8 UNC @ 1 Duke game thread

[LetsGoDuke301]

Man I hope. This is brutal. Should be up 20.

At least.

 

[imajericho]

Nike probably lost signing Zion to shoe deal too. So many repercussions from that.

 

[UNC71-00]

If you had told me that Carolina would be 0-12 and White would be scoreless at this point in the first half, I would have gone to bed at 8:30

 

[Scotty00]

Damn, people paid that much money to see Zion play and they only get a few seconds worth lol. Hope he’s ok.

 

[GE Nole]

I really hope Zion isn’t severely hurt. But if he is, does Duke lose their 1 seed? I remember the committee did that with Cincy one year when Kenyon went down.

 

[AWilli6995]

Do you UNC heat fans not watch basketball. Roy whines as well, as do many many coaches. Not sure why that bothers you so much.

Shut your ass up!

 

[kyjeff1]

Only thing we do well and we absolutely suck at it this game. That and our best scorer has been absolutely terrible.

Dude, how are you complaining? All of your posts are negative about your team. UNC is winning the game in Cameron. They were up by 11 and you were complaining.

I get it, you feel like UNC is going to throw it away, but I think your guys are manning up honestly.

No. Duke still has 3 first round picks and 2 top 5 ones.

It is therapeutic.

I hope Zion misses the rest of the season but is okay in time for the combine and the draft.

 

[GE Nole]

No. Duke still has 3 first round picks and 2 top 5 ones.

But what if they lost 2-3 games?

Didn't Kenyon break his leg right before the tournament though?

If Zion is out for the season, Duke still has a team full of all Americans. It will be on their shoulders to earn that 1 seed.

Do any of Duke's freshmen trust AOC?

You'd think they'd like a liberal.

 

[ExitFlagger]

Did I just see Obama?

 

[kyjeff1]

Did I just see Obama?

Yes

 

[RR30]

Did I just see Obama?

 

[kyjeff1]

Man, there are some concrete blocks hitting the backboards in this game. Sheesh.

 

[sgrooms]

Did I just see Obama?

Where have you been all day?

Cannot believe Johnson missed that damn dunk/layup. Then lucky finish.

First year watching CBB? The committee wouldn't dare.

But what if they lost 2-3 games?

Those losses don't count if Zion is injured.

 

[kyjeff1]

Wow, what a finish to the half. Sloppy as hell, but what a great dunk to make up for the missed finger role.

These teams can really get up and down the floor in a hurry.

I think he does that Incase UNC blows chokes lol

 

[IUfanBorden]

Well that ending was a......."damn.......Fvck.....Yes......Hell yeah" for UNC fans.

 

[RR30]

Garrison "PJ Washington" Brooks

PJ is good though

 

[Velo1]

Scary thought - does Zion shut it down for remainder of the year and wiat for draft?

I doubt it, but I can hear his advisors advocating it.

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

What a shit ending to the half. For me anyways.

 

[imajericho]

Those losses don't count if Zion is injured.

If he is out for the season the losses would count a ton. If he is out til just the tourney, they wouldn't much. Etc.

Yes. And you nailed it. The Kenyon Rule.

 

[UNC71-00]

That was as ugly as could be on both sides and still up 10. Not sure what to think

His injury doesn't look good. The way he grabbed the back of his calf is never a good thing.

It's like some of you don't follow cbb.

 

[Scotty00]

Well, that was prolly one of the worst half’s of basketball I’ve ever seen but there’s always the second half I guess. UNC looks to be in control so far.

 

[kyjeff1]

I think he does that Incase UNC blows chokes lol

Yeah, I understand it. I've been known to do that a little during late round tournament games.

This game here has some high stakes, so I understand it. UNC is keeping Duke at arm's length though.

They certainly count if he’s not able to play again this season.

 

[jhmossy]

Without Zion, Duke will drop to a 2 seed in Kentucky's bracket. Zion comes back for Elite 8 game and Duke wins by 35.

 

[kyjeff1]

Well that ending was a......."damn.......Fvck.....Yes......Hell yeah" for UNC fans.

Ha ha, well put.

 

[coryfly]

Nah, just the way I am. I need to vent. Ask the UNC guys who have seen me post during games. Always like this.

Both teams could feel lucky since both teams have shot so terrible from outside. The difference is UNC is actually a good shooting team, though some of their missed can probably be linked to some decent pressure out there.

 

[J. Rambo]

i enjoy watching duke lose as much as the next guy, but not like this. hope he’s not done for the season.
