    The ACC sucks.

    It's a 'defining moment' the same way the last time I got a haircut was a 'defining moment.' Your 'defining moment' is when you guys added 4 basketball schools and one glorified CC in a desperate attempt to save your conference,, and the ACC added a BC team that saw the writing on the wall...

    The ACC sucks.

    Even before Cuse, Pitt, and ND joined, the ACC had more NC's in the new millennium than the Big East. And they had many more players in the NBA than even the 4,000-team Big East.

    The ACC sucks.

    What an odd and arbitrary choice of cutoffs for measuring success. You do realize that, during the 8 years you referenced, EVERY ACC team except Duke, UNC, and FSU changed head coaches, right? It's apples and hand grenades.

    All-ACC 1st Team

    Warren's on the list no matter what. He leads in terms of PPG by a sizable margin w/ 52% on FG overall, and 50% in conference Parker's on the list no matter what. 2nd in PPG overall, 3rd in PPG in conference, 1st in rpg both in conference and overall I don't know that Ennis makes 1st team...

    The Dome vs Cameron

    Yeah, yours is a common misconception about Duke before K. Duke made it to a regional final the yr before K arrived, and had been in the National Championship game just 2 years before that, which makes it all the more remarkable that our then-AD Tom Butters stayed with K when he struggled the...

    The Dome vs Cameron

    It's essentially all Duke fans in the upper bowl, with the very rare wife or husband that went to UNC/Wake/UVA/wherever. Very, very few folks end up selling their tickets on the secondary market for the bigger games. Sometimes, for the lesser games, there will be some folks outside right...

    The Dome vs Cameron

    And, for the uninitiated, to the left side of that pic is the visitor's bench, and those 2 rows of cushioned 'seats' are what used to be the 'buffer' between the students and the visitors, where visitor VIP's sat (and still sit, though they are allowed more folks now). Most teams felt that the...

    The Dome vs Cameron

    Yeah, it's reeeeaaaallly small. But, for those folks that are lucky enough to make it (expect any tickets to be ridiculously priced -- like, even up to $2k-per for the area above that wall, which is where there are actual seats), you'll never regret it. I've been to lots of arenas (never to...

    The Dome vs Cameron

    You need to contribute at least $7k per year to Duke for season tickets (that's the upper area behind the wall). When I was at Duke, the entire lower area in front of the wall (which surrounds the entire court), was composed of: a) the 2 side-court areas -- undergrads only (no tickets -- first...

    Alright, that's all I needed. Goodnight, guys. See you in a few weeks.

    That's not how fouls work. Hitting the ball means zilch if you make that much contact with the body.

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    Dude, you won. You really think that a poster coming from the losing side and having a discussion on the winning side's board is remotely similar to a poster from the winning side coming over and posting? You guys are on cloud nine, and rightfully so. Also, have a look at that crossover1906...

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    In comparison to a 45-9 difference from beyond the 3-pt line, it's minuscule. The point was that the rationalization used for the foul discrepancy was that Cuse was in the paint a lot, while Duke allegedly shot 3's. In reality, that is inaccurate. In reality, Duke took 2 kinds of shots in the...

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    BTW, the stupid crap above distracted me from what I wanted to post here. FTR, Cuse only outscored Duke 45-32 in the paint. Really not that big of a difference...

    If Hood hesitates there, he's got 2 bigs all over him in no time.

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    I just like debate and discussion. I'm not insulting you. I know you guys won't change your minds, most likely, but what's the problem with me making my case? I dunno. Message board dynamics are so curious. I don't expect you guys to agree with me necessarily, but I at least like the back...

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    shot fake there would be idiotic. He had 3 guys nearby, and at most 2 would go for a fake, and they would clog up the lane so much by their reaction that he would have nowhere to go except for a fadeaway. With those 2 choices, you go strong for the dunk every single time.

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    I'm not here seeking your approval. This is a board for discussion. This is a thread about Duke fans whining. To not expect retorts is foolish. And, as for the recently-raised topic -- no idea how my responses in a discussion about Hood's choice to go for the dunk there could be considered...

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    Ever play basketball? The key point made whenever playing against shot-blockers is to go up strong and not get 'cute.' Again, ridiculous MMQB'ing to find any fault whatsoever with Hood there.

    Time for Rock to get the credit he has earned

    What theatricality did you see from Duke tonight? I'll hang up and listen...

    Agreed. Well-deserved... oh, come on. HE TEED IT UP FOR ME!!:D

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    The key to finishing in the lane against Cuse's bigs is to go extremely strong. That's the only way Parker was able to score on the interior. It takes some dubious retrospectoscope to fault him for going strong there (not just because that would be called a foul most of the time, but also...

    Clean block

    lol yeah He jumped from too far away to do it 2-handed, and if he'd waited to get any closer for a 2-hander, Christmas is there.

    Totally impressed by both teams tonight...

    Good comments all. That being said, wrt the above, I actually think that this Duke actually IS a great team. Their growth over the past few weeks has been nothing short of amazing. Don't underestimate your team's accomplishment tonight. This has become a really, really, really good Duke team...

    That is a ridiculously obvious foul. To claim otherwise is silly/insane.

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    What about my post is 'jackass-y'? We shot our season average in terms of percentage on 3's. You allowed your season average percentage on 3's. This game was much more about your FT shooting than our 3-pt shooting.
  35. N

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    Why wouldn't we, exactly? That's the area where your defense is vulnerable, and that's where we have 4 of the top 5 percentage shooters in the conference.

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    Oh, and going into this game, Tyler Thornton was leading the ACC in 3-pt shooting percentage at 53.8%

    Uhh, Duke shoots 41.3% from 3 for the year. Tonight, they shot 41.7% Enough with the false story lines...

    Duke fans bitching about officiating

    You do realize that he says that at the end of every game, right?
  39. N

    Yeah, Duke had 15 3's, but we shot 57.4% from the floor.

    And they shot their season average percentage-wise from 3. Without 3's in this game, they lose by a bajillion. In the age of advanced metrics, and after watching that game, how someone could go with that old-fashioned idea of 'live by the 3, die blah blah blah' is kinda ridiculous. Hell...

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    As I've said on other threads -- it was a great game. You guys played great, and ours played great. But you guys have to understand how we feel about playing ridiculously short-handed in OT thanks to a couple of horrific calls, and the no-call on the Hood dunk in OT was the cherry on the ref...
  41. N

    Duke board full of whining babies:

    Dude, our 2 best players fouled out on 2 flops, and Hood's dunk at the end would've been called a foul in 99.99999% of games. I've liked this board, but you gotta understand how those of us in Duke-land are reeeeaaaalllly pissed about the reffing in that game.
