Duke v. Carolina…

[UCTitleTown]

No defense played by either team

They leave each other open and dare them to make it. That's not defense.

 

[Chin Diesel]

They are calling Davis for a hook and hold on Flip. LOL. Flip was doing the holding!

Davis' left hand was grabbing and pulling on Filipowski's forearm.

It was the correct call.

 

[Mr. French]

Always good to see.

Dook is highly overrated. But UNC looks tougher than earlier in the season

We just might see them again in March (or April).

agree, it was after they chose to show a different angle of the play that I saw that the call was correct.

His own man hit him in the face... And Davis hooked his arm

Davis hooked his arm because he was pulling him down with his arm while trying to box him out. The eye was from the cheap shot prior he gave him with the arm across the face after the whistle.

No defense played by either team

UNC is a little tougher than Duke but in a tourney dogfight neither seems ready. Lots of open space I agree.

ACC is just a really bad league currently

 

[EnochRoot]

Carolina’s loss to Georgia Tech this week is a reminder that they’re a very beatable squad.

 

[huskyharry]

Filipowski plays an unusual game: very physical on offense but basically stands there with his arms straight up on defense…doesn’t pick up fouls that way but also does little to stop the opposing team from scoring either

 

[AtlantaHusky]

Dook has some pro talent. They are soft. It's a brotherhood tradition. I hope they are in our bracket.

 

[tzznandrew]

does a duke lose drop them in the AP poll or move them up?

No that will happen when they lose

This joke is lame at this point. The polls have been perfectly fair regarding Duke. They're going to drop in the polls to like 10 or 11.

Why is this still a meme when it hasn't been remotely true or funny in like 10 years?

 

[tzznandrew]

UNC gives up 82 pts (so far) and Bilas says they play elite defense....

They're 7th in KenPom. Seems elite.

What was the pace? Does UConn play elite defense? They gave up 81 to Butler.

 

[uh-no]

I’m cool with Scheyer staying forever.

contrast the lookin they had to his huddle vs hurley. night and day.

In fairness, Duke is the worst.

Can't even hate Duke these days, they just aren't worth it. Scheyer ain't it man.

Honestly if I'm an NBA team I'm not sure I draft anyone but Flip and that would be late first at best (in a normal draft, this one may be historically weak). I wonder who leaves from that team at end of year.

UConn plays elite D with clingan in the line up, he did not play against Butler.

Duke has 3 really bad losses and only 1 quality win (a neutral game against Baylor. They were over ranked in the top 10 because they werent penalized enough for those bad losses by the pollsters. The joke is lame, but duke is overrated.

Isn’t that what people have been saying DC needs to do?

 

[jibsey]

Duke loses, they should move from 7 to 4?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Duke is scary good if we’re being honest. Scheyer’s calm yet stoic demeanor sitting on the bench exudes confidence. Duke’s unrelenting will to achieve excellence is something we should all strive for. Going into a hostile environment and exerting your will on your opening is quite impressive. I’m almost speechless of this awe and amazement.

I think you're on to something re Scheyer. He's playing the long game with the basic strategy of giving other schools a false sense of security.

 

[uconndogs]

Neither of those teams plays the defense UCONN does. Duke can't even get up and down the floor very well and they will struggle against teams that can.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Scheyer is using the Okey-Doke strategy. Creating a false sense of security for his opponents will definitely pay off in the tourney. I wouldn’t want to be in Duke’s bracket.

Scary Good? They have played 3 ranked teams and lost 2 of them, Scheyer can’t coach, they lack effort, seem lazy…I don’t see scary brother.
