Duke Dunk

This one tasted good huh?

Point Shaving Alive and Well in NCAA Hoops

Or maybe Duke isn't the true #1. Either way, Duke's stay at the top was only one day longer than Kentucky's stay in the top 25. Not worth being one of those dick heads who brags about the #1 spot only to say it means nothing when their favorite team loses it. It was great seeing Duke back there. And they did not back into it anymore than UConn will back into it next week. It's the nature of the beast.

For some nonobjective game analysis, Duke deserved to lose by about 10. The line was 1.5 and some Vegas degenerates were sweating bricks no doubt. Wake did not seem to feel the need to close out at the end. They gave Duke back to back trips to the line where they were able to chip away at the lead without depleting the clock. The Deacons had a chance to ice it with 50 seconds to go and came away empty handed.

Duke regained control with the chance to tie and Jon Scheyer hoisted a solid three. He missed and that is when the Wes Welkahhhh in him came out. He blue collared his away to the rebound. Long story short, Duke scores to ties it up but gives Wake too much time. Wake scores down the other end, Duke can't convert on a Laetner like miracle, game over.

The upshot? Yours truly will now be attending the Duke BC game for substantially less than previously anticipated.

Duke Doesn't Get Respect?

“I don’t even think it was mentioned in the newspapers here that we were No. 2 in the polls,” he said to reporters recently … “I know it’s not that big here,” he said of Duke’s success, “but it’s pretty damn good. So when this group makes No. 2, it’s a new group, they should be celebrated for doing something good.” Coach K

Shut the fuck up Coach K. Maybe the country is starting to catch on to you and your fucking gay ass program. Maybe they are sick of Dickie V, giving every player a BJ every day. Maybe they are sick of Duke being a number one seed and being consistently upended in the sweet 16 or before. Since Duke let that 8 point lead slip in 2004 Duke has done nothing. As long as Coach K keeps recruiting these all heart, little talent players expect Duke to still be a season team.

Another Reason Why Duke Sucks

.... Queers

73 West Virginia, 67 Duke

Duke couldn't handle the rugged man to man defense as well as the never give up attitude that West Virginia brought. That is why Duke Blew it in the second half.

Duke Sucks, boy this was a great feeling. West Virginia was losing by 5 at half-time, than had a fantastic second half, both offensively and defensively. With West Virginia's De'Sean Butler arguably their best player and their other forward Wellington Smith in foul trouble, Joe Mazzulla the back-up lefty point guard had a hell of a game with 13 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists. West Virginia's Joe Alexander had 22 points and 11 rebounds and Alex Ruoff had 16 points but some crucial 3 pointers to seal the lead. Duke could not get it going in the second half and actually had 15 straight three point misses at one point led W.V. to have such a dominating second half comeback and performance. Duke was over-rated coming into the game and proved it by losing to a 7 seed with their best two players in foul trouble. It'll be nice not to see that queer Paulus any more, and Douche Bag Coach K anymore.
