Is this another "team of the century" year for Duke?!

[uconngb]

Oh just stop. We are in a 3 bid conference. The ACC is projected to get 8 or 9. After the top 4 the NewBE will be lucky to have a team over .500. We have the worst SOS of the 1 or 2 seeds despite playing a brutal non-conference schedule. Any if the top half of the ACC would finish in the top 3 in the NBE I suspect.

When did I say anything about the Big East? I was talking about one of the so called P4 conferences.

Scheyer isn't bringing the Cooper Flaggs, Kon Knuepels and Boozers of the world Duke is. He's just enjoying the ride

You may be right but I know I'd pay dearly to see Duke play Seton Hall in a 1 v 16 game - wouldn't you?

Scheyer is becoming a really good coach. Some here hate to admit that. But imo even if Duke wins it all, I don’t think they are as good as UConn 24. So team of the Century - No

No. Not unless they’re using big east refs.

what do you base your opinion on?

Boozer better than Flagg…,.,just when I think he can’t out-nitwit himself, he lowers the bar even further

It's called recency bias. He has the strongest case of it I've ever seen.

 

[SportsFan88]

Saying boozer was better than Flagg in college is CRAZYYYYY

Again, look at their numbers. Flagg was 17. Boozer is a man.

Someone tell me what made Flagg a better college player, with some numbers behind it. I don’t need subjectivity of this boards “experts”. Like the ignoramus uconngb.
A guy who uses names before forming a counter, because he doesn’t like an opinion on a thread discussing Duke.

So since Boozer is older, that makes him better. Well, you did again!! You managed to out-dumb yourself one more time.

Go post on the Dook board since you are such a fan. Or Michigan. Or Arizona. Dammit, which team is it this week?

So hard to keep track of all your crushes.......we all just know that it isn't UConn.

Congrats scheyer, u have 6 mcdaa’s on your team. U shud be in top 5. Let’s see what happens when tourney starts. Houston choke job comes to mind from last year.

which piece, exactly? reibe and smith have generally proven to be pretty big downgrades from the starters as the season has worn on and seen few minutes.

Ross and Stewart have been good pieces, but inconsistent.

I'm not suggesting duke is loaded on the bench or anything, but our depth hasn't exactly been what's carried us in conference play.

We are a better team when the 4 bench guys (Stewart, Ross, Smith, and Reibe) get minutes and are allowed to play through their challenges. The depth has helped during the out of conference slate and it showed up well the last 3 games after Hurley admitted to not giving them their minutes.

 

[TroyHall98]

You think our depth is an advantage? We rank 280th in the country in bench points. I am not being anti, but when we blindly call things advantages in sizing up the field, really need some substance behind it.

Did you watch the last 3 games or any of the out of conference games? It’s hard to score points when the coach admits to making a mistake in not giving them minutes. More importantly, their impact is not always points (e.g. Ross and Stewart’s defense) so the stat you quoted is misleading.

And I’m saying the ACC is much better than the New Big East. Yeah, the bottom of the league stinks but so does the bottom of the NBE. In fact the middle of the league is not very good either. Without UConn it is a mid-major. And the NBE wants to be considered a Power league in basketball.

 

[bendm]

Do we?

Who does? Do you like AZ or Houston?

Demary is a championship level G. Tier above Foster, Cadeau and Lee. Bradley and Burries are chip level Gs too. Houston has good Gs it’s their bigs that are the problem.

Great….i never said anything about the Big East. Good for you.
