    Uh Oh in UNC land

    This kid looks really good as long as there is no expectation of him actually passing the ball or playing a lick of defense. Combine that with Hubie still being the coach and team chemistry should be fun to observe............for the opposing teams. I see 2 story lines to watch for next...

    Let's be honest, Mal is a top 10 pick based purely on potential, not because he was a great player while he was at Duke. He only played 21 minutes a game for a reason.

    Hafta say I agree with Chris. He's a big athlete that can crash the boards, block shots and has fouls to give. I wouldn't take anything away from his year at OSU because no one on that team improved throughout the year. In fact, they all regressed individually and played selfish ball. Get...

    Hope UT starts pumping him full of roids immediately because he can't play Barnes' preferred style of ball with his frame and current game.

    NCST throwing money around after hiring a new coach isn't surprising. Happens every time a new coach is hired in basketball and football. Everyone wants to make a big splash with the new regime. The ability to sustain that level of commitment, financially and otherwise, is what separates the...

    I now have an image to put to gary's face when I read his tripe.

    Duke's players aren't sitting out practices to force a new deal. Watched this kid a couple times last year, tremendous physical ability but needs all the reps he can get. He's hurting himself and his team by making this an issue now and handling it this way.

    Tennessee knew who they were dealing with with him and his family when they bought him in the first place. This should be no surprise to them or anyone else. Not always the best option to buy the top talent available. Culture matters.

    Off-season thoughts

    "Stupid" and "State" or "Cheat" fans go hand in hand. Not sure one can put together a sentence with one and not the other.

    Always love the line "we don't have a choice". Actually, you have more choices available to you than most people. I've got zero prob with anyone going pro, but "we don't have a choice" is right up there with "it's not about the money". It's always about the money and only about the money...

    2024-2025 Duke Blue Devils

    Not sure what is more shocking, Mal being -20 in his 21 minutes of burn or the fact that he hauled in zero rebounds. Doesn't even seem possible.

    Official game day thread- THE final four- Duke vs Houston

    Undoubtedly mandatory, but you can't make a kid actually lift if he/she doesn't want to. As I saw when I was in school, some guys would show up as required but would just hang out and talk the whole time.

    Official game day thread- THE final four- Duke vs Houston

    Meh, there are always going to be dipshit's that are going to write ridiculous stuff to get hits and pander to the anti-Duke crowd. Case in point, on CBS sports some idiot titled his piece "Duke's Agony: Predictable flaws finally surface, lead to final four demise". Absurd and not even worth...

    Official game day thread- THE final four- Duke vs Houston

    Proctor is a talented player, but the one thing that has spoken volumes to me about his desire to be great is this: His one glaring weakness as a freshman was he needed to spend time in the weight room and get stronger. He clearly hasn't done much, if anything, to address that weakness. I'm...

    Houston is far from a bad FT shooting team. Even though Duke is better, I wouldn't hang my hat on them not making theirs.
