last night they flat out out hustled BC. The one thing that I love about Duke whether its through the years or even on this little stretch is that the team will never not hustle. You gotta respect the Dukies and Coach K for that aspect of their games. I know there are probably a lot of Duke hates in this board, but I'm just too sooked after this big W to care right now lol.

I like Duke Basketball a great deal. My second favorite team after the Irish.

But watching Paulus and McRoberts play makes me want to scratch my own eyeballs out sometimes so I don't have to look.

Thankfully my remote has batteries in it.

That Henderson kid is going to be great.

They rarely ever have bangers down low and are thus a poor rebounding team. Eric Boateng transferring to Arizona State stung. I hope they land Patrick Patterson from West Virginia, but I think he'll go to Kentucky.

sorry dudes, I'm a NC Tarheel basketball fan (it goes back a ways to my uncle playing ball there for Dean Smith), but Duke did play a good game last night and needed that win badly.

I find hilarious that the "experts" are willing to say Coach K has lost his mojo because Duke is having a somewhat down year. Unbelievable to me how quickly sports writers are willing to tear someone and/or a team down when they go on a losing streak like Duke did. They'll be back, and who knows, they could be a very dangerous team next month in the tourne. They'll make the tourne, March Madness without Duke wouldn't be right, and I hate saying that, but its true.

To be honest I hate both Duke and UNC. I am a one school kind of guy. I never went to ND but I cheer for all their sports far above any other university. It's nice that they have 5 solid mens programs and I will even pull for the ladies (even though I have know idea who most of them are). It surprises me that not that many people cheer for ND in other sports or consider ND basketball etc.. their favorite team.

I would say pretty good. They have been in this position before a few years ago and ended up losing a lot down the stretch and didn't make the tourney. I would hate to see them do that again but I wouldn't be surprised.

saw some of the so called "experts" have them at a 8 or 9 seed. Not a bad position to be in considering.

Hopefully they close out the year hot and have a good showing in the conference tourne and improve on that seeding. I would say right now, they have a good shot. Have to get back on track though.

Agree on almost everything here. Paulus needs to stop forcing passes, and let the game come to him. Henderson needs to learn to play some defense, and Coach K needs to put Marty Pocius in the game more, and I am sick and tired of people pronouncing his name wrong lol. It's pronounced po-shus, not pot-zeus like dick vitale pronounces it.
