Better NC game PG; Tyus stones or Joel dingleberry?

[crazyduke3]

Who would you want in the most important game in college ball?

 

[dbav]

Rhetorical? Haha.

I'll take the one with the National Championship ring!

Love the name!!!!

It's amazing how different their games were. Berry bossed the first half then disappeared when it mattered, Tyus had a quiet first half and bossed the second half when it absolutely mattered. The difference is what makes champions.

That was Tyus' thing. He could have done more at any point but he often just ran the team (like Bobby Hurley did so well at Duke.) However when it came time to win the game, Tyus did his best work.

Does SI do covers for second place?

Gary....I think it's imperative you give us a 'Stats and Stuff' thread on the game last night. We're dying to know what went wrong for the Heels, and I know you have the answers.

Maybe we can call Joel "Mr First Half"

Be looking for a runner up banner. If they put one up for the NIT runner up. Be sure this one goes up in an emotional ceremony. OFC

The banner will say:

2016 NCAA Tournament
0-1 vs. Top 4 Seeds

 

[twdukefan]

They went through a tourney getting a chance to play a 6 seed in the Elite Eight, a 10 seed in the final four, and avoid a one seed throughout the tourney. They still lost? They have no right to complain about anyone else's road to the FF ever again

'Nuff said.

I guess that would work. What I do know is that he should aspire to be half the player Jones was in college. Only he has 4 years to perfect it. Jones did it in one.

And how can recruits ignore that? Jahlil, Tyus and Winslow were in the same class as Pinson, Justin Jackson, and Joel Berry. The first three are gone, while the other three are still in school. Ain't nothing like Roy's player development

 

[dukiejay]

Berry is going to be a stud next season, IMO.

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

^ yeah he is unfortunately

 

[Showenuff]

Yep, I'll take Tyus every time, but Joel Berry is a damn good player. Tyus kills him in court vision , passing and running the team , but still in all, Berry protects the ball well, doesn't make to many mistakes and shoots a nice 3 ball.

I think he was pretty darn good this year. Nowhere close to what Tyus was able to accomplish, but really good nonetheless. You are right IMO though, he will be tougher next year. He seems like the kind of kid that doesn't rest on his laurels. I expect him to be a pain the rear to Duke at east twice next season.
