i have no idea the outcome of this game since maryland has unexpectedly won 3 in a row against Duke. gilchrist had alot to do with that but i have a feeling Marylands gonna come to play...AGAIN and this will be a great game.

can strawberry contain jj again?
can Duke bigs stay out of foul troble?
can paulus effectivly defend a bigger stronger guard?
can nelson control caner medly?

another reason maryland has so much sucess against Duke recently is because gary williams teams usually do a great job at doubling/helping without giving up anything easy. watch them rotate tonight and ull see what i mean. its wierd.

I bet Maryland doesn't hang with Duke. They have no point guard and love to turn the ball over. The last thing you want to do when you play Duke is give them extra possessions and allow them to score points off turnovers.

The Terps need one guy to get extrememly hot and light Duke up for about 30 points. That's the only way they stay competitive in this game.

Duke is going to rape the shit out of UMD

it wont even be close

1/11/2006 6:34:04 PM

Maybe Maryland will beat Duke both times this year again so they can make the NIT.

1/11/2006 6:36:52 PM

MYRA PIGGIE!!! CLAP...CLAP...CLAP

Maryland will come in pissed after Miami embarrassed them over the weekend. It will be a tight game.

1/11/2006 7:27:30 PM

Maryland is gonna fuck Duke up

1/11/2006 7:45:51 PM

-snicker-

1/11/2006 8:18:08 PM

I think the only way maryland is going to be even close is if Duke is shooting 35% or lower from the 3pt line.

1/11/2006 8:20:37 PM

i hope maryland fucks redick up. lets see some thug shit

1/11/2006 8:20:38 PM

I hate MD with a burning passion, so tonight GO DUKE

1/11/2006 8:58:13 PM

my feelings are no different than prior years...

assuming duke is untouchable as far as conference standings...every time duke beats someone in the acc, its good for the pack

1/11/2006 9:05:02 PM

ahaha

someone broke Dickie V's microphone

1/11/2006 9:07:47 PM

I hope Dick's mic stays out!

1/11/2006 9:07:48 PM

how many away games does duke play a season...2?

1/11/2006 9:11:11 PM

8 in the conference, just like everyone else

they were just on the road like 3 days ago

1/11/2006 9:11:45 PM

just doesn't seem right that the number one team's toughest road trip so far is Bloomington Indiana

but then again it's nothing new

1/11/2006 9:14:33 PM

1/11/2006 9:16:26 PM

HAHA come on Clemson. Wake will surely fall outta the rankings if they lose to them.

yeah they suck

current rating is #8

1/11/2006 9:21:14 PM

i didnt think wake was rated

maybe in 1 poll

1/11/2006 9:21:58 PM

LOL there it is Clemson 74 Wake 73. Take that Zombie Nation!

1/11/2006 9:23:30 PM

not looking too good for my team right now

1/11/2006 9:24:47 PM

Demarcus Ware! A Cowboy got love during a Duke game.

I can't decide which team I want to win, so maybe Osama will blow Cameron up.

1/11/2006 9:28:41 PM

cant get much better than that. what do you expect. the best two teams to play early every year on a non nuetral court?

1/11/2006 9:33:39 PM

it kills me that redick refuses to dunk the basketball.

1/11/2006 9:45:31 PM

it kills me that Coach K can say whatever he wants. I don't see why he bitches anyway when the vast majority of the calls go his way.

1/11/2006 9:47:50 PM

Thats the gayest thing Ive ever seen...signing the center of the court???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

1/11/2006 9:47:55 PM

Who is claiming that Dukes schedule isnt tough? Texas and Memphis were at neutral sites. Indiana was on the road. What the hell else do you want out of a non-conference schedule?

1/11/2006 9:49:18 PM

Mike Patrick literally just creamed his pants.

** oh and where did all these Duke fans come from this year. There was like one on here in the past... ya know since Duke IS one of our biggest rivals and all.

1/11/2006 9:53:26 PM

Yes he did.

1/11/2006 9:54:50 PM

socrates is the only Duke fan in this thread I think.

1/11/2006 9:55:58 PM

what about me?

1/11/2006 9:57:49 PM

if duke doesnt predict whose gonna be the best team at the end of the season and shchedule them and @ uconn every season their schedule is weak

1/11/2006 10:03:57 PM

there have been several dook fans on this board over the years

1/11/2006 10:06:03 PM

duke is mean.


you know what's worse than the princeton offense -- no offense at all the turnover offense. Everyone on their team is gavin grant.

1/11/2006 10:08:00 PM

don't forget me either...

Talk about tough schedules, we took on Memphis in the finals of the Preseason NIT, Indiana on the road, and Texas, who was then #2, at a neutral site. So, don't ever go saying that Duke never plays anybody good non-conference.

1/11/2006 10:08:08 PM

People that rag on Duke's schedule are idiots. They are consistently in the top ten, usually top five, when it comes to strength of schedule.

1/11/2006 10:10:58 PM

I hope injury wins this one

1/11/2006 10:11:38 PM

^^^their argument is that "coach k doesnt schedule (willingly) non conference games on the opponents court" and i dont think teams are forced to play int eh challenge either. duke couldve forfitted their right over to bc for the challenge.

"there are no 45 degrees in a banana"

i must be out of the loop

1/11/2006 10:19:17 PM

maryland jacks up 3s like we do, except they dont have 3 point shooters

1/11/2006 10:30:51 PM

this game blows

so right...

and you're right, this is pretty boring...

1/11/2006 10:38:55 PM

what about JJ not dunking?

1/11/2006 10:55:29 PM

How bout the triple double, pretty impressive with 10 blocks. Wow i hope demarcus is going to be okay. They are a much better team with him on the court. He is such a good defender and athlete. They need him to go really deep in march.
