OT: BB: Duke Starting PG broken foot
- Thread starter TheResistance
- Start date
I can’t believe it. Doesn’t compute.
I mean, injuries shouldnt matter. Im sure they will do just fine with him out and Ngongba sidelined as well.
watch what happens when a Team loses its pg
I hate Duke so this doesn't upset me.
Hope he heals well.
Hope he heals well.
I’m sure he’ll be ready for round 1 after he miraculously heals.
Sucks for the kid but anything bad happening to Duke is absolute win to me.
Referees just received the text to go into Duke overdrive.
Courts ruled Scheyer can play so not a big loss
Nowhere near as bad as our players with fatigue!!!!
I bet they still play hard. I bet they still have a game plan.
Only at UK is it excusable to just quit once there’s an injury.
And I bet they won’t lose to teams less talented than them and blame it on injury.
That’s reserved for popettes.
Because Duke has never lost to teams less talented than them (It happens just about every tournament). PDS is a digusting disesae. Causes blindness at minimum.
Starting pg out. Let’s see if they drop to 9th worst team in the ACC
Right. I think it was last week I seen on here this NEVER happens to puke.
he’s actually already healed since that was posted. At full strength and motivated to return after missing zero games.
Not sure that it’ll affect Duke in the first couple games, but I think it could by game 3.
The committee just hired 5 more people for bracket construction to negate the unfortunate situation.

But wait, they have a backup PG (Cayden Boozer). Must be nice to have depth at such an important position!
They will simply re-load with Boozer #2, who has played with Boozer #1 since they were in the womb together
Am I the only one this thread that's going to admit that this is news that made every college coach outside of Durham a bit more relieved this morning?
Amazing how the top story on ESPN right now is that Duke's 4th leading scorer (8.5 ppg) is out with a foot injury. Any other team, blue bloods included, losing their 4th leading scorer would not even make the ESPN.com main page.
To compare the ACC to the SEC shows you need to quit posting btw who won the ACC vs SEC challenge last couple years
Well, for some who’ve been desperate and even whiny to see Duke have players get hurt. They finally got their wish.
Once or twice a year is different than once or twice a week.
Don’t take it so literall. Also don’t overate the sec man. It was amazing last year yes.
But Duke has a backup that is actually a true point guard! Shocking! I didn’t know that was allowed.
Pretty sure they just beat the **** out of UNC with Foster only playing like 10 minutes. They’re probably still elite eight good at least. Boozer will be fine.
LOL! UK plays for the tournament!! (Duke gets a pass for all their failures). Some of you are like 2 year olds.
The Fatigue comment was so dumb of Pope.. but we do have 3 of our top7 out. Injuries DO matter, and I see no way Duke wins a title without their starting PG and Ngongba hobbled as well.
Really had nothing to do with the ACC. More less UK having the injury excuse and being 9th in the sec.
Part of that was UNC's best player was also out for the year.
There's a chance that we don't see a single traditional Blue Blood in the 2nd weekend of the tournament.
Yeah, but Duke was also down two starters in that game Saturday. Carolina was without Wilson for 6 games heading into the Duke rematch so they’ve had time to adjust. 5-1 without Wilson prior to Saturday. (Now 5-2)
Probably the best thing for Duke is to have a short stay in the ACC tournament to get people rested, but I’m sure they’ll go all out to try and win it with seven players.
I’d be absolutely shocked by that. Let’s hope there’s only one and it’s UK. That would be amazing really.
Wait...They beat UNC essentially w/o their PG and starting PF? Two starters? Out? And they still beat a ranked team? Weird.
Got to meet Caleb at Oak Hill when my nephew was on staff there and supervised the players and lived in their dorm house. At the time he had already committed to Duke and was hanging out in my nephews apartment and I tried to induce him to change his commitment to us by bribing him with some blueberry pies from the local country store (the only thing down there for miles). He said, "Naw I'm good", which was fine by me cause those pies are amazing!
