Newbies thought about rushing the court but then the OGs reminded them that every one beats Duke at home, included them last year.

That team beat Duke. Quite easily.

Miami's losing to the sub .500 and winless in the conference Georgia Tech. At home.
The same team that scored 90 and beat Duke by 15 in Cameron.

College, of course. This NBA season is oddly entertaining even to me.

At least both teams scored more than 70 in regulation. Competent basketball!

Down with Notre Dame twitter for pointing out inconvenient facts.
Notre Dame MBB ‏@NDmbb 39m39 minutes ago
DID YOU KNOW: Coach K is 19-2 against his former assistant coaches.
The 2?
That comes from Coach Brey & our squad.

Random late observation: I'm going to need Matt Jones to stop shooting 3s, because I don't like his form. I don't even know what his percentage is, but his form just drives me nuts. At least look like you'll make it.

That team should be better than NIT with all of that talent. Congrats on the W. We got completely out played and couldn't hit a 3 to save our life. That's probably the most fire I've seen come from Hammons his entire basketball career. The kid finally seems to be getting it and maturing in the process.

I guess the season's officially over. Can college teams tank? Is that a thing?
Work on building up Jah's personal highlight tape for the pros and start grooming Grayson to take over the team next year with Kennard, I guess.

He doesn't look like he knows what he's doing on a basketball court.

What the hell is going on. I wonder if this has been an issue extending back to last season. There was definitely some Austin Rivers-y feeling stuff going on behind the scenes with his pouting and benching, but it seemed like this year was a clean slate for him and he was ready to accept his role.
Huge blow to our depth. Hopefully this opens up some minutes for Grayson, but I'm guessing it just means we'll be seeing a lot more of Matt Jones.

But he played last night (albeit in limited minutes).
Was this a decision already made but K felt he needed him for Notre Dame so he kept him on the team until right after? If so, that's an asshole move on K's part.
Did something happen between last night and now that made K go enough is enough?
Was it because of that dumbass shot that Sheed took at the end of the game?

Lmao. I hope it's the last reason. It's not, but that would be crazy. Coach K turning heel.

That doesn't make sense, K would've kept him through the UVA game if that were true.

It's a good thing Jah's as good as advertised, or this season would be 06-07 levels bad.

From a PR perspective, I wish they just said something like "Rasheed Sulaimon is no longer part of the Duke basketball team. We thank him for his contributions to the program for the past 3 seasons," and left it at that. This whole bit about falling short of standards is kind of nobody's business.
Real talk: Think about recruiting.
More real talk: Don't encourage Sulaimon to put any dirty laundry on blast.
lmaooooooooooooo he was probably just a colossal asshole yall. sometimes it's that simple.
Some of the 9.99ers are hinting this is the case, and a possible physical altercation. K has had a couple of players where the relationship was, well, really bad. Greg Newton and Ricky price come to mind. But I don't think either were kicked off the team.
Sheed seemed close with the other players on the team, so while some shake ups like injury or tragedy can galvanize a team, this can have the opposite effect. We might be heading into Bobby Knight territory here.

You don't kick someone off the team out of the blue for being an asshole. You suspend them, indefinitely if you have to. Bench him a few games. Whatever. To go from getting decent minutes against ND the night before to this, it points to it being likely that there's something more.

I trust Rowe and if he says its bad (and the rumors flying around are pretty bad), shit's about to hit the fan
Not saying what's about to come out will necessarily be true. But it will be ugly
In non-Duke related news, good on the Buckeyes for kicking the Turtles down a peg

Worst rumors are about grape. I don't buy it though.
