...this is the first time Duke's lost three in a row since 1989.

Is that true?

If so, AHA!

GO MARYLAND!

2/7/2007 11:08:40 PM

he said 96 i thought?

2/7/2007 11:08:41 PM

I dunno. But I heard the part where they were talking about the history of the rivalry and how Smith went 16-1 on Duke and then 8-1 on Coach K Duke...and I was thinking, "Way to reveal that this rivalry has no history at all, dumbass..."

2/7/2007 11:10:28 PM

fuck duke AND maryland

2/7/2007 11:10:33 PM

he said, 96

2/7/2007 11:13:40 PM

1996. LOL. I dunno why I heard 89 cause that would just be crazy.

McRoberts is such a little bitch. And I can't wait to see if Maryland can show Duke their fourth loss.

I can't wait for the weekend! ACC basketball makes me so happy.

2/7/2007 11:14:43 PM

I think 89 was the record for both Duke and UNC coming in with a loss. I can't remember

[Edited on February 7, 2007 at 11:15 PM. Reason : .]

2/7/2007 11:15:21 PM

thew thats correct

2/7/2007 11:19:04 PM

96 is the first time theyve lost 3 in a row at home at least

2/7/2007 11:19:57 PM

For the record, Dean Smith did not go 8-1 vs. Coach K.

kkthx

uh no, that would be 2003

2/7/2007 11:30:41 PM

89 was the last time they'd lost two in a row (in conference) heading into the UNC game

2/7/2007 11:35:42 PM

After UMD Dook has @ BC. 5 losses in a row would be awesome!

2/7/2007 11:49:11 PM

i just read the recap on ESPN and i thought it said 96

2/8/2007 12:11:54 AM

Where in the hell did they come up with some of those numbers?

K was 1-8 against Dean Smith? I think they played just a few more times than that.

Oh well fuck them all.

"Freshman Jon Scheyer had a career-high 26 points for the Blue Devils (18-6, 5-5), who have lost three straight games for the first time since 1999 - when they lost to Connecticut in the NCAA championship and opened the 1999-2000 season with two straight losses. Last year, Hansbrough led a youth-laden group into Cameron to close the regular season and spoil All-American J.J. Redick's final home game in an 83-76 win. And once again, the Tar Heels rallied from a double-digit deficit and came up with the game's big baskets in the final minutes. It was a strong way to bounce back after an surprising weekend loss to North Carolina State - an 83-79 setback that had an irked coach Roy Williams calling his team "fat and happy" afterward. He won't be saying that now. After trailing by as many as 10 points early in the second half, the Tar Heels hung around by constantly subbing in an endless stream of fresh bodies while pressuring Duke's ballhandlers the entire way. By the time the game was entering its final minutes, North Carolina looked fresher and found ways to knock down the critical shots. North Carolina took its first lead at 62-60 when Gerald Henderson was whistled for a goaltending on Reyshawn Terry's fast-break layup with 5:15 left, then pushed the lead to 64-60 when Wright knocked in a tough shot over Josh McRoberts on the next possession. Duke managed to close the gap to 64-63 shot in the lane from Henderson, then looked poised to go ahead when DeMarcus Nelson got to the foul line after a turnover. But Nelson missed both shots - part of a 3-for-10 effort on free throws in the second half - and Hansbrough knocked down a straightaway jumper on the next play to make it 66-63 with 3:15 left. That started a six-point run from the Tar Heels, who took their largest lead at 70-63 on Lawson's driving basket while drawing the foul for a three-point play with 1:46 left. Lawson followed with a driving basket against three defenders on the next possession, and the Tar Heels went 7-for-8 at the line to seal it. At the other end, the Blue Devils were left with their first in-season three-game losing skid since the 1995-96 season."

2/8/2007 12:15:40 AM

The stat is that K started his career 1-8 against North Carolina after he was hired by Tom Butters and Duke in 1980

2/8/2007 12:18:23 AM

at one point (it might have been pre-game) they had stats on both teams on the screen. It def. said that both UNC and Duke have 3 national titles to their name. I thought it was pretty good justice since UNC tries to claim 5 when they only have 4. So why not just say they have 3 and it'll work out

2/8/2007 12:34:15 AM

I musta been going crazy. Cause I heard that against Duke without Coach K (I wil never bother to learn the names of these other coaches) Smith went 16-1, and against Coach K, Smith went 8-1...(in the beginning?)

(They pretty much put a spotlight on how this really isn't a historical rivalry at all. Duke sucks is all they were saying.)

[Edited on February 8, 2007 at 1:14 AM. Reason : sss]

2/8/2007 1:11:47 AM

Smith started 8-1 and then finished probably around .600

2/8/2007 1:14:13 AM

So Duke sucks?

2/8/2007 1:14:36 AM

they'll always suck in my opinion






...and they all have the aids

2/8/2007 1:21:40 AM

I heard that some of the players object to BJs.

But it's true...they all do have AIDS.

[Edited on February 8, 2007 at 1:25 AM. Reason : Coach K is the infective link...it's kinda sad actually.]

2/8/2007 1:53:53 AM

ah.. that makes more since

2/8/2007 2:02:26 AM

that 1996 season for Duke was the one where Coach K had some sort of problem with his back and missed the whole season, right?

i remember the joke that year was "how does a Duke fan count to ten?"

0-1, 0-2, 0-3, 0-4, .....

i think they lost a ton of conference games that season....

2/8/2007 8:12:33 AM

You know they can't fire Coach K, he's a legend...I just wonder if he will consider stepping down if this season tanks.

2/8/2007 9:26:23 AM

Haha, dude what are you smoking.

His team is performing AS EXPECTED for once and you ask if he should step down.

Why would he?

2/8/2007 9:33:59 AM

one of them, last night got NCSU and BC confused
one of the commentators said, BC has 4 guys avg. almost 40 minutes a game...hahaha

dumbass

2/8/2007 10:27:22 AM

ahaha at Roys comments after the game

Quote :

"Williams sounded a tad defensive when asked for the umpteenth time about how he uses his rotation. "Everybody keeps telling me I'm stupid for doing it, but we're doing all right," he said. "As a coach, I only have one rule. I'm going to play who I want at that specific time for that specific job. Next time we lose, everybody will say you play too many players. I've got guys calling in on call-in shows, saying, 'If I was the coach.' Well hell, you're not the coach. I'm the coach and I'm going to do what I want to do.""

i think thats something every coach would like to say at some point

gg

2/8/2007 10:42:31 AM

very few are in the position to do so though wihout getting
in trouble

2/8/2007 11:09:05 AM

i know thats why more dont

still made me lol when i read it

2/8/2007 11:11:48 AM

anybody else watch it? i thought when he said it.. it was very casual. wasn't being defensive in my opinion at all.

































anyways, EAT SHIT ............ YOU STILL LOST NCSTATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2/8/2007 11:46:04 AM

you mean, "anyways, EAT SHIT ............ YOU STILL LOST [to] NCSTATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" in reference to UNC

[Edited on February 8, 2007 at 11:52 AM. Reason : .]

2/8/2007 11:51:31 AM

I don't feel like reading this whole thread, but did anyone else notice how they kept showing the history highlights from games that UNC won. I don't think they showed a single one that Duke won. Damn UNC biased media.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

2/8/2007 2:12:30 PM

^ I noticed.

Seemed they could've at least shown Duhon's sprint.

2/8/2007 3:13:30 PM

2/8/2007 3:53:15 PM

Duke lost three games in a row in 1999.

The National Championship game to UConn. The opening game in a tourney to Stanford. The consolation game in the tourney to UConn.

Well to be fair, since the two dumbfucks were kicked off the team they hardly use their bench..
