I thought it went out on OSU as soon as the whistle blew.
Who gives a shit anyway, that play didn't win/lose the game. -

And if Duke doesn't go ten minutes without a FG, start out the game going 3/16, and don't grab their first offense rebound until 4 minutes left in the half -- then blah blah blah, excuses, shoulda woulda coulda.lhslep134;1332588 wrote:Ohio State beat themselves. If Craft/Williams don't miss so many open (in Craft's case) or easy (in William's case) shots near the hoop Duke is put away. Missing those shots allowed Duke to claw back.
Duke is not a better team than Ohio State, and we'll see that in March. They are a very good team, but they also beat a UK team that isn't anywhere as good as their ranking (yet), a Louisville team without Dieng, and OSU at home with Craft's worst offensive game.
Congrats to Duke, but they're not clearly better than OSU.
Not sure how OSU is clearly better - OSU may have underachieved, but Duke also played miserable for 60-70% of the game. -

lol, you can't go to Duke and be labeled a thug.
He was being a little bitch when OSU was pushing them around, but he brought it in the 2nd half.
3-10, 12 pts...swag all night. -

Outplayed? Yes. Dominated? lol...no.
Craft tried to be something he's not, a scorer.
K gave his squad the right talk at half. I don't know wtf Matta said, but it sure as hell wasn't right. -

Totally disagree. Duke wold beat Indiana too! The Hoosiers beat a way overrated Carolina team that won't be in the Top 25 when ACC schedule starts! I've seen both lay and Louisville is also better than Indianaccrunner609;1332926 wrote:Ok, I stayed away from this thread the whole night last night. Didnt want to hear the BS about the game.
OSU played really good bball. I dont buy it that they dont have a bench. They played alot and played well. Craft isnt that good. Sure he can play some D but he is terrible on offense.
THis is a Duke team that has won 2-3 games this season that they would usually lose. There is almost no reason to of won last night. OSU just couldnt put it away. Plumlee is a stud.
Pundits are talking about Duke being #1 since they have played and beatin 3 top 5 teams in less then 2 weeks. After watching IU the other night....Duke isnt the best team. -

I have to be honest-Craft may be the most overrated player in the country and what is up with the Beverly Hills 90210 sideburns? Good luck in the NBA where nobody plays defense!Automatik;1332952 wrote:Outplayed? Yes. Dominated? lol...no.

Thanks for the honesty!
Craft I very seriously doubt has any thoughts about the nba. He's not very good offensively. He's the best defensive guard in the country and its not close. -

I dont think there is a person in the country that doesnt want to see these 2 teams play.
lol No for real though, it would be a hell of a game. -

Add that with the best player in the country and improving players like Cook and what you have is a better team and better program winning. -

Another reading comprehension fail, but that's to be expected from you. I didn't say OSU was better, I said Duke wasn't better. If these teams played 10 times I'd say they'd split 5-5. That means I don't think either is better than the other.ccrunner609;1333072 wrote:and you are the idiot that posted that even though Duke just beat OSU, that OSU is still better.

Throw in that Kelly was in foul trouble the entire game basically, it's beyond me.Hb31187;1333087 wrote:How the HELL did he manage to guard Deshaun Thomas? Deshaun should of absolutely ate him alive -

Haha if you insist. Plumlee is a good player, but hes not head and shoulders above anyone else in the country. In fact, anyone whos not a Duke homer would take Zeller 7 days a week, and twice on sundaysccrunner609;1333088 wrote:Right now his resume is on top of the stack...and its not even close.
Im waiting on the post where you go over the stats and say OMG HES OBVIOUSLY BETTER -

Yeah what the f*ck is their problem? We're not discrediting Duke, we're just not annointing them as the team the homers think they are.Automatik;1333102 wrote:

Yeah I guess so, just baffles me that Thomas didnt get many more touches. I assume Thad addresses this first thing tomorrow(perhaps today)Automatik;1333090 wrote:Total offensive collapse by OSU in the 2nd half. -

Who knows, I hope he addressed it on the flight home! After Thomas got off the bench I figured the offense would run through him. No, Smith Jr and Craft thought they could take over on the offensive end and totally failed.Hb31187;1333104 wrote:Yeah I guess so, just baffles me that Thomas didnt get many more touches.

Matta also wen't rather deep in his rotation. I know he does this early in the season, but I figured when considering the opponent he would keep it somewhat short. There was some foul issues, so that could be the case, but like I said....no flow. -

Auto, did you read Mark Titus' tweets regarding DT? He said that Duke was keying on DT, forcing Craft to take shots because he was cold. On the pick and rolls/pick and pops, the Duke player stayed with Thomas giving Craft open looks.
Go back and rewatch.
