MSU vs Duke, KU vs UK

[cliftonparksufan]

What are 4 programs that I might despise even more than FYukon?

 

[OrangeDW]

Kansas and Michigan St. are usually just a feather in the cap victory for us, so they don’t bother me much.

What year could we be invited to the Champion Series? Michigan State is not that good. The best programs are Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and UNC. The next tier are UCLA, Villanova and UConn. Then Indiana. This is my top 8. Basically we did nothing in the past 15 years and let UConn and Villanova pass us.

“Nothing”??

If we’ve done “nothing”, what exactly has Indiana done in the last 15?

Matthew Hurt looks like a Laettner clone.

Got Mich. St. +3.5, sprinkled a little on the MSU money line +150. Also UK/KU Over 143.5 and a small parlay on MSU spread and UK/KU Over.

I bet Patrick Tape is happy he chose Duke

 

[pearl31]

they’ll prob be formidable by years end but man right now Duke is just not very good

Very sloppy and MSU beating them on both ends.

 

[pearl31]

and no real size to speak of while also not having that much in the way of shooters

 

[kirbivore]

Haven't seen either team play, just figured the public would be all over Duke. In the hour before placing the bets the MSU line went from 3 to 3.5 and the ML went from +135 to +150

His comment was really odd on so many levels. First, he slams Michigan St, and puts UConn, Villanova, Indiana, and UCLA all ahead of them. Indiana and UCLA have largely been irrelevant the past 10 years except for a few bright spots. UConn does have the two titles since 2010... but let's be honest they have been a very mediocre program since 2011, with one lucky run in 2014.

Unfortunately right Syracuse doesn't really belong near Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, (and Michigan St and Villanova I suppose on recent times either). But as you said saying Indiana has stayed relevant compared to us is so odd. Our strong period where we were close with those "big" schools was between 2009-2014 and we could easily argue we were in that next tier of 4 at that time... which as far as I can remember was not 15 years ago either!! Indiana has had nowhere close to a run like we did between 2009-2014 in this century.

Really makes you think.

Uconn has had a .500 to less than .500 league won loss record for the past 10 years. Nova for sure. Oh, and not for nothing, UNC had a losing record last year. They deserve to be in there, yes, but 14-19 I believe last year.

Hate Duke, but if I have to hear about how good the Big 10 is all year between Sparty, Wisconsin, Iowa, Ohio State and Illinois all year just shoot me now.

[UpstateSM]

How about Patrick Tape not even sniffing the court for Duke? He probably would have been our starting 5 for the next month or so.

Even guys with Ivy League degrees get swindled by K. Hate to see it

 

[cliftonparksufan]

I predict a Coach K back ailment if this keeps up.

I don't like seeing them getting fawned over.
But unfortunately it is a really good conference this year, following from last year... 30-3 so far... I know weak opponents, but other big boy conferences are having more slip ups.

 

[Alsacs]

Duke can’t shoot.
#21 for Duke is easily the most hateable Duke player in years.
I can’t stand him and this is the first time I have ever seen him play.

Michigan State depth has worn down Duke.
I never want to hear Magic Johnson as a comp for Duke’s Johnson.

1-14 from 3

Marek/Q/Healthy Bourama is a better group than Duke’s big guys
