So duke may win the ACC tournament without their starting point gaurd.

Just saying .... no excuses or what?

And yes I hate duke and I can openly admit I am jealous.

Jealous duke lucked into a good hire, uconn lucked Into a good hire, Florida, Michigan... hell even UNC hired basically a newbie and went to a final four. Self probably retires this year and KU makes a home run hire.


I want to believe, I want to believe all of Popes woes are due to injuries 2 years in a row.

But dukes about to win their tournament without their starting point gaurd. And Michigan is the title favorite in year two of Dusty May.

*** for the doofus, this is a thread that doubles as a jinx thread, but the jinx is ruined because i have to explain that to some of you.***

“Everyone is making good hires but us”

Wonder what the difference is between us and them? Why are these other schools with high expectations getting guys while no one wants to coach for us? Or so claims some of our fans.

I no longer think they are Final 4 bound.. unless they get healthy.

Weird post to make OP when they almost lost last round and down currently.

Post went way over you head. But since Monday nitro and cow town cat only liked your post...we'll that says something. That last part about a jinx thread ...I thought that explained it but whatever.

You are the one from the last duke game thread that didnt get the punchline of the scoring jinx thread and had to have it explained to you. But I dont think you are that stupid... nice trolling

Mitch Barnhart and some corrupt crap behind the scenes in UK athletics... I have no idea how one guy had so much power to make the coaching hire for arguably the most historic program of all time and for a 2nd time make a huge blunder.

I guarantee Kansas does just like duke and their next hire just takes over where self left off Like Scheyer has at duke.

Alot of it is how crippled we appear to be in recruiting..maybe thats pope maybe thats JMI...who knows but it needs fixed.

I fear nothing is going to get fixed if Mitch has his way and we end up with his disciples as AD. Even worse if it’s that wife of the JMI executive.

Virginia gave that to them. I’d bet everything I have they don’t make it past the Sweet 16. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the 8/9 beat them opening weekend. We will see.

Duke just beat the 10th ranked team while winning the ACC title all without their starting PG while we get to watch our former coach play for the SEC title from home. You’re coping.

Boozer is just as good as Foster, or close enough. Our issue was Acaden leaving. We should have signed a senior point guard out of the portal for a year and we would have kept Lewis. That was the plan. But Mark whiffed on them.

Well coached or just more talented than everyone else(Answer: the latter)

Scheyer, for the 2nd season in a row, has the most talented team in the nation. Let me know when he actually coaches his team to a Natty.


As for Virginia. 10th :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: . GMAFB

Best non-conference win: Texas
Best conference win: Miami/Louisville without Mikel Brown

Brother it was Virginia. I watch a ton of basketball, Duke was a top 6 team before the injury. After and down a PG and having to player Boozer lite so much they are not top 10 anymore. That’s obvious to anyone. You’ll see in the tournament. It won’t be the ACC anymore.

How about Point guard and highest rated NBA talent. So to be more apples to apples they would have to lose their point guard and Cam Boozer and still win it.

Duke was without two starters is what they just said. I dont follow duke well enough to even know the two players by name, but I believe the broadcaster.

Good coaching and lots of talent overcomes alot.

Bad coaching and not much talent to start with, doesnt overcome much.
