Which is complete BS and the committee just relishes in screwing Duke, because they will never be called out for it....

we have to remember Bubba Cunningham is a member of the ncaa committee that’s how the cheats made the ncaa tournament last season with their horrible resume.

as others have alluded, Duke against everyone.

Let’s Go Devils Illustrated. Who cares about everyone else.

Man we really need Pat and he needs to be back this week. A lot of “rumors and rumblings” that he might not play this week.

I just don’t understand what’s going on with him. He goes from practicing and warm up’s before the cheats game (10 days ago today) and coaches held him out of caution. To now, still in a boot yesterday at their selection show party. Wtf is going on with him?

The team needs you this weekend Pat. Super frustrating.

Agree. Something is up with his foot that Duke isn't telling us. I don't see how he can be in a boot Sunday and suddenly able to fully practice then play Thursday.

Where are you hearing that? Everything I see is favorable for playing

Clearly sounds like he will be back at some point, but take this how you will. My take on this is he’s not playing Thursday, which I suppose we can endure but in my opinion- doesn’t give a lot of hope for this weekend.

The issue with him not playing Thursday is how does he go from being in a boot and little cardio to all of a sudden playing his normal 20 mpg on Saturday? I’m just reading between the lines (and of course what some of the downers are saying on socials) but he will 100% be needed Saturday if we get past Thursday.

Personal opinion he makes an appearance Thursday 10-15 but plays and starts Saturday’s we will see

My guess is Pat will be back for the sweet 16 but who knows. It's hard to tell as Jon is speaking like a politician and saying all the right things. (not that I blame him). He needs to complete steps, he's progressing nicely, we're hopeful, etc. The soreness thing is vague as well. Is it getting better? Can he play through it? Guess we'll find out Thursday.
