    Focus on the positives

    I’m hoping a few of the guys return. If we are fortunate enough to have a couple of the guys return with whats coming in, next season looks promising. Bummed about tonite but gotta find some positive.

    ***DUKE VS FLORIDA STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    Just leaving the game. My observations from sitting behind the FSU bench- FSU didn’t play as well against the 2-3 Zone. Not sure why K went to man on the last play of regulation. Also not sure why he didn’t use the final time out. Guess that’s why he is the coach and I’m just a fan.

    FSU/Duke game....

    Been a Duke fan since 1989. Lived in Wake Forest back in late 90’s and now live in the Panhandle of Florida. Will attend my first Duke game ever this Tuesday at FSU. Super pumped. I coach HS basketball near Destin and had the opportunity to meet most of the FSU team this past summer. They are...

    Who's the best high-school basketball player you've seen play in person?

    I was a coach in Cincinnati back in the day and our team played against OJ Mayo and Bill Walker when that played at North College Hill. They beat us by 57.

    ***DUKE VS NORTH CAROLINA OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    2001 Big Man Carlos Boozer injured in Maryland Game- Duke wins it all. 2015 Big man Jahlil Okafor injured in Carolina game- Duke wins it all. 2019 Zion injured in Carolina game- ....... Here’s to hoping.

    Some ortho doctor just tweeted by looking at the shoes he suspects MCL sprain. Hoping he is correct.

    That is exactly what I was thinking.

    Jared Prickett

    I saw Prickett as a freshman play in a preseason game at Memorial Coliseum. I loved how hard he played that night and he quickly became my favorite player. He had 15 or 16 rebounds that night. Had he been healthy his junior year UK has one more natty.

    Duke Fan Coming In Peace

    As a fellow Duke fan who also is a UK fan (you can be both and it’s a long story as to how i am both) UK will be fine. It was a terrible game by the Cats and a great game by Duke. As someone once said its never as good nor as bad as you think. Kentucky will play better and Duke I’m sure will...

    Where to go from here

    Only 2 times since 2000 has the ACC tourney winner gone on to win Natty. 2001 Duke team and 2010 Duke team. History shows that ACC winner usually doesn’t win Natty. I’m good with team getting extra day or so to get healed up.

    "They Hate Each Other."

    Well it's not the first time I've posted on y'alls board just the first time with this handle but I get you. Funny thing is I grew up when Pelphrey, Feldhaus, Farmer and crew were tearing it up. Played basketball at Monticello and wore Jamal mashburns number. I was a small kid the first time I...

    "They Hate Each Other."

    Guys hear me out. Grew up in Kentucky as a Duke fan. I cheered for the wildcats as long as they were not playing Duke. It was hard to go to school the next week after Laettner hit the shot. I have nothing but respect for y'alls program and have attended far more uk games than any other teams...

    Bolden trending for Duke

    Please do not use logic with UK fans. They can't comprehend it. Logically speaking Duke would send Obi (who is a post player) packing if they needed to free up a scholly for another post player, not run off the only point guard on the roster. But hey, Kentucky fans are genius so perhaps they do...

    Tyus Scheduling Agent Meetings

    I liken the decision Tyus has with Jay Williams to a certain degree. As a sophomore Williams won the National Championship, won the NABC player of the year award and could have easily been a top 5 draft pick. As we know Williams came back for his junior year and had just as impressive year...

    ***DUKE VS SYRACUSE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    This maybe has already been touched on but why is Jefferson not playing? I figure it a matchup issue with the zone d but didn't know if there was another reason This post was edited on 2/28 8:35 PM by Geoff4jc
