Duke at St. Johns

• -Society-

  

  45-25 St Johns with 25 seconds to go in first half.

  Not sure where the fellow Dukies are, but i'll take the bait and my medicine I suppose.
  
  Not gonna press panic buttons after this game like I did last year when Duke lost at Georgetown by 21+ and was down 30 at one point.
  
  Duke has the luxury of playing in a down ACC, playing the ACC tournament in Greensboro, and likely the first round in Charlotte.
  
  If Singler or Smith get dinged up, then I will press panic buttons. However after last year's run I will give Krzyzewski the benefit of the doubt.

  Anytime you see Duke at 1-15 from 3 this seems to be how things turn.

  Duke playing in the soft ACC is making a huge statement for the Big East being the top conference this year.

  lol who gives a shit if they did or didn't, they won the freaking title. Nobody will ever remember who they played and how good or bad.
• centralbucksfan

  Hate to say it...but typical Duke. They live and die with that 3pt shot and K never seems to adjust things at times. If they are hot, can be unbeatable. If they are not..well, we see what can happen. That is why its nice to have a good post player or slashers to the basket when things aren't going well from outside.

  I am so sick of Clark Freaking Kellog and Verne Lundquist talking about Ohio State basketball during this Duke St.Johns game. I swear the media just loves OSU, it is ridiculous. I wish they would fire all these biased announcers. I want to hear about the teams playing not some stupid team from another conference. They haven't won a title in years. These announcers suck.

  It's what happens when a game is so out of reach. They have to start talking about relevant topics. Duke isn't one today. Sorry.

  I find this hilarious coming from a Duke fan.
  
  Especially when your squad is getting absolutely drilled.

  Ell Ohh freaking Ell
  
  No, OSU fans have never experienced that

  My sarcasm apparently hasn't be picked up. I didn't want to have to type Sarcasm in there, but I guess I should have.
• ytownfootball

  

  It was only a decent attempt at sarcasm, so, you know
• Automatik

  

  Sarcasm? Sounded like crying to me.
• swamisez

  

  I thought it was funny. People get so sensitive about their teams it makes it hard to joke about them.
• Midstate01

  

  He's just trying to go back on what he said after he realized how stupid it was. If there is one team the media has a boner over, it's duke.
• september63

  

  LOL@ Duke just isnt a "relevant" topic today!! How true. Swami would you rather the announcers just talk about how Duke is showing just how poor the rest of the ACC is this year?
• swamisez

  

  You don't have to tell me the ACC is poor I see it every night. The ACC was poor last year as well, it doesn't really affect Duke as much as one would think. That is why they try to schedule games that prep them for the tournament.
  
  To borrow the OSU football argument in regards to crappy performances by their counterparts in bowl games, I only care about my team in my conference, the rest of them are unimportant. If they do well and make my conference look better so be it, if they stink, so long as my team does well I could care less.
