foot out the door. Most mid major coaches are looking for the next big paycheck. I can’t blame them, especially since the players are free agents as well. No loyalty anymore.

Yep. FAU coach to Michigan, Utah St coach to Washington, the NC state player entering the portal after winning the ACC... This really is madness.

If wouldn't surprise me in the future to see players transfer in the middle of the season, and play for the next team.

I've been thinking a lot about this. How do you stop a kid from switching schools at Christmas if a higher profile team is willing to rent him for the second semester? There's no rules at this point. We could have picked up a big guy at the holiday break to help out Flip in the second part of the season.

At least coaches sign a contract when they switch schools.

 

[christophero]

He is going to Vanderbilt so he should be used to 30 point beat downs

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Didn't he sign a contract last year with FAU after their tourney run? Or am I getting mixed up with another coach?
