Gophers might actually compete this year. Don't think I watched them last year but they look a hella lot better than 2 years ago.

Yeah great win over Arky. I'd say that you guys have looked as good as anyone else in the conference to this point. Not an impressive showing thus fa

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Indiana AKA the same Indiana that is no.1 in ESPN's Power Rankings this week, just lost to Fort Wayne.

Trust in Crean if you want brehs

I've maintained for a while he should be fired.

Dude has no clue how to coach defense, or teach players team basketball IQ.

 

[bucknuticus]

lol IU, Tom Crean and Harbaugh going to have a weird Thanksgiving together.

I was in attendance. What a clinic in playing terrible basketball by IU.

 

[Proelite]

Wendell Carter to Duke.

Harvard are u even trying?

Another recruiting miss for Amaker.

Big men shun that place.

The writing is on the wall for Harvard.

Surely Mo Bamba doesn't want to play with him. Time to go to Michigan Mo!

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Jeff "always be closing" Capel gets another one.

Nothing to see here. NCAA!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

This color guy calling the Duke game sounds like the new Len Elmore.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I see it's that time of the year when I get my first "ain't a dern thing wrong with Lenny Elmore" post out of the way.

And I believe that was Corey Alexander. Nothing wrong with him, either.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Illinois should be embarrassed

 

[Shrennin]

Even without Nichols, and it's still early to say, but Virginia looks good. Their defense seems even better this year too.

 

[sf2fanatic]

The Press Virginia/ Temple was crazy

 

[NewLib]

Malik Monk has decided to turn this game into his own personal slam dunk contest. Don't know if I have ever seen that before.

 

[scoobs]

well, when you're a top 10 draft pick playing against the Tennessee-Martin Skyhawks.... you can do these things. This is the equivalent of John Wall playing pickup games at the Y.

Duke Basketball
‏@dukebasketball
Harry Giles and Marques Bolden are both dressed and warming up for the second straight game.

Duke Basketball ‏@dukebasketball 5m5 minutes ago
Jayson Tatum is standing under the basket in uniform, not participating in warmups. Coach K said Wednesday his recovery is behind other two.

O/U chances that Jayson Tatum and Harry Giles ever play a game together for Duke University: 50%

 

[Randolph Freelander]

First game predictions

Bolden - Dec 3 vs Maine
Giles - Dec 10 @ UNLV
Tatum - Dec 19 vs Tennessee State

 

[scoobs]

Every time Giles jumps I'm going to hold my breath this entire season. Please baby Jesus save that boys knees

 

[Brian Fellows]

Well now that football season is over lets beat Mount Saint Marys!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Syracuse just lost to the University of South Carolina (known in these parts as USC, known in all other parts as South Carolina) by double digits in Brooklyn.

Either a classic Boeheim November performance or Frank Martin's team is actually good.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Speaking of Syracuse losing, Pittsburgh beat Syracuse today, 76-61. How can this be? Weren't they losing to South Carolina? Did they play a double header?

This was in football.

Someone keep this score in mind when their basketball game is something like 58-54.

 

[Servbot24]

Jok gets 42 points... Iowa loses. This will be both an entertaining and crappy season.

B1G-ACC Challenge Time

I'm not even going to pretend that I know or really even care about the teams at the bottoms of the respective conferences (sorry Wake!) so I'm not going to pick game by game.

But it certainly seems like it would be an upset if the ACC didn't win this year. They're much stronger at the top and stronger in the middle as well

 

[truly101]

I sort of don't care about the MSU game at all. Both teams are beat up. If Duke can end the game without any of the players ending up on crutches then thats good enough for me.
The last time MSU beat Duke was just over 10 years ago.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

So many terrible plays in this game.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Put in Jabari or Winslow.

Tyus Stones, please.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Yung Scrappy's broken

EDIT: Or not

 

[truly101]

Put in Jabari or Winslow.

Tyus Stones, please.

They're injured.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

They're injured.

:/

 

[Deleted member 12837]

I like Frank.

 

[truly101]

I like Frank.

Jackson is pretty damn good. I wonder if he shouldn't initiate the offense a little more and set up GA and Luke

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Matt Jones is no longer allowed to shoot.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Remember when Matt Jones could shoot?

K is 112 years old, with 5 national championships and 3 Olympic gold medals, and he's still yelling at his team for not playing hard with a 11 point lead with 1:30 left in this game.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

At least that last 3 drew some iron. The prior two didn't.

Ay caramba.

 

[Affeinvasion]

I know they're unranked now, but how good is Notre Dame? They seem more complete than they did last year.

The ACC is ridiculous.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I know they're unranked now, but how good is Notre Dame? They seem more complete than they did last year.

The ACC is ridiculous.

And they'll still somehow lose the Big 10 challenge

 

[Affeinvasion]

Haven't they lost it like the last ten years?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Kentucky, Please take it easy on UCLA.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

And they'll still somehow lose the Big 10 challenge

Haven't they lost it like the last ten years?

Something like 0-5-2 over the last 7 after winning the first 10.

But all you jabronies need to know is that Duke is 16-2 in the event all time and Benedict Arnold is 0-3 since joining the Big 14.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Kentucky, Please take it easy on UCLA.

Nobody should ever take it easy on that piece of shit Alford.

 

[thefro]

So tonight at the IU/UNC game at Bloomington:

- Jim Cornelison (IU alum who sings the national anthem at Chicago Blackhawks games) is singing the National Anthem
- Kyle Schwarber (IU alum and World Series champ with the Cubs) is honorary team captain
- 1981 Championship team being honored (which includes Isiah Thomas and the like)

Should be pretty hype. Dan Dakich was teasing Bobby Knight might show up, but I'm guessing he's trolling for his radio show as usual.

 

[truly101]

Tonight should be entertaining. UNC is better than I thought, but they're also the most experienced so other teams haven't caught up yet. Still, they have a couple of good young players too.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Obviously the highlight of tonight slate of games is UM vs VA Tech. It's going to be a clash of TITANS!

 

[Fjordson]

I want to be excited about UK, but trying to hold off until we play some real teams. UCLA and UNC should be a good pair of games.

 

[NaturalHigh]

Haven't got to see Lville play this year. Who is the big tall guy that looks lazy as all hell and could care less to be playing?

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

My Muskies are playing Baylor this weekend.
Hope we win.
Also go Cards.

 

[NaturalHigh]

Mahmood the guy that just got hit with an elbow is the tall guy I was asking about. God that guy pisses me off, I cant imagine having him on UK I'd be losing my shit, lol.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Inspired performance tonight by the Best Team in The ACC
