April 3, 201412 yr Yeah well, you ain't in the family. Maybe he'll take over for Cal when he goes to the Knicks next year. :lol2: You're so dead set on keeping it in the family...you do realize the school that is notorious for doing that, right? I think you want to be just like them. :wave:
April 3, 201412 yr You're so dead set on keeping it in the family...you do realize the school that is notorious for doing that, right? I think you want to be just like them. :wave: Some things can only be handled by those who know what it means to be a member in that family. I don't know which school you are talking about but I have zero problems with being called a "copycat" when it comes to keeping it in the family. Those are the people who know exactly what Duke basketball is all about and those ones that played and coached under Coach K should know exactly how to perserve the program that he elevated to the level it is at now. I hate you. :lol2:

April 3, 201412 yr If Duke stays in house they will just be a regular Division 1 college. Except for 2010 and the late 80's ,early 90's they are basically that now. As much as I like K, he has underacheieved way too much for me, they should be expected to be Elite 8, at the least every year and every year I pick them to go out in the 2nd or 3rd round and will do the same next year with all that talent, Jabari included
April 3, 201412 yr I don't think Donavon is leaving Florida, especially if he get's #3 this weekend. He could stay right where he is and win 900 games, maybe another title or two and honestly end up a legend in the sport without ever having to pack up and leave. Florida is still a football school,always will be

My expectations change for each team every season. The only team I have been disappointed in was the 2011 team. Other than that I haven't been surprised with the outcome of any season. I was surprised in 2010.

Well except for all that success in the 50's and 60's, and that good '78 team, and the occasional good '96, '98, and '12 team, UK has been very very average...... Please tell me you are joking with such garbage.
April 3, 201412 yr Duke needs exceptional guard play to make noise in the tourney, that has been lacking here lately......if Kyrie were healthy all year, I feel they would've made a strong case to repeat.....alas it didn't happen....too many people make generalized statements as if it's easy to get to the Elite 8 every year.

Exactly. Some people take for granted that this run that Cal is on is what is supposed to happen every year at elite programs. It's not that simple or easy at all.

Please tell me you are joking with such garbage. I have completely lost faith in K as a Coach long before the embarrassing losses to Lehigh and Mercer. Duke should have never lost to UConn and Indiana(forget the years), but at least they were in the Final 4 I believe. No one is a bigger fan or basher of Duke than myself. I have taken up for them more than I can recall over all of the many things that come with Duke, whether it be referees,Vitale,Laettner,etc. anything stupid or inmature that others fan bases dwell on year after year, but I have no answer for all of K's underachieving basically since UK and Tubby upset them in the late 90's. There is no answer for early exit losses after great seasons to Eastern Michigan,VCU,Belmont,Lehigh and Mercer since then. I have absolutely zero confidence that with what they have next year that the results won't be the same

I have absolutely zero confidence that with what they have next year that the results won't be the same Wow. You're a Duke fan and you're mad about 5 losses that happened over a 16 year time span? Wow. It's probably a good thing you aren't a fan of any other top program as I believe they all have been to the NIT at least once since 1998 or have underachieved at some point in that same time span. Tough crowd....... The Indiana loss was 2002 at Rupp. The UConn loss was 2004 I believe and Duke was actually an underdog in that game. Duhon nailed a meaningless 3 at the end of the game and it didn't allow the spread to be covered. That meaningless 3 ruined everyone who bet on UConn to cover. :lol2:
April 4, 201412 yr Since they lost to Tubby in 1998, his resume is as follows: 2 titles 4 final fours 1 elite eight 7 sweet 16's That's hall of fame, ALONE. But yet he mentions Fred Hoiberg as a Coach K replacement. :lol2:
