So, there's actually a fan of the Orange on GAF.
Weren't you wondering if they existed on GAF, jak?

Yeah, Tech being the return game is interesting.A three game suspension for Smart and the first game he will get to play upon returning is Texas Tech. Maybe Orr will travel to Stillwater?
The Orr guy has said he won't be attending any more games this year, though. Or he "volunteered" to not attend games whatever that means.

My dudes won a game! Sure it was against Penn State, but we won a game!

You got to see what happens when you give Andre Dawkins open shots. For his career he's been pretty streaky (but he's been a lot more efficient this year especially on the road where he used to be awful), but when he's hot, he's HOT. Suddenly one 3 turns into 2, turns into 3 turns into 5 turns into 7 or 8. I'd wager he's a top 5 shooter in the country when he has one of those nights. I still remember the game against Wake a year and a half ago where he made 7 threes...in the first half.
Him turning it around off the court has to be one of the highlights of the year for me. I know people like to look at Duke as a bastion of evil where we kick cancer patients and eat puppies, but knowing Andre's story and the emotional depths he's been in, just seeing him being happy again has to bring a smile to your face.

Duke is back in the top 10 (AP #8, Coaches #9), just in time for the road game at Chapel Hill. Oh well, the Blue Devils had a good run.

Our girls are getting waxed by UNC.

First time Duke women have lost to UNC women (in basketball) since 2011.
It's an omen.

The last time an unranked UNC team beat Duke was in 2003, so I still think we should be favored quite heavily.
But if any team's primed for an upset it's this one. Just what happens when you can't get stops.

Kansas State trying to out-do Indiana on looking pathetic after a regular season win.

Another upset. I'm nervous.
Embiid is hurt. KU was out there 6th man. I think that was worth a point in regulation.
And Kansas State won the game with their bench.. so no.
Traylor messing up off the court with something obviously didn't help. Anyways I always saw us losing 3 or 4 games in conference.

Except it's not about having fun, it's the sheep mentality of "oh they did this on TV so lets do it now!"

I had to work for most of the game. but saw the final 5 and overtime. hi five to caliblue
go k-state
go k-state
This is what won't get any airtime or discussion. Most college fans don't care because it happens all the time. KU should have sent the walkons into the crowd to shove people. Precedent says only 3 games.
People care when they can isolate a single person saying an unspecified thing. People don't care when thousands say an obvious thing.
But that's the point. It happens in college. Fighting fans doesn't. We can't have a real conversation about the Marcus Smart incident until we understand what happens all the time in the college game. Fact: Thousands of KSU fans chanted "Fuck KU" multiple times during the game. Fact: Many in the media said it was understandable that Marcus Smart shoved a fan because of what he said. The logical extension is that KU players can go shove 1000's of fans. See how ridiculous that is? See why 3 game suspension is a joke?
They weren't attacking a player or a person, just the name of the school....
That's just disingenuous. Come on now.
I do hate when KU loses. That's obvious. But my point still stands. I don't care that most of the second half included background of "fuck ku" chants. That is just par for the course. But no KU player went and charged a fan that was saying it. I doubt anyone in this thread is saying all those fans should be banned. So why should one random old guy be banned?

They had fun all game long.
Court rushing is stupid. I'll say it a million times, you're supposed to beat your rival on your home floor. You're supposed to win against your conference opponents. It should be routine. I have no problems with court rushing, per se, although I do at least expect it to be a road game when you do it. That's having fun.
How do you rush a court of an away game? ....

Plan ahead.
Interesting SMU making its first top 25 since the 84-85 season
If Southern Miss(6 votes, so they are far off) got ranked at any point this season. It'd be their 1st since the 1990-1991 season
If Stephen F. Austin somehow got ranked it'd be their 1st ranking ever. Wow, hope they somehow manage to get ranked, probably wont happen but would be cool

Students can't go to road games. They're students.
And it's not routine to beat a top ten team when you're unranked. A team would look ridiculous if they acted lkie it was.
Go Dale Brown! Wonder if this will be his last stop? He's 78 so I figure this might be it and I hope he has fun and continued success at SMU while coaching there

There's a BIG difference between a bunch of college kids (at various stages of inebriation) making a chant against a school vs. one guy singling out a player and calling him a piece of crap or telling him to go back to Africa.
If those KSU kids were chanting "Wiggin's mama is a crackwhore" you might have a case. But attacking the name of a school is fair game and has always been fair game. Attacking a player on that personal of a level is not.

If they're not committed to the cause, I can't help them.
Please, top ten is nothing. Kansas had lost 5 times before that game. But it should absolutely be routine for your team to beat your conference rivals. Act like you've been there before, because you have. If not, your team has never been and will never be any good and there's no point in celebrating that one-off lucky win.
Celebrate when you win a title. Everybody else just ends with a loss.
This is some garbage posting. You basically just said that there is nothing worthwhile for athletes/fans/coaches in college basketball besides winning. I almost can't imagine a grown human would have such a horribly ineffective view on organized sports and what it really means.

No, what I said was that regular season win versus your conference rival at home isn't all that special, because it isn't. It's expected. That's what your team is supposed to do.
Go into their place, beat them there. Load up a bus, rush that court. Troll hard. I'm serious, I want Clemson to win in Chapel Hill one time and act like they own the place.
