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

[jibsey]

Duke a bubble team? Would a .500 league finish get that done?

I can't stand Coach K. He comes off as a real snot to me.

They may be lucky to get to .500. Look at their Feb slate. They really needed the past two games, IMO.

They'll still get a protected seed in the east. It's their birthright.

Agreed. Duke could go 18-13 and still be in the tournament!

If Duke ended up 8-10 in the league it would get it done.

He does not like hates to lose and handled it without class. Not defending him, but he looked shell shocked after that last play, which probably brought back memories of Rashamel Jones.

Calhoun was similar but always handled it with class, until he met the media, then the gloves came off. Hating to lose is a trait that great coaches/players have. As for our Coach I just don't want him to get used to losing and of course develop that trait as well.

K looked like the real pompous a** he is not shaking the hands of Roberson and Richardson a couple of kids who just throttled his guys. It was classless especially after hearing from the announcers the he loves Jim Boeheim and he "loves Jim B's family and he knows Jim B loves his family". Sorry just wasn't ready for that tidbit during the game.

Reality is the first call on the rebound that pi**ed him off was a free ball and big collision - good no call but one he normally gets. Last one was the heave form the other foul line, although Cooney and the other defender were both stupid as hell even being near the Dukie as there was contact and a foul could have been called.

On another note the new Dukie I just can't look at is Kennard. Kid has never seen a shot he doesn't like, always has a puss on his face like he is owed something. He belongs at Duke no doubt just watch him. And Sean Obi may have made an error unless academics is more important and that's fine, but if its basketball he wanted to play the decision has backfired thus far.

Obi's first school was Rice. Academics have to be huge for him.

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?

There's one record of JC's the Picker will never surpass - NCs

He won't even tie Tyler Olander. Forget JC
