nyjunc Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 1990 = modern era right? Cable TV, 64 team field, 3 pt shot, etc. 1996 just doesn't make any freaking sense to me such an arbitrary date. So if we start counting from the modern era of the 3 pts shot. Duke is better than UCONN. Has sent more players to the NBA and has more Natl titles (your definition of better). UCONN is also a bigger school so it collects from a bigger pool. Duke is a small private college and must use guile to recruit or at least it did until K made it THE place to go. UNC would have had more titles but unfortunately since 1984 it has had to deal with Duke and hence both schools have beat each other up a tad. ha, duke hasn't kept Carolina from winning. I think both teams beating each other make each other better. Duke became relevant after the arrival of K and he had to deal with some serious heavy hitters in the ACC with Smith, Valvano, Cremins among others. He took a team to the Natl championship in 1986 and lost to Ellison and Louisville but since then the school has been relevant and consistently in the Natl Championship pic. You and I both know how hard it is to win in the 1 and done tourney. Upsets happen. So since the K era, Duke has been the best team in CB. Period. UCONN cannot compare. I am sorry man. Even your Natl title argument falls one short and you have to agree that there is a better chance of Duke getting #6 than UCONN getting #5. duke was in the Nat'l Title game in 1978, K took over in '80 or '81? they weren't a consistent power but they still had many great years.

Right. Duke and UNC have been powerhouses forever....since way back before I was born. What UConn has done since becoming relevant in 1990 is simply incredible. Duke had the two nice wins in the early 90's when UConn was still a baby, but since then, it's been UConn hoisting the trophy more than anyone.

Agreed. I'm also not sold on Kevin - regardless of the fact that he was able to get us one after Calhoun left. He's got a lot of the herm/rex Rah-Rah in him, but like those two, I think he coaches with his emotions far too much. The discipline details just aren't there. Little things like guys not running through backdoor screens or stepping in for a charge....those things matter. Under Calhoun, we didn't see much of that at all. edit: He could really learn a thing or two from Geno and the girls. With the exception of the obvious differential in athletic ability, those girls play the game year in and year out the way basketball should be played.

Unbelievable how stupid these debates are when you invest nothing in these programs except the cost of tickets and some clothing. Schools are more than just basketball programs, in case anyone forgot about that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afosomf Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Hail to Roy Williams King of Pussies. UNC softest team in history of NCAA, Go Duke!!!! In Dean Dome with just 6 players and 1 got hurt BWahhhhhhhhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I love when people run and hide when their teams lose and crow when they win. Congrats to duke, they hung around in a game they had no business being in and found a way but again please spare me the 6 players garbage. It's amazing how K manipulates the media and their fans parrot every excuse he hands out. Coming into the game they had one injury to a role player, he has McD's AAs on the bench, he NEVER has a bench b/c he always buries players on the bench which is why he has an extraordinarily high transfer rate.

AzogtheDefiler Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 DUKE!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! What a game! I am not sure how far they can advance with five players of which three are freshmen but what a win!!! WOW!!! May need to give more PT to Obi and Jeter, which is scary. Hopefully MJ is back for the NCAAs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be bitter because UNC is the better team this year and will advance further in the NCAAs but AJ is not a "role player" he was the starting PF and averaged 10 boards and 4 blocks per game. With a thin rotation he has been deeply missed and I watch every game. I cannot gauge if Johnson is an NBA prospect or just a good college player. He has good size but he scores around the rim and I am not sure his game translates to the NBA as he is not an elite PF athlete and cannot shoot well enough to play SF. Junc, what sayeth you?

Junc, what sayeth you? he is a role player, nothing more. this is just like Ryan Kelly a few years ago. he gets hurt and he's treated like Jordan. Congrats on the win, they made enough plays to pull off the upset but we need to stop w/ the 6 players BS. I am not sure about brice either but there will be a role for him in the NBA. I thought he did an excellent job guarding Ingram last night. That is a good sign considering the quickness advantage Ingram has and the ability to score from all over the court.

Thanks for the feedback, we'll agree to disagree on the importance of AJ and the rotation :). I think Ingram will be an outstanding pro. He only weighs 190 and is 6'10. As he grows into his body he will be a very tough cover. Paul George / Danilo Gallinari are his comps IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzogtheDefiler Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 I have a bad feeling for the Devils in the NCAAs. Jefferson is not coming back and that leaves them with a 6.5 man rotation. How far can Ingram and Allen really carry the team. UNC is poised for a big run. Please shoot me. At least UCONN is mediocre this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyjunc Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 another game a little too close for comfort but this time the Heels knocked down their FTs late and pulled it out. They just dominated on the glass but duke made a million 3's to keep it interesting. It's nice to have another ACC regular season title and the ACC Tourney should be a fun one. we could see a Carolina-duke semifinal on Friday night.
