Down goes Duke

Yeah that’s happened many times without a technical called.

No matter Duke lost the day gets better and better. Looks like they tripped over themselves.

Noooooo…..that one is a technical foul.

He was up there for like three seconds for some reason. He had enough time to commit the technical foul and basket interference while he was there.
 
Some Duke fans on their board are saying they've lost interest in Duke basketball and the NCAA tournament because of NIL. Duke has too much money to pay kids and the players are no longer interested and it creates disharmony.

They're not coping well under Scheyer.

And they are literally getting the exact same kind of kid now than they were before NIL when all they had to do was things like making Chris Duhon’s mom CEO of IBM or something.
 
I call bull dinky on Danny wanting to coach Duke
Tried finding it cannot find but i am 99.9% sure he said it. It wasnt a long discussion but he mentioned it. I cant be the only person here who saw it so hopefully someone here backs me and has the quote.

You actually might be. I've never heard it before.
 
There were a handful of jobs Hurley always said he could see himself aspiring to have. Duke is one of them, but so is his current employer. And, he’s not trying to collect them all, just wants to be comfortable and win.

As for all the NIL and transfer stuff- I find that a lot of people hate it and complain about it the most when their team loses and tend to tolerate/embrace it when their team is good. Lose to NC State? I hate the state of college athletics and, frankly, couldn’t care less. Win a championship? Clearly, the sport has reached its final and perfect form.

UNC was another one, which is just a way funnier story line.
 
Honestly I don't see them that high. They were not impressive this year. They moved up by the name.
The metrics have them in the 3-4 range. I really don’t understand what separates them from the middle-of-the-road garbage (at best) clogging up the ACC standings other than they’ve lost to the second fewest number of ACC garbage teams after UNC. They’ve beaten a suspect Baylor team and that’s their resume.

Duke no game today!!!

I know they won the ACC tournament last year, but the 2nd round exit from the 23 NCAA tournament, followed by this years first game exit in the ACC Tourney has to put some pressure on Scheyer. If they go out early in the NCAA again people will not be happy.

Right now his postseason record is 4-2 overall and 4-3 or 5-3 will not cut it. Add in his record against UNC which is 2-2 and opinions can change quickly.

I remember Geno was asked if he would take the UConn mens program after JC retired. He said something to the ilk of "that would ruin both programs, the only men's team I would coach is Duke". Maybe that's what you were thinking of?
 
The dookies are down on Scheyer on their board. Literally most of them don't think he's the right guy.

That's a tough place to be as a fan. I remember the fans feeling similar about KO, but KO actually won a title.
 
“Alright guys, we all agree we’re pampered, overentitled, and overrated, right? Great- good meeting. Let’s get out there and continue underperforming!”
