lmao, yeah UK is right on the edge of disappointment. I've been on the edge ever since that bad Baylor loss.

Also, Bowser, it looks like our football teams are meeting again next week. Should be a good one.

You shut your mouth.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Oh, Fran. LOL.

 

[Wellscha]

Another KU game, another time every player on the team looks like they've never been coached a day in their lives.

I'll say it right now: we'll be a bubble team going into the tourney. We have no leader, no killer instinct to win.

Heresy.

 

[DominoKid]

this game

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Can it be termed an upset or are we beyond that now?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Did they rush the court? Please tell me they didn't rush the court

 

[Bowser]

Did they rush the court? Please tell me they didn't rush the court

They did indeed rush the court.

23 fucking offensive rebounds...how do we continue to lose these games? How?!

 

[Fjordson]

Ya boy Steph's on our side

Betrayal-ton! I know Davidson is in North Carolina, but I think he also went to high school there.

The Curry boys grew up in Charlotte. Dell Curry is one of the most recognized Hornets.

That's OK, though. The 49ers stole Ric Flair.

 

[Fjordson]

I'm dumb, totally forgot about Dell. Doesn't he do color for the Bobcats now?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Bunch of top 10 teams lost this weekend, wonder if we'll move up. Also Iowa should be in the top 15.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Yep.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Glad to see the Gophers play well after the flop against Michigan. Should be 2-0 but the season is still early. Easy win against Penn State then 4 games against ranked teams.

 

[Karakand]

Enfield's boys coughing up a hundo to UCLA.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Should be 2-0 but the season is still early.

That's cute.

 

[eznark]

Any gif's of the McCaffery meltdown?

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Wow. Iowa State breaks into the top 10 (#9) in new AP poll. This is a crazy season for us, hope we can keep it going.

 

[Deleted member 12837]

I guess we might be getting a little backlash/overcorrecting for staying in the Top 10 with 2 losses. 9 spots...ouch.

There goes the streak. Still pretty damn impressive, I doubt anyone approaches it for a long time.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

The end of an era

For those that are curious, the last time Duke was unranked was Feb 2007

I'm sure the AP poll is happy that people are now looking back and wondering how the hell that Demarcus Nelson/Greg Paulus Duke team was ever ranked in the top 10

That team had a ton of close losses though. They sucked but they tried....well except McRoberts.

 

[Bowser]

UNC now unranked.

Which means we'll upset #2 Syracuse this week! Huzzah!

 

[Randolph Freelander]

UNC now unranked.

Top 5? That's a given. This Duke slide down the polls is all part of the plan. A couple more losses and they'll have a chance against the Tar Heels.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

UNC now unranked.

I don't know how to feel about this game.

On the one hand, you have UNC, a team that I hate.

On the other hand, Duke and UNC losing on back-to-back weeks to the newbloods is a terrible look.

 

[jakncoke]

Maryland keeps hitting 3's on us ffs

edit; Durand coming up big tonight

Newkirk owned them there lol

Yeah on paper it does sound bad, although we did pretty well that year. We even beat a #3 UNC at the Dean Dome.

We didn't have McRoberts in 2007-2008 (which is when the streak started).

The 07-08 team was decent (not really good by Duke standards, losing to Belmont in the second round of the NCAA tourney) but they were world-beaters compared to 06-07. That was a nightmare year. Getting swept by UNC, not even being good enough to get a bye in the ACC Tourney,losing in the first game of the ACCT to fucking NC State led by Engin Atsur (where's he at these days?), and then losing to VCU in the first round of the NCAA Tourney.

The only good thing about 06-07 was bringing in the Scheyer, Henderson, Thomas, Zoubek class that would be the backbone of the title team three years later.

Almost losing to Belmont in the 1st round. Lost to WVU in the 2nd round, led by Joe Alexander (cocky little shit). Then we got sweet sweet revenge and blew them out in 2010 in the Final Four.

 

[jakncoke]

Joe Alexander can choke on a bag of dicks, big eared goon

edit; nice night of college basketball baylor at iowa st and ohio st at michigan st

This CNN story is blowing up on my Twitter.

http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/07/us/ncaa-athletes-reading-scores/index.html

This is coming off the heels (hey oh!) of that Bloomberg story on the Afro Am stuff, not a good look for UNC.

I knew there was a reason why Dean Smith was so pissed at the "J.R. Can't Reid" signs.

same at every school. don't care.

 

[Talon]

same at every school. don't care.

This shit don't fly at Duke, Northwestern, and Stanford.

I'd expect this to happen at Ohio State or Arizona, not UNC. UMich, UCB, UVA, and UNC are supposed to be on a separate level academically. Disappointing to read about this.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

It is however quite disingenuous when "The Carolina Way" is so integral to your program's image and psyche isn't it?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Duke begins their life as might-as-well-be-unranked in a few minutes against Georgia Tech at home. Sulaimon has apparently been reinserted into tonight's starting lineup. Jefferson, too.

Laura Keeley ‏@laurakeeley 3m
New (old) lineup for #Duke: Quinn Cook, Rasheed Sulaimon, Rodney Hood, Jabari Parker and Amile Jefferson

 

[perfectchaos007]

They're currently airing an unranked v. unranked matchup on ESPN, and a top 10 v. top 10 matchup on ESPN2.

SEC! SEC! SEC!

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Parker just got on the wrong side of a poster.

 

[Vanillalite]

Damn GT just dunked alllll over Duke.

 

[Proelite]

Haha. Loving this.

Parker going to stay another year .

 

[Vanillalite]

Haha. Loving this.

Parker going to stay another year .

Is it really a win if he is staying cause he isn't as good as advertised this year?

 

[Randolph Freelander]

#16 is too high and Parker is too cold.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

See if some free throws help Parker here... was just 2 of 9 in the first.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

See if putting back his own miss helps him out here...

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Good ISU/Baylor game going here.

 

[jakncoke]

bs T zebras

 

[Vanillalite]

The amount of no call travels in the GT Duke game is hilarious.

We need to pull away.

Though that technical on Ejim was bogus.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Len Elmore on Hood: "Who's guarding that man?"

Nobody, apparently.

 

[Proelite]

Parker needs to be benched like Rasheed was.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Hilton Magic in full effect right now.
