Beware the zone of Boeheim

Don't forget the most important fact here: Jay is a Dukie.

I wonder how he had the Michigan State game going.

So would I.

 

[NineOneSeven]

So would I

But I don't know anything anymore about this game

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I too, would not be surprised. I also would not be schocked if we have a game where our shots go in, the Duke one and dones are auditioning for the NBA, Grayson plays hero ball, and we pull out a win.

 

[bevosu]

After the last week or so I don't know what to expect anymore?

 

[007]

Seems reasonable to expect that. That might not be how it plays out, be he is not off the wall.

 

[OrangeFoo]

I think Duke is the best team left in the tourney and they are led by the best player in the tourney who plays a position tailor made to beat us... that's a tough combo to overcome.

 

[Testa.Cuse]

60 points on us at theyre home. Time always tells and sometimes that is rewarding. Beware of cuse sneaky fast breaks here and they're against those bigs. Take our guards all day everyday over them.

 

[Testa.Cuse]

It takes a superior ball player to carry a team. They're is not anybody even close to that from limited games I have seen. This will be a game all the way.

He's not wrong. Maybe.

You've gotta think JB is going to tweak things so Bagley doesn't get 15 dunks this time.
I think we take our chances with them hitting the foul line J, and protect the rim, and the 3pt line.

And as it was, we held them to 60, at home.
We make this another ugly rockfight in the 50's to low 60's, and you hafta like our chances.

Plus - we have 2 secret weapons they didn't experience last time:
Marek unleashing the Dole-J's from all over, without hesitation
Braeden Bayer

As a radio guy said, MSU got all the rebounds but weren’t good enough to put many of them back in. The Duke guys getting those rebounds will two two lottery picks.

 

[Jasonrob44]

It might not be what we want to hear, but I mean, they've already done it. I don't think that's a crazy thing to expect given that the only two coaches that might know ur zone better than Coach K are Boeheim himself and Hop. Maybe Rob Murphy. But as someone else said, I wouldn't be shocked either if it's a tight game.

Didn't Michigan State have two future lottery picks too?

 

[pearl31]

I wonder how he had the Michigan State game going.

I'm about 99% certain I heard him sometime in the past couple weeks predict that Mich St would win the whole thing.

 

[PhatOrange]

ooooo way to go out on a limb there Jay. The spread is double figures and they are already beat us by double figures.

It’s supposed to snow in Washington tomorrow.

I don’t like it, but I’m not mad at the weatherman for predicting it. He’s just looking at the history, the facts and the probability.

 

[Orangezoo]

I don't care if Duke had loads of tough games all season. They still have a young team, coming off two easy wins traveling now a long way from home vs a Cuse team that is Battle ready and hungry for more. UNC was a far worse matchup for us than Duke league wise. If we can get a full game from our two centers bad knees and all, we can make this game a war just like the others.

 

[l'orange]

I think Duke would be our toughest game of any of them left to the championship. I'll go into the game like I did against Michigan St, with minimal expectations. Anything past TCU is pure gravy to me.

 

[realorange]

No where near the level of Bagley and Carter.

 

[cusetown1]

He’s just mad his tobaccy road buddies lost. Has to really hope Duke wins.

 

[teamco]

Not to worry. I've been Back to The Future . . . it's Cuse by 3, 62-59

And in a bizarre twist, Biff's Sports Almanac also notes Jay Bilas almost choked to death on a hot dog at the buzzer and was saved at the last moment when Braedon Bayer walked by and performed the Heimlich Maneuver
