Again, Duke in the Big East

[Fishy]

They're about an 11-7, 10-8 type of team.

As soon as they start getting bumped, they start getting uncomfortable. And Austin Rivers is not going to have games here where he takes more free throws than the other team does combined.

And as for VaTech, egad. Dorian Finney-Smith shoots 2-12 from the field and 1-8 from the free throw line in an overtime loss.

Dook shoots more free throws then their opponents?? Shocking

Puke makes more FT's than their opponents even attempt.

if dukes campus was in Tampa and not NC, it would be beautiful.

 

[Adios]

In other words, the ACC is overrated in football AND basketball?!

pretty sure we have been doing that a lot the last few years as well.

Duke is not in the Big East, nor will they ever be in the Big East.

All these "what if" threads are pointless.

So is pretty much everything on a message board, when you put it that way. It's not as if any of our advice or insights are going to change the coaching staff's mind. We post because we find it interesting.

And the point of this counterfactual is to contrast the ACC style of play and depth with that of the BE. Seems reasonable.

I can't fathom how this would be lost on anyone reading Fishy's post.
