Syracuse Wins @ Duke

Refs did everything they could to take that from the Orange. Chukwu and Battle huge, Hughes too. Jones blew his shoulder out I think. Jay Bilas is no longer likable it’s painful listening to him about Duke. Never been so damn happy for an Orange win love it.

Cuse vs. Duke is a no brainer for me. I have some connection to both, more to SU. Duke and ND are tied in my “hope they never win anything” book.
 
I'm not going to laugh at an old man for pissing himself considering his past. There is plenty you can make fun of in regards to the cuse without that low blow, not gonna stoop to that level and no one should, especially considering the guys history with cancer which everyone should be aware of at this point.


PS: nose picker. 4 to 1.

Couldn't of said it any better Mau. I don't claim to be a subject matter expert, but some of those calls had me scratching my head. It wasn't Syracuse fault Duke couldn't buy a three. It doesn't who was out of Dukes's lineup. It was at Duke. Big change in Bilas over the years.

This is a chief level response to straight up making things up. You’re better than this.

This is pretty significant. Duke looked like a completely different team after he went down, especially on defense
 
So are we just ignoring the Wake Forest blowout at home now?

It's just amazing that K doesn't have a capable back-up PG - when Jones went out, there was nobody who could handle the PG duties with any decent level of efficiency
This is a huge loss (Jones) for them - GOOD
Now Cuse can lose the rest of their games

Because Jones is one of the best if not the best Pure PG's in the country and is likely the second most important player on Duke after Zion.

Well they scored 91 points. It was their D that let them down.

It was in a newspaper a few years ago--2nd time around for UConn, in competition with Louisville.

You're right I remember now. It was an either/or regarding UConn and Louisville I think. For the record though, we all know it was BC that was leading the anti-UConn charge.

Personally, I hate you guys but the ACC is the only logical place for UConn. I hope eventually you get there (if thats where you want to go) and we can get to play each other in-league every year again. Was a great rivalry with great games.

i used to hate duke more than anything, especially during the 2000s with guys like reddick, scheyer and paulus etc. Beating them in 2004 was the real chip that year.

but you REALLY REALLY need to understand something... Syracuse. DESTROYED. THE. BIG. EAST!!!! as far as i'm concerned it's their fault we are stuck in the aac right now.

if Syracuse had a single shred of honor they would have stayed strong with their big east brothers. they were a founding member of the conference we all loved so much but were blinded by greed. they abandoned us knowing it would doom the conference.

as soon as they left pitt, wvu, and louisville all followed. if Syracuse had been loyal to anything other than money, we could have kept the big east alive. they were the straw that broke the camel's back.

duke never did anything to damage our program, either directly or indirectly. Syracuse deserves every UConn fans' complete and undivided righteous hatred.

and you can go eat toothpaste @Orange87

PS- i don't wanna hear anything about BC, miami or VT. the conference was better than ever in the late 2000's and they were all long gone.

Dude, thats fine if you want to blame Syracuse, but your own Hall of Fame coach knows who the REAL culprit was when it came down to the destruction of the Big East.

Geno blames Notre Dame for Big East woes

And I'll pass on the toothpaste thanks.
 
there's a difference between avoiding a result and directly causing a result. we were just fine without having their football program in the conference, just like the ACC will be fine without it, so rest easy.

Does Boeheim care at all what he says any more? His comment on Zion Williamson after the game:

“He’s like Charles Barkley was except he shoots better than Charles and he’s not as fat.”

That'll go over well.

I rest very easy thank you, but the Big East was obviously NOT fine without ND and that's why it ultimately fell apart. As Geno said, if ND had come in as a football member no school would have left. A football conference of Notre Dame, Miami, Pittsburgh, Boston College, West Virginia, Syracuse, Va. Tech, etc. would have rivaled any other P5 conference.

Again, you can blame Syracuse if it makes you feel better but Boston College (founding BE member), Miami & Va. Tech were long gone before Syracuse and Pittsburgh (BE member since '82) decided to leave.

I can also tell you that every single Syracuse student, alumni and fan I've ever spoken to also wishes SU never left the original Big East but unfortunately that's the nature of college sports today. Dont kid yourself either, if UConn had been given the opportunity they would have jumped just as quickly.

I dislike Syracuse more than I dislike Duke. Not that complicated. Duke is what it is. Hopefully Hurley gets this program to the point where they're legitimately competitive with them for recruits, wins, etc. but as of right now they're operating in a different stratosphere. Put it this way: right now I derive more satisfaction from the 4 > 1 thing than I do heartburn from the fact that Duke is reeling in every recruit they want.

well put.

Its not even close really.

UConn fans obsession with Duke as a rival over the years is absolutely scoffed at by Duke fans. And rightfully so.

that's a self fulfilling prophecy. the big east WAS fine without ND football. in 2011 TCU had just accepted an invitation to join but then Syracuse decided to leave and it all came crashing down overnight. obviously it would have solidified our position but Syracuse didn't have to leave just b/c ND wouldn't become a full time member either.

once the writing was on the wall we had to try and join a p5 in order to avoid our current predicament. empty words saying you wish you never left. you did and in the process killed the conference you claim to love.

just go back to your sewer

Not inaccurate, but he left out that Charles is far more entertaining.
