Why didn't Roy head to the locker room early to avoid the court storming?

2/20/2014 11:17:08 PM

shameful

2/20/2014 11:17:34 PM

Sulamion sucked, Dawkins should have been in way more, was he even on the floor the second half?

2/20/2014 11:19:07 PM

why are you dickbags even watching this?

2/20/2014 11:20:00 PM

Wow, court storm, really?

Gotta hand it to UNC. They played really good defense, and Paige did just enough on offense. That guy is really, really good. Duke missed some easy shots in the 2nd half.

the Crazies stormed their court when they beat VT back in '05

LOL

2/20/2014 11:23:29 PM

i cant even remember a time when VT had a basketball team worth a shit. probably before my time

2/20/2014 11:25:47 PM

shit, that team had Zabian Dowdell and Deron Washington

best team they've had since the Dell Curry days

2/20/2014 11:28:26 PM

It wasn't really about VT ... it was about Dockery hitting a half-court shot at the buzzer to win. Crazy ass ending. Still weird to rush the court.

2/20/2014 11:28:31 PM

didn't that vt team eventually win the acc regular season? or was that a later year.

2/20/2014 11:29:22 PM

did VT ever win a 'regular season title' in the ACC?

2/20/2014 11:34:57 PM

Remember when teams stormed the court against us last year, and we ended up sucking dick?

2/20/2014 11:35:19 PM

yes i do. it actually felt nice for a change. it actually was also a nice change to hear folks talk about us on college basketball radio as well lol. all thats out the window for a while

Yeah, we were so "good" that I think it was like 3 weeks in a row that fans rushed the court after beating us.

2/20/2014 11:47:18 PM

^^mambagrl might be confusing basketball with football for some reason

2/20/2014 11:48:12 PM

Yep, I had a front-row seat to the WFU court rush. Good times.

2/20/2014 11:49:54 PM

in 2007 virginia tech had the acc regular season won and then lost their last 2 games to finish a game behind. they beat duke that year in cameron.

2/20/2014 11:55:27 PM

hot-button sports radio discussions

court-storming
elite quarterbacks
mount rushmores
Peyton Manning a choker

2/20/2014 11:56:47 PM

^^so in other words, not only is there no such thing as an acc regular season title, but VT never won it

got it

2/21/2014 12:09:33 AM

they choked so hard that i had already written their title into my long term memory.

2/21/2014 12:14:53 AM

FTs 31-12 UNC

2/21/2014 12:15:07 AM

because duke was playing street ball the whole game. isoisoiso. jack3.

[Edited on February 21, 2014 at 12:18 AM. Reason : never thought i would say that duke+street ball = wtf]

2/21/2014 12:17:29 AM

lol at the ft differential in that game. and Parker's fourth foul will forever infuriate me. Duke's offense played like shit in the second half.

what really annoys me about this loss is I just don't think this UNC team is good.

[Edited on February 21, 2014 at 12:49 AM. Reason : ]

2/21/2014 12:49:05 AM

They just stick around until the other team implodes

2/21/2014 1:01:47 AM

roy is just such a legendary coach he has managed to turn them around. they are on right now. 8 in a row.

2/21/2014 1:07:42 AM

^^^ UNC won the game because they took almost three times as many FTs as Duke.

2/21/2014 1:15:48 AM

Good night guys. #GDTBAWP

2/21/2014 1:30:55 AM

UNC got Kendall Marshall...we got Ryan Harrow.

UNC got Marcus Paige...we got Tyler Lewis.

Each year, the two guys we got were pretty closely ranked. Their two guys are starting for the Lakers and leading their teams to win over the top 4 teams in the nation. Our two guys are playing for Georgia State and going back and forth from starting and bench mode. Even when we seemingly recruit as well as they do...it doesn't work out.

2/21/2014 1:52:21 AM

are you saying that we dont out recruit UNC?

thats amazinggggg.

sarcasm.

Maybe our talent evaluations aren't good on the high school level.

2/21/2014 2:20:52 AM

Actually he is saying that we have recruited similarly ranked players and their improvement and development have been poor in comparison.

^^^^ Duke scores 40% of their points from three on the year. There is no world that they should EVER shoot a similar amount of FTs to a team that plays like UNC. Parker's fourth foul was bs but so was JMMs. Also, Parker was awful last night despite his double double.

That 7-8 minute stretch for Duke where they couldn't hit anything was the worst effort I've seen from Duke for as long as I can remember. They got a TON of wide-open looks and just couldn't hit anything. I can appreciate UNC's hustle but their D wasn't overly impressive to me. They definitely hustled their ass off and out-worked Duke on the offensive boards, but if Duke would have hit even 30% of their wide open shots in that 8 minute stretch they'd have probably won that game.

2/21/2014 7:01:57 AM

Did Amile Jefferson play? I honestly don't remember seeing him do.... anything.

2/21/2014 7:24:50 AM

he had three first half fouls

2/21/2014 7:48:00 AM

yeah Amile Jefferson would have been a perfect NC State player

2/21/2014 8:38:58 AM

harrow was a 3* when we recruited and I dont wtf happened with Lewis' ranking. I'm pretty sure if he was from Iowa he wouldnt have been as highly thought of. A lot of the so called recruiting experts being from NC can cause some local kids to get overhyped

Not really fair comparisons. Harrow was only here a year and was painfully skinny. He wasn't going to "develop" anywhere. I think his time at UK and wherever he is now proves that.

Lewis is a good player who will never be great because his size and athletic limitations. He can be a solid PG, but he'll never be elite, no matter how much he develops.

UNC has definitely done a good job with PGs, but it's not like everyone at UNC "develops" into a good player. Just look at Larry Drew and Dexter Strickland -- highly ranked guards who didn't really do squat at UNC.

Then there's McAdoo. He was regarded as elite when he got to UNC -- a top-5 pick -- and now he'll be lucky to be picked in the first round. He's basically the same player he was when he got to UNC. He might have actually regressed ... even though he's playing a little better lately. Kind of.

2/21/2014 9:31:19 AM

i don't know if larry drew is a good example. He went on to do pretty well at UCLA

2/21/2014 10:00:24 AM

Need to give Tyler the growth hormone that Messi got...

2/21/2014 10:02:17 AM

^^was that due to his growth at UNC?

maybe you missed the first half where Duke was taking it to the rack on most plays. really it was more on the first 5 minutes of the second where Duke was called for 6-7 super cheap fouls that put UNC in the bonus at the 14 minute mark. whatever though. even with shitty refs and not scoring for 8 minutes, Duke still could have won. no idea why Sulaimon played 35 minutes while Dawkin rode the bench the entire second half. complete choke.

That was kind of the point. He wasn't terrible his soph year at UNC, but he wasn't good either. Every fan I knew hated him. But by his final year at UCLA, he was a really good player.

If he were from Iowa he probably would have had better stats actually.

I think he was highly thought of because of this...

Named the 2012 Virginia Gatorade Player of the Year ... captured the Powerade Jam Fest skills competition title ... played his senior season at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va. ... led the Warriors to a 44-0 record ... averaged 12.0 points, 7.9 assists and 2.4 rebounds ... averaged 15.0 points and 4.8 assists to help Oak Hill win the Les Schwab Invitational crown ... named the Schwab Invitational MVP ...was the 2011 runner-up for the North Carolina Associated Press Player of the Year ... two-time North Carolina AP All-State Men's Prep Basketball Team selection, a two-time NCISAA all-state member, a two-time PACIS Conference Player of the Year and a two-time MaxPreps.com All-American ... averaged 27.2 points, 7.4 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals in his final season at Forsyth ... posted a 40-point performance at the Tournament of Champions while playing for Team Loaded ... averaged 27.2 points over four games in the Tournament of Champions ..

cuse just got royally skullfucked by the refs. unbelieveable.

2/22/2014 8:59:46 PM

That's such bullshit.

2/22/2014 9:01:25 PM

that was clearly a charge. dick vitale is a stupid motherfucker. boeheim can't believe he's not getting every call. welcome to cameron.

2/22/2014 9:03:21 PM

it was clearly a 50/50 call

agreed on boeheim though. he cost his team any chance at a comeback.

2/22/2014 9:04:54 PM

Wow Duke beat Cuse in Cameron. Shocker. THE RIVALRY INTENSIFIES

2/22/2014 9:05:55 PM

he should have done that on the cat charge call.
