Coppin State now in jeopardy

[Laettner15]

*sigh*

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Good grief

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Good gosh! This is ludicrous. Is there not another team Duke can play?!

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

I am so afraid this is going to be an issue all season!
OFC

 

[bullettoothtony]

This is absolutely ******* ridiculous.

 

[DukeNation12]

Plenty of time to find a replacement team for Sat...any team would be better than another scrimmage against the same guys again.

 

[Shatterthesky22]

At this rate we'll finish 0-0 ranked #9 and just outside the 16 team tourney.

 

[Laettner]

Problem solved, I called Kevin White & offered up my HS AAU team. We could hang for 2-3 minutes. No pressing allowed!

 

[jnastasi]

Get ready for this to be a common theme this year

 

[christophero]

This is getting absurd if true. There needs to be a backup plan . If MSU is our first game...yikes.

Is what it is. No one has control over it. Deal with it.

I didn't know there was another option.

 

[Shatterthesky22]

Some good news though, Carolina was thoroughly unimpressive against Charleston, so maybe we can keep them in the ACC's lower half for another year.

Teams have to play atleast 13 games to qualify for the NCAA tourney. I expect some calls are being made to reach that number. But this does suck.

Griping and self pity seem popular.

That was my thought. It would really benefit this group to get one in before facing MSU (who will have likely gotten multiple games in already).

 

[500HP_Devil]

Anyone have an update?

 

[nets on nets on nets]

Anyone have an update?

Fingers crossed.

 

[timo0402]

As of right. Ow i have not heard that it’s off but hey it’s 2020

 

[500HP_Devil]

Vegas line is at -37.5 if they play - that’s a big number.

 

[geddoughton23]

I'm really surprised by the schedule. I thought that it would be much more local. It makes sense to play teams in the area like Elon and High Point rather than Coppin State

 

[geddoughton23]

I agree with the poster above who said that UNC was unimpressive the other night. They certainly won't go from 14-19 to 29-4. UNC is more talented than last year and played with more effort. Caleb Love is a better fit at PG than Cole Anthony, and Sharpe and Kessler are the strongest Centers in Chapel Hill since Eric Montross

If they play all 27 games I'd expect somewhere about 18-9 or something. Y'all are young and Roy doesn't have the same experience K does with huge freshman classes and even with that experience, it doesn't normally pan out how you think it will. I'm not particularly optimistic about our group either but, I've been surprised before. Either way, just glad to have college bball back. No March Madness was just awful and I don't know if I'll survive without one this season lol.
