Always has been

He lost in the first round his final two seasons here including 2 points in his final game.

I know where he learned that one!

Pretty sure JB never did that.

Of course you did. You said you were rooting for Duke because you were so afraid that a good game by Gerry might lead him to this job. That is fine. That is your opinion. But you knocked his coaching along with a lot of other people here. Don't worry about your Dukie's though. The second half will wear Siena down. Their loss of three starters has to affect them at some point.

Witness! I read it. And I will say I have been against the family hire for some time too but but things can change real fast in March madness.

LGSIENA second half.

“A layup wedgie!” Classic.

I think most people weren’t freaking out about gmac, hop being an option was the bigger problem.

Not really accurate... the overwhelming majority of posters have been of the opinion that "It has to be someone outside of the Boeheim/SU family". To suggest otherwise isn't really being honest, in my opinion (even if you personally did not hold that opinion).

 

[RedtheGOB]

Interestingly enough Duke is basically is the same boat.

I don’t want to get all existential but Sienna beating Duke like this May make them and a lot of teams reassess their whole outlook. Blank check rosters of 10 lottery picks and 20 million dollar rosters. Doubtful but heads will roll on Tobacco Road.

I haven’t read any of this thread, just saw the halftime score, and I’m almost done with work. It’s going to be a banger. Can’t wait to read it!

Yep. Let's not rewrite history.

If this is still a double digit lead by mid second half or so look for Duke to get tight and start panicking a little.

 

[DoctahLexus]

EVERY TIME I REFRESH THEY SCORE AGAIN! FOOT ON THE GAS GMAC!!!

Duke taking a dookie

 

[dwilmont44]

Wow that missed dunk...

 

[llandz]

Don't keep trying the dunk...then Duke goes we'll show you how it's done

 

[HyattsCuse]

Wow that missed dunk...

x2

 

[swish7]

Siena needs to keep extending possessions drawing fouls & stop missing shots

 

[Eric15]

Is Ostertag serious here? You miss a dunk and follow it up by pretending to be 1997 MJ?

 

[LpoolNative]

Don’t get too cocky

 

[CorduroyG]

Top 5 all time sports upset if it happens?

 

[AZOrange]

Ugh could be up 15

 

[Jasoncuse]

Those two missed dunks, followed by the Duke run out are going to be a critical turn in this game. Lots of momentum shifting.
