OT: Syracuse vs Duke A Real Up And Coming Rival Or Just Overhyped?

[Tommyboy]

Holy crap these teams are just chucking threes.

Thing is I keep flipping back and forth who I want to win. Hate 'Cuse but our 3 pt loss looks better the more they win and it's always great to see Duke lose, esp at home. Then again it's 'Cuse...f'em both.

Word is Coach Ks back is starting to hurt again...

How many steps did Plumlee take with 31 seconds left

 

[Robertelamin]

Wasn't that a foul at the end?

That Duke crowd was annoying all game. Happy that they get to go home with a loss. Boeheim also repassed Calhoun on the all-time win list, but who really cares?

Bohiem also has a fake championship

The default is always what's better for UConn. We played Cuse, and Cuse results affect our RPI, so Cuse it is.

On duke, yes

Plumlee had a great game but I had him down for 12 fouls. Dude is like a hockey goon on the court, he's the definition of a bull in a china shop. Duke is missing Amile Jefferson like we're missing Brimah.

Not a bad game to watch although ugly at times.

Plumlee is really good considering the stiff he was as a freshman and sophomore. Happy to see a Duke transfer actually help the Orange win at Duke, he's a good player anyway and never got a sniff from K. Roberson is a man among boys on the offensive boards (D too but the o-reb's were huge), just a great nose and knock for the ball.

Last but definitely not least, K missed shaking most of the kids hands from Cuse as he was more worried about getting to the refs. Imagine he didn't get the calls and he's whining? Love it. Man I hate seeing Syracuse win except when it quiets that crowd.

 

[Connecticut]

LOL, Coach K looked pissed. Just walked past half of the whole 'Cuse team without acknowledging them.

Do voters have the spine to drop Dook out of the Top 25 after losing 3 straight vs. unranked teams? God forbid they hurt the feeling of the almighty holy grail ratface of head coaching!

 

[Jaker]

I like Malachi, kid is a real nice player

They really have to don't they? It will be close but I think they move to "others receiving votes".

Watched it again and again I thought so too but it wasn't a travel. Nice play as much as I hate to say it.

When is jefferson back, cause dook may not win a game until he returns.

Clearly wasn't a travel, he caught it out of bounds and then travelled before he dunked it on an earlier play though and jumped over and ran into guys backs about 8 times.

Yeah maybe but I wish we had him.

So excited for NC St game this weekend. It's at NC state and they aren't ranked. Would love to see them treat this like a championship game. Duke losing 4 in a row to unranked teams is better than ice cream.

Well if they win against perenial powerhouse NCState, I dunno how any objective voter could keep them outside the top 15.

It's overhyped for sure. It's funny how ND can go 4-1 against Duke since joining the ACC but keeps losing to Syracuse, Pitt, etc. We should be in that league. Screw Syracuse.
