    Man I get what you guys are saying but this was off a steal. Evans had to react and he chased the ball, which went to Alex. Everyone in the building probably figured Alex would shoot it. He’s a shooter. Alex sent the ball back to Braylon and the Duke defenders had their backs to Braylon and had...

    Final 4 mojo

    Cool house. I love old houses, because I build new ones. Where is this?

    Just for clarity, I just reread and I wasn’t calling you out as clueless. Totally didn’t mean to do that. Sorry. It was a very general observation of online commentary. Watch it in real time. People keep commenting about it online while playing it in slow motion. At full speed you see a few...

    How you know we’ve arrived

    And Boston.

    The funny thing about the whole “he should’ve put a hand up crowd” is their lack of understanding of the game at that level. You put a hand up when you are guarding someone in normal territory playing normal defense. Braylon was 40’ out and given how fast that play developed, no one was prepared...

    Luke Murray and BC?

    I was going to suggest English as a potential replacement for Murray but figured I'd save myself the ribbing I'd get here. It seemed far fetched anyway. He's a good offensive coach and a very good recruiter. His team's lack of defense and discipline is concerning. Kellogg is uninspiring...

    Izzo on Hurley

    Izzo is a good man and an entertaining interview. I’ve never understood why people decide they don’t like coaches because they whine, argue, complain, lack graciousness after a loss and express emotion. That’s the whole freakin job. Motivate, push, convince, manipulate, compete. You are trying...

    How you know we’ve arrived

    That’s because a Yankee hat is a “New York” hat. It’s bigger than the Yankees.

    Duke Post Game Thread

    I’ve thought of all of this and it’s true. We probably “should” have fouled before Silas ever got to tip that ball. It was a perfect sequence of events. Just our time. I do think the coaches shook hands. Scheyer headed straight toward Hurley and down the sideline at the end, but the camera...

    B1G Ramblings

    Yes. Big NIL, great facilities and they invested in a very good coach. The fact they hired a guy that Cuse wanted tells you everything you need to know. Besides that, their fans are there in good years and bad. PC will be back in the top 1/4 of the league on the regular.

    B1G Ramblings

    You are all kind of making my point. Nobody even agrees who belongs. I include PC because the school has money, fans and commitment to being good. They are also a regional rival to us, Cuse and BC. Georgetown doesn’t really deserve it but the academics in the ACC would probably want it. They...

    B1G Ramblings

    I don't think people are really against it, they just can't see how it would work. There's too much dead weight in the Big East. The ACC is full of dead weight too, but at least those schools can provide football games for content. I'd love a merger, but when I think about, I realize that...

    This really is the best one because not only did he mean it, but damn has he backed it up.

    Lupica: UConn last Blue Blood standing

    I miss shows like the "Sports Reporters". Things were more relaxing then. The Disney Channel generation seems to need a lot of screaming and arguing on their sports shows. Journalism was great 20+ years ago.
