JMU will send Duke home on Sunday

[bignish]

Even as the resident Duke Homer I can’t see us winning this game. JMU too hungry were mental midgets.

Cooper Flagg and Khaman Malauch are coming next year though. If we get McCain back, Duke will absolutely demolish everyone.

Uk will meet you at the rim.

Yeah, any win beyond yesterday is gravy on my expectations. I genuinely can’t imagine this team playing Houston’s physicality

Too much finesse on this team, not enough grit. I'd be content with winning one more game. My expectations aren't too great, which is nice, because a loss won't be crushing.

If we're able to face Houston, I certainly wouldn't like our odds. One thing that might go in our favor, however, is the fact that Houston is now limited to 2 bigs, Javier Francis and J'Wan Roberts. Tuggle had a season-ending injury a few weeks ago. And Roberts has been banged up. Getting those bigs in foul trouble could be huge in a potential matchup. Shead is a monster, though. He'd wreak havoc on our guards. It'd be a rough shooting night.

Skeptical. Hopeful . . . but skeptical

I have JMU in the S16 in my bracket, but I had them beating Vermont tomorrow, not Puke.

I picked them(JMU) to the SW 16 on every bracket I have(6)----Have them in the E8 once. Theyre a very good team----that IMO, was severely underseeded.

Yeah, we're toast. I don't know wtf happened to Filipowski... 37 minutes Friday and 1 shot that didn't go in.

I don't even know what this means...

He played 37 minutes and shot the ball once. It did not go into the basket. Also Duke isn't good.

 

[GhostOf301]

Best start of any game this year. Second half is going to be depressing.

 

[Noahtogo24]

MCcain is insane for Duke

[IUfanBorden]

Did not exoect this....Duke insane from deep----Especially McCain. 6-6.

Yikes.

 

[Demarcus Kidd-Miller]

Looks like the reverse jinx is working out for bignish.

Damn....No need today with Jared "Lucas the Rifle Man" McCain go all Steph Curry

 

[tw3301]

We'll blow it in the second half.

 

[IUfanBorden]

We'll blow it in the second half.

Ummm, yeah.



No.


Duke has looked very good today. Which tends to happen when a dude is on fire like McCain.

 

[jhmossy]

Another terrible hot take by @bignish

He’s not smart enough to make this a reverse jinx either. He legit believed it

 

[GhostOf301]

Really, that was Blakes' fault for being an idiot. Should have just been a regular foul.

I felt JMU would/could beat them. Good basketball team. Duke just shot lights out---especially McCain.

 

[tw3301]

We will score 45 points total next game. Let's go Aggies.

 

[GhostOf301]

Duke has reached their ceiling. At this point, let them play the best teams left and see how it plays out.

 

[LVPack]

Actually, OP was right. JMU did send Duke home today. They'll fly back to Durham, NC, then later this week they'll fly out to Dallas for the South Regional.
