Duke’s starting PG out with a foot injury

[RuffRuff]

These are college kids at the end of the day. I feel bad for any of them who work hard and then lose the opportunity to play in the tournament or have their chances impacted by injury. Even Duke kids.

To wish injury on anyone is low, even your biggest rival.

rivals, sure. but toolbags? That's just karma. For instance, if Fears were to roll an ankle and be done for the year? Karma.

As soon as you go over the line of making dangerous and unsporting plays on the court, you lose all respect from me.

Rumor is they will add a 4th ref to help alleviate the injury bug.

In all seriousness they have other players on that roster that are ranked high enough to impact this team despite less playing time. Let’s see how he can coach now, they’re still very good.

I don't really have anything against the Duke players (except for the resident cheaters who roll through every few years like Filipowski and Allen), but I truly couldn't care less about the feelings of their fans. How will the fans cope if Duke, the Yankees, the Cowboys, and the Lakers all play badly the same year?

Never wish harm - seriously even if you din’t believe in karma it’s bad form.

When Houston lost JS in a tourney game that was devastating and many felt for them.

This is Duke so I get it - no one enjoys a Duke loss more than yours truly - but not from injury.

I don't wish physical ill of just about any player maybe with the exception of Grayson Allen back when because I thought he may end up ending a season for an opposing player with his antics and dirty play. Even then it wasn't so much wish him ill but thinking I hope he's the one who gets hurt if his behavior got anyone seriously hurt. Maybe it would change him.

I do however actively root for Duke to fail in games. Of course, some comes with the UConn/Duke history, but a lot has to do with their fans and how some of their behavior was glossed over for the most part. The chants when Juan Dixon was at Maryland and playing in Cameron were disgusting. There have been a few other players who heard things from the student section that should have not been tolerated. But that's not the players. Like others have said. If their paths should cross, I would like to see UConn beat a healthy team.

I heard that most Duke fans root for the Red Sox these days.

I don't like seeing a team's title chances derailed due to injuries.

We all remember how it felt watching Jerome Dyson go down with a injury!

We were the best team until that Feb injury to Dyson.
