ACC Standings

Having Soroye and Mikalauskas out hurts us...Scott isn't bad but they don't feed him in the post...seems like they don't have any confidence in him

by the way champ, those huskies took a beat down on saturday. I was wondering if you were still a fan since Roy and Robinson left.

You know I'm a Duke bball fan, but I don't think that'll happen. I'm pretty sure that Duke's shooting and defense have kept them in most games they've played this season, and when they're hot and the tempo's in their favor, they can blow out anybody in the nation.

However--I think they'll get tired (as everyone does) going thru the rest of the ACC schedule and end up with 2-3 losses in conference at least. The only way I see them coming back and being undefeated thru the ACC regular season is if they get Zoubek back here soon and get some great minutes from him on the inside defensively. He would be key to helping solve the inside game weakness that Duke has. I just wish he were more active of a shot blocker. Even then, I think a team like a GT, UNC, Maryland, or Clemson finds them on a cold shooting night, and plays good enough defense to pull a win away from them.

You better watch that first paragraph, the empty trophy case vultures will be out to remind you if that doesnt happen exactly as you say [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

LOL--good thing I didn't say if Chris Loft--er...Jon Scheyer was on that they could blow anyone out... [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

I'm just hoping for 9 wins so I can argue a bit on selection Sunday. Maryland has UVA and GT this week if they can win both of those and be 4-3 through 7 games I think it's possible. They dig a big hole if they lose one of these this weekend.

Nice.

It was a very good game between the treps and duke! Duke is going to have a hard time with teams that have a good big man down low! But I believe they can play with anyone in the country! I take my hat off to Gist! Great player!!! This is a best Duke team in the last 2 to 3 years! Just because of the depth!

Duke would have fits with Georgetown/Memphis/UNC. I really don't see them beating any of those three teams unless they shoot unreal from 3 point land.

Well I see where you are coming from but I don't know all about that! I mean Duke would have a hard time with them all but Duke could beat them! I mean Duke is one of the best teams in the country this year! They have so much depth and the way they can shoot! Plus they have a lot of slasher on the team! Nelson and Smith get to the basket! I like are chances! Plus you never know who is going to be the last couple of teams standing! I still wouldn't coun't out UCLA nor USC!!!
