    ***DUKE VS WAKE FOREST OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    Thornton really struggled against Pitt but he made some timely plays last night and his defense has been a big asset (ask J. Berry).

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

    Got to admit I agree. It was a stupid thing to do and he shouldn't do it again, but FSU was being ridiculous and trying to get a steal and basket with 4 seconds left when Jones is just trying to run out the clock. Glad the media and Duke haters though are getting to enjoy their collective...

    Jay Williams wants Grayson to sit

    Media playbook: 1. You should hate X Duke player. 2. Watch and analyze every move and gesture of X player. 3. Find a mistake and get OUTRAGED! 4. Get page views/clicks. 5. Write articles that Coach K isn't doing "enough" to make it right. 6. Get even more page views/clicks.

    ESPN/Grayson

    I just visited cbssports.com, si.com and espn.com. Only espn had the Allen trip mentioned as not only a top basketball story, but a top sports story. I get my sports news from sites other than ESPN and encourage others to do the same. There is zero journalism at ESPN.

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

    Its not ok to trip someone intentionally or make a habit of it, but lets calm down a bit. I bet the coaches will handle it.

    Are we sure the crazies weren't chatting "how's your grandma"?

    ACC Awards...Season is a wrap!!!...22-9 (11-7)

    I think Damian Lee will get on the first team. Great player on one of the best teams in the conference. Also there is the factor of media sympathy for Lee.

    What a sick and sad little man...

    So he uses timeouts when up by double digits but not in one possession games? By all means Roy, don't change your timeout strategy.

    Where do YOU want to be seeded

    I think the made for TV matchup is going to be us with Maryland in the sweet sixteen. The committee/networks probably already have that part of the bracket filled in. I agree with aah that this year is going to be on the blue bloods and elite coaches having deep runs, so I want to avoid...

    ***DUKE VS LOUISVILLE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    I don't see any Duke or Grayson haters talking about how Damion Lee got in Grayson's face to talk trash after making a three pointer in the second half. Instead we just praise for what a great kid Damion Lee is. Pretty sure Grayson doesn't get in anyone's face after he makes a shot.

    Matt Jones ankle

    One of the walk on guards is going to have to play spot minutes or maybe Devon Edwards can play a few games?

    Good Game

    Its coaching. A big piece of K's offense is generating open 3's through ball movement or drive and kick out. UNC just doesn't do that. In games where UNC makes 3's, its generally more to do with a defensive lapse or the defense just giving them wide open looks to protect the paint. This UNC...

    Final Four?

    Only willing to pick two at this point, OU and Maryland. Hield and Trimble can just take over and win a game in crunch time.

    Roy Collapses on Sideline

    Seeing Roy and K struggle with illnesses this year makes me respect these guys a lot more to continue fight through older age and any medical issues to coach their teams. They really love what they do and its a grueling profession.

    ESPN: Is Grayson Allen the next hated white Duke player?

    Yep, this is complete trash and click bait aimed for Duke haters. I don't even think opposing fans are generally cheering against Allen (or at least not showing the level of hate so far that other players have received). ESPN is now encouraging fans to hate players, which is inexcusable.
