February 8, 200818 yr Would have been a different outcome with Lawson. I agree only if Lawson is healthy. QT drives me nuts... I am glad Roy is bringing in PGs each of the next 3 years...

February 8, 200818 yr Would have been a different outcome with Lawson. I will only say this, maybe. UNC has some glaring weaknesses on defense, their spacing is horrible, they give up many open looks from the perimeter, and seem to be "chasing" the ball alot. IFF a team like Duke is hot, they are going to struggle, with or without Lawson being healthy.

IFF a team like Duke is hot, they are going to struggle, with or without Lawson being healthy. I agree. I only watched the 2nd half, but several times Duke penetrated and I was like, where is the help defense? Its a problem for UNC. Obviously Coach Williams is a great coach, so I would think he will work to fix that. The biggest thing with Lawson is he is the type of player that has given Duke fits, really since Duhon graduated. They have problems with really quick guards.
February 8, 200818 yr Picked the Tarheels. Duke beat them at their own game. UNC did miss Lawson, so the tables could be turned March 8. I am sorry. It is Sunday March 9th that they meet again.
February 8, 200818 yr Author With or without Lawson playing...A 11 point win at Chapel hill is VERY impressive.
February 8, 200818 yr The biggest thing with Lawson is he is the type of player that has given Duke fits, really since Duhon graduated. They have problems with really quick guards. ..and this is why I love Derek Smith.
February 8, 200818 yr I am sorry. It is Sunday March 9th that they meet again. errr....or Saturday March 8th, at 9:00 pm with GAMEDAY being there...
February 9, 200818 yr You mean Nolan and not his dad? Yes, I apoligize for my error, but stand by my original statement as well.
February 9, 200818 yr Author Yes, I apoligize for my error, but stand by my original statement as well. Agreed... I loved the fact that we got Nolan. Saw him play while he was in high school and thought the same thing you did. He's exactly what we needed to help in the pg position against quicker teams.
February 10, 200818 yr To my GREAT FRIEND TD....SCOREBOARD.... to everyone else....Duke still has so much work to do....they really aren't close to being the 2nd best team in the nation.....too much work to do, and likely not enough time to become great. They just beat UNC at home by 11, and they only have one loss, which was to a ranked team. What does Duke need to do to prove to you that they are #2? I think they could be #1.
