Illinois beats Duke tonight.....BOOK IT!


I hope that Jordan the Younger gets some burn so I can see his 40+ vert in action.

Good call with that one Yoss.....NOT!!!

Duke is so much better compared to last year, watching the game tonight reminded me of the game against Marquette last year where we were pushed around and barely scored 60 while playing just awful offense. It's a different team this year, too bad the refs like to call a gazillion fouls and ruin the amazing tempo that the Duke offense imposes. Great early season victory to

PS: wtf is up with the Marquette unis man ? Those are some of ugliest I've ever seen.

*quickly searches for the perfect, crippling putdown to save face from this laughable prediction*


your mum.......there. I've done it! I've fully redeemed myself.


WOOT!.....*high fives self*

 

[Yossarian]

Steaua, what do you think of Nolan Smith so far? How's he playing?


I've heard that you guys have the inside track on Elliot Williams, is this true? And if so, how's it possible? Wasn't this kid conceived for the express purpose of playing at Louisville?

Anyway, man. If he does sign, that'll be one of the biggest coups in your team's history, as this kid is a ******* stud.

I watched the Marquette vs. Duke game the other night with my Dukie friend and he loves the team. Big fan of Nolan Smith, because he's good, but also because now Scheyer doesn't have to play backup point guard. DaMarcus looks like he's starting to fill out his potential, Henderson looks like a completely different person this year, and Kyle Singler is AWESOME. Duke is definitely back.

However, Paulus is going to be absolutely abused by elite point guards. Dominic James got his shot every time he wanted it, but unfortunately James can't shoot, and only drives when he feels like it.

You got all of that completely right to the T. I'm so impressed with all of our new guys and the way Nelson and Henderson have stepped it up this year but I'm absolutely scared s*itless of Paulus and how his lack of speed and athleticism could kill us from time to time.

Wisconsin laid an egg in the first half against Georgia tonight, but came roaring back in the second half, limiting the Dawgs to 17 points and scoring 45 of their own. For a game where we played like absolute garbage, I'll take a 19 point win. Here we come Duke. Watch out for Krabbenhoft Alex, I know you'll love his game.

Yoss are you watching this Arizona vs. Kansas game!? CHASE BUDINGER IS SO MONEY! He's the first white wing player that I've ever liked. And he's probably the whitest elite athlete I've ever seen.

 

[SlayerDeuS]

lawson ****ed up his ankle. ****!!

ah well, we can manage...QT to the rescue!

I wish, bro. I wasn't even aware that they were playing yesterday, let alone against Kansas. From the game report, it looks as though it was a classic, with the intensity of a Final Four game, man........****!

Chase is legit, no doubt. He was a nationally ranked volleyball prospect, so his athleticism, Black or White, is off the charts, man. So he's got the size for a two or a three, the body frame to fill it out, the athletic ability and shooting touch......what's missing? As with most Crackers playing ball, toughness and a Cocksure attitude, you know? He's the next prototype of the White baller after KvH, but the attitude and overall demeanor is no different, really.

I hope that he's more assertive, aggressive and mean this year, man.

oh btw, how did Bayless play? I feel that he'll give Mayo and Love a good run for their money in the Pac10 Freshman of the year award, man.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Bayless looked good, but had a few moments where you could tell he was inexperienced.

The ACC/Big Ten (not so much of a) Challenge has kicked off. Wake is slaughtering Iowa at Iowa. So here's the schedule with my picks in bold.



Wake @ Iowa
GT @ Indiana
Minnesota @ FSU
Northwestern @ UVa
Wisconsin @ dook
Purdue @ Clemson

NCSU @ Michigan State
Illinois @ Maryland
BC @ Michigan
UNC @ tO$U
VT @ PSU

ACC wins. 7-4

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Penn State over Virginia Tech? Seriously? Hahahaha.

 

[SlayerDeuS]

Penn State over Virginia Tech? Seriously? Hahahaha.

They both suck, so I just went for the home team. Not like it will matter anyway, prolly the ****tiest game in ACC/B10 history. ACC will still win it.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

No dude, Va Tech might suck, but Penn State SUCKS. They've already lost to Rider and UCF at home this year. Geary Claxton is alright, but that it an awful team.

 

[$teauA]

I doubt the ACC will lose 4 games.

PS: Wake sucks so badly, they can't score for the life of them and they look like the exact same team as last season, hot early on because they are playing nobody then last place material once the ACC starts up. Charlotte might actually have a chance if we can drain our 3s.
