Duke is One Awful

[BigPapaVol]

Defensive rebounding team and can't get to the hole. Don't guard the paint well, can't keep guys in front of them. Ugh. Not a pretty sight.

Take Nolan Smith and Andre Dawkins out of the equation and they have Ivy League level athleticism.

And Gottlieb killed them. Jay Williams had no real response.

Nolan Smith will be their best player. Singler needs to back off the trigger in a big way.

I saw that. Doug is about the only honest analyst they have left. Everyone else is too busy trying to be every coaches' buddy. I'm just glad I haven't had to hear from that fool Tom Brennan yet.

I don't get all the Singler love. He's soft, shoots too much and enamored with the 3. I'd rather see both Plumlees, healthy, on the floor.

A large number of media guys are invested in hyping Singler. They all made ridiculous comparisons between he and Laettner and Ferry. Thus, they have to pass him off as excellent or look silly.

Williams tried to compare him to Battier, which is utterly retarded.

Williams is the worst of a bunch of bad analysts working for ESPN. His next original or insightful comment will be his first.

This game is providing further confirmation of something I'm certain of. NC State fans are imbeciles.

Yes. I'm no Sendek fan, but that trade was epically poor.

I was sitting in one of the bars at the MGM the summer after Sendek left Raleigh. I had two coaches whose teams are currently in the Top 10 tell me that mistake would set State back 10 years. Looks like that's about right.

I just don't understand it. Who thought that was a good enough trade to pull the trigger?

NC State people act like they're victims in that situation. They're just stunned Sendek got tired of hearing their whining and crying about the glory days of Sloan and Valvano, both of whom landed them in the 'AA slammer. They wanted someone who "got" what NC State was all about. Sid Lowe is what they deserve.

Except when he is stealing credit cards from teammates. He is from my hometown and is regarded as a prick.

Like picking UK to win the title? That was insightful, to his lack of real knowledge for the college game.

Many people do mature from their youthful irresponsibilities. Yesterday Doug gave thanks to Eddie Sutton for picking him up and supporting him following his Notre Dame experiences. He said Eddie is a "great coach and a great man" and is the only coach with 800 wins not in the Hall of Fame.

I agree w you, but a lot of people I know don't have very good things to say about him.

I'm still wondering how Zoubek is on scholarship? I'm excited about Plumlee coming back in the next week or two, though.

I was living in raleigh during the Sendek departure. Barnes and Calipari gave interviews for the opening only as leverage for raises at their respective schools. The lunatic fringe base rejoiced when Sendek left. They thought running him off would land a Barnes or Calipari. They got a good dose of reality.
