damn, im glad i was playing disc golf instead of watching this garbage...well now im watching this garbage, but i dont think Lowe and our players have grasped the idea that defense is when you dont have the ball and the purpose is to stop them from scoring
1/20/2007 5:31:07 PM
costner jumping out of his way was super.
1/20/2007 5:31:22 PM
dont worry, Ferguson is back in.

i drink equally, and I always have access to alcohol. That is important.

burrelson looked happy as ever[Edited on January 20, 2007 at 5:33 PM. Reason : and so does DT]
1/20/2007 5:32:58 PM
burleson could probably suit up and play a lot better than some of the guys who are out there right now
1/20/2007 5:33:59 PM
Burleson is probably having second thoughts about all the things he said about Sendek now.
1/20/2007 5:34:31 PM

David Thompson is thinking that he didn't do enough cocaine before the game to suffer through the second half.
1/20/2007 5:37:27 PM
just about all of our points have come from freethrows
1/20/2007 5:38:04 PM
scheyer was the leading scorer...what a disgrace, any team with a white guy who can launch 3s has to be salivating when he sees his team is playing ours next
1/20/2007 5:38:11 PM
black guys who can launch threes are probably equally excited
1/20/2007 5:39:18 PM
yes, you are prob right
1/20/2007 5:40:07 PM
we got this
1/20/2007 5:42:00 PM
WE WIN!!!
1/20/2007 5:42:42 PM
my pre-game prediction was WAY off
1/20/2007 5:42:59 PM
most teams salivate when they see us on their schedule this year anyway.
1/20/2007 5:43:14 PM
Thank god we beat wake, or people might think that we were the worst team in the ACC.

Is it really necessary to tell the nation every 5 mins that a hockey team plays in our coliseum?
1/20/2007 5:44:12 PM
we didn't give them anything else (that's not negative) to talk about.
1/20/2007 5:46:16 PM
1/20/2007 5:48:18 PM
i was actually glad they did that, they couldve easily kept talking about how our players didnt look like they wanted to be there, or suck on D, or even suck off Duke...but they chose to talk about zambonis...w00t musburger
1/20/2007 5:51:59 PM
At least I sat across the aisle from Tom O'Brien, Chris Simms, and Matt Simms, haha.
1/20/2007 6:02:43 PM
I'm guessing matt simms isn't coming here.
1/20/2007 6:06:46 PM
^^that a kid
1/20/2007 6:16:53 PM
didnt get a chance to watch, but I heard that State basically gave up, were backing away at the end and just letting them drive in
1/20/2007 6:36:34 PM
damn this thread is only 7 pages. You guys are disappointing me.
1/20/2007 6:38:31 PM
did we win?
1/20/2007 6:41:32 PM
i miss herb

something tells me we lost
1/20/2007 6:47:05 PM
1/20/2007 6:49:51 PM
yeah, i'd say, lossbut that was a given

It was also pretty gay to see people in our student section wearing duke shirts....
1/20/2007 7:40:08 PM
dammit people, it isn't like we're stacked with talent/experience this year...I mean, if we had 4 baboons and a chimpanzee as starters, yall would still get upset if we lost a game.
1/20/2007 7:41:03 PM
I was in section 312 and there seemed to be more people in carolina shirts than duke. They did catch hell though.
1/20/2007 7:42:46 PM
It was ALSO pretty gay to see people in our student section wearing Carolina shirts
1/20/2007 7:44:29 PM
No need to worry too much. We needed Atsur today. Duke is the best defense in the country and you absolutely can't do any lazy passes against them. They were -"on"- offensively and when they're "on" offensively its gonna be tough for anybody to beat them. This was one of the top 3 games Duke has played all season. It seems like every team plays their a-game against state.
1/20/2007 8:16:22 PM
Duke played well but it's no coincidence that other teams have their 'best games' against us. We have absolutely ZERO defensive intensity and when the shots aren't falling we will lose... and big. Just the way it's going to be this year.I really hope Lowe is as intense about the defense as he is about offense.. because to this point we are a very soft defensive team.
1/20/2007 8:18:06 PM
he's been in the NBA too long where defense is a myth....its gonna take some time
1/20/2007 8:20:16 PM
hire a defensive coordinator
1/20/2007 8:22:36 PM
^^^, ^^. agreed.sids definitely doin a pretty lackluster job with his team's defense this year. but what differentiates him from herb is that we can have hope that he will actually adjust. he's said plenty of times b/f that he's open to new new schemes and some change, so im guessing he and his staff can figure out something that works. doesn't help that we've got costner and fells out there playing d either. i dont think lousy d will be a trademark of the lowe era.[Edited on January 20, 2007 at 8:28 PM.

1/20/2007 8:27:36 PM
i hate those long wild passes that seem to be the norm
1/20/2007 8:30:51 PM
Do you guys remember early in the season one of Sidney's main points was about defensive intensity, because, and I am paraphrasing here, you're gonna have bad shooting nights but if you play hard defense you can stay in the game until the shots start falling. I think he knows that this is a big problem but it seems like our guys are never playing with full intensity due to lack of depth and trying to last most of the game. I think this is just one of those things that we're gonna have to bear through for a season and see how things are going once Sid fills out his own roster....
