If any other team in the country was up six at halftime, in Charlottesville, all we’d hear about was how great they played.

Since it’s Duke up six at half it’s, “Duke can’t keep playing this way and expect to beat Virginia.”

Wait, what? I know we shot it well - but we can’t do that anymore and win?

On my tv we kept doing the same thing and we never trailed. Looks like we won

Some of these commentators seem to feel the need to find shortcomings about Duke. I don’t think Greenberg likes K and Duke. Jealousy is a bi%*#. Bilas praises Duke, but is real quick to point out where Duke benefits from a “bad” call, or a no call. Perfect example was the comment about the call that favored RJ on that drive, then a late whistle on a bs phantom foul on Cam when Salt drove the baseline. Never heard Bilas say a word.

It's very puzzling to me how some of these dudes get on tv man. Earlier today I heard a guy on a CBB podcast say "Duke only has good defenders that play lazy. No great defenders." I immediately turned it off and unsubscribed

I don’t know if he’s tying too hard not to be a homer or he’s a trader!!!! Lol either way he pisses me the hell off. To much is highlighted that goes in Dukes favor and not a word is said when it doesn’t.

Makes me that much prouder to be a Duke fan. It's all about envy. Greenberg has always hated Duke. I don't know how he got that job or how he keeps it. He may be the worst ever. OFC

If it were possible to poll college basketball fans I wonder what percentage besides Duke fans pull for Duke when they play a team that they aren't fans of. OFC

I’m sure we were all nervous at half, just how this stuff goes. But the non biased party had to look at that game at half and say, “Virginia did a great job clawing their way back but they are still going to have their hands full in the second half.” Duke was shooting lights out, but everything Virginia was taking and making were tough shots. Duke’s talent was going to win that second half 9/10 times.

It's pretty obvious that I annoy you in some way. I really don't want to get into a childish back and forth with you so maybe it's best that we just don't say anything to one another. I've made a point that I'm not going to put any Duke fan on ignore. We do stand on common ground as far as that goes. It's just not worth the bickering to me. Do as you please but I think it's besthe for me. I got a lot of things on my mind and I shouldn't have let it got to this point and I apologize to you if I've been irratating and I will leave it at that. OFC

Commentators or announcers try to give the general fan base in the country what they want and since Duke is hated by most non Duke fans the commentators hate on us for the most part, especially Bilas and Greenturd. Their job must be to gets the non Dukies riled up and foaming at the mouth. Just hard to imaging why most fans of other teams are jealous of Duke such as UK, UNCheats.

Well played. To be fair, i am not sure how some of you guys don’t get it at this point? They’re doing it on purpose. How effective are they at selling the product if you’re praising duke 24/7/365?

This was blatant though. I think they were serious. I can’t remember the name. I had to look twice because I thought it was a Virginia podcast

I think it’s obvious they are trolling. Either way it’s why i went to get some adult beverages at the half and didn’t listen to them but heard from hokie what they were spewing.

I’m confused. You know I don’t take anything personal or serious. Nor should you. I play a lot. Everybody knows that. I take it, give it, forget it. Doesn’t bother me...? Your posts do annoy me sometimes though because you don’t take the time and courtesy to proof read what you write before you post . But if you feel this way and dont wanna take the time to proof read your own post, why should I take the time to read it. Btw I’m not much better, but I atleast try haha. Praying for your kidney situation! And your typing;) Love ya bud. #Duke

It’s totally blatant to the point where to a Duke fan, the rhetoric is unintelligent. To the casual national fan (who they’re trying to capture) it works. I’m sure their numbers peaked when Duke crushed Kentucky, then fell hard when they praised us. Now that every game from UVA all the way down to Wake, they sell “this is how you beat Duke,” the numbers are back to where they’re satisfied.

Despite beating UVA by 10 at home, the talk this morning on “The Network,” is fluke win, now the real test begins because they have to play Louisville, UNC, Va Tech, Cuse and NC St. Beating the #3 team and the BPI’s prohibitive favorite outside of Tennessee and Duke away isn’t enough. So get ready to continue to be frustrated by media. Duke love sells no shares. Just remember that.
