ESPN and Coach K.

[zannmann]

I bet ESPN is crying tears in the beer, because Coach K is going to get his 1000th win on Fox instead of their network. I will be glad when he gets it, so they will shut up about it.

 

[crazymg]

I am with you on this, I never cheer for Duke, but they need to get this win so that the talking heads can shut the hell up. I agree it is a major accomplishment and he deserves the accolades, but give us a small break.

 

[akaukswoosh]

This is one time I'd like to see Duke win because it is on a Fox. lol

 

[Crawfords Corner]

They might not get it. St.Johns has weathered the Duke run and are only down 1 now.

 

[macd79]

I watched it for about 20 second and that was all I could take,the bs calls that okafor gets in the post is sickening,just touch him and its a foul.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

If we play Duke, WCS fouls out in the first half. Bet on it.

 

[WildMoon]

st. johns are sloppy as hell.

LOL

they should have 6 more points by now.

 

[macd79]

Why can't we get those calls in the post?

 

[akaukswoosh]

If Duke can't beat St. John's on a neutral floor trying to win one for the gipper how are they going to march thru the NCAAs to meet us in the final game?

 

[Seth C]

At this rate K's back might start hurting before he gets to 1000.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

If they don't win today, it might be another week. Next two games are at ND and at UVA.

 

[akaukswoosh]

LOL no kidding. Trips to ND and UVA around the corner.

 

[Jonathan40330]

Plenty of game time left, but SJU is up by eight and, once again, Duke is playing their vaunted matador defense where any team with athleticism and quality interior players can make them look very, very vulnerable.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Yikes. Carnaseca's face looks like a pit bull's chew toy.

 

[akaukswoosh]

Duke May have to go zone the rest of the year. Anybody can penetrate.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Best player in the country and all Duke does is chuck up 3 after 3.

 

[zannmann]

Well crap, K and the boys mailing it in right now. We will have to listen to that crap even longer, if they don't do something to turn this around.

 

[calscats8105]

Gus Johnson stated that he asked a St. John's player if they thought they could beat Duke and his answer was " Absolutely! They play no defense whatsoever."

Since K embraced the OAD way, Duke's rep is no defense and nothing but perimeter shooting. Gotta wonder why K doesn't get more heat over it.

 

[Robcatt24]

Chris Mullin is killing Duke from the perimeter. And the Blue Devils have no answer for Bill Wennington inside.

 

[WhiteCityCat1]

Not so fast my friend.

 

[akaukswoosh]

I guess Dook Vitale didn't mean K is absolutely the best defensive coach in the world.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Fix so ESPN can televise the 1000th win with Vitale doing the commentary.

 

[zannmann]

Dukie V is an idiot. K might have been one of the best coaches in all of sports 10 years ago, but not today.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

We've entered the "breathe on Tyus Jones and it's a foul" phase of the game.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

St. John's will choke this one away. Guaranteed.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

Headline "Duke finishes miracle comeback for their legendary coach"

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

St Johns in full choke mode.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Okafor has TWO games all year with 4 fouls and zero foul outs. Most protected playing in the country by far.

 

[JerseyCat84_rivals57050]

T. Jones kicks his leg out on a 3 pt attempt and draws the foul. Never fails.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

I have ZERO respect for Krybabyshitski teaching that ***** *** flopping. Jones sticks his leg out and kicks the defender and falls down and of course the refs call the foul. I hope ND and UVA beat them senseless.

 

[UK Widget]

I can see the headlines as "Duke makes an unprecedented comeback for the ages to have the best coach in all of sports win his 1000th game"

Absolute joke = shooting flop.

Should make this an automatic T-foul - blatant cheat architect = rat face

 

[goingpostal72]

what Duke shooters do on those three's is cheating period. the St John's player was totally clear of Jones if he doesn't create the contact with his leg

Exactly, how are you supposed to attempt to block his shot if he's sticking his leg out? Congrats Coack K on your 1000th win even if you do it by encouraging flopping.

If I was the opposing coach I would tell the refs before the game to watch for that. Of course they all know it anyway, but at least you could try.

I said this after the first few Duke games... Said it now.. and I'll say it again in the tournament.. The foul disparity in the UK/Duke game will be laughable. They can't afford for Okafor to be on the bench, and on the oher end, we have an abundance of front court players.

It's the only reason I don't want to see Duke in the tournament. Surely an 8 on 5 match-up.

 

[macd79]

If we got the calls that duke gets we would never lose,pitiful to say the least.

 

[SilentsAreGolden]

Be prepared for a week long of Duke/K slurpage. OTH, PTI, First Take, etc. Guess I'll have to avoid all their channels.
