Duke Game Thread

Do we know for sure who the refs will be on Sunday? From the BE, ACC, a combo?

Bump.

against Duke I'm not really sure it matters. Just give them 10 free foul shots right at the tipoff and call it even the rest of the way and don't ruin us with any Billy Singleton bogus technicals

More unlikely, SJU winning or Coach K getting a technical on his potential big day?

Coach K could punch an official in the face and they will call the foul on DLO

Too funny!

The ref that drives me most crazy is John Gaffney. Either way, we're definitely not getting the whistle in this one.
 
Coach K is desperate to compete with coach Calipari for 1 and done talent. During his recruiting in home visit with Okafor his family was impressed with his ability to identify with his players and his influence with the Duke admissions officials.

One big disadvantage to playing Marquette before the Duke game is coach K getting all the scouting reports he needs from his Polish boyfriend.

Thanks for posting the video. Watching reminded me of how good our 2010-2011 team was. They certainly didn't look that way under Norm, but something clicked when Lavin came in. They weren't the most skilled team, but they had a good combination of both skill and great athleticism.

Everyone has rosy memories of the one-month span where were unbeatable but often forget how agonizing that team was for a good portion of the season. Losing to Fordham, losing to St. Bonaventure at home, Quincy Roberts transferring midyear, rumblings of Sean Evans quitting the team, Ball State taking us to overtime, going on a 1-5 stretch in which we had losses of 15, 17, and a 2 pointer to Cincy in which we went 12-26 from the free throw line sandwiched between two 25 point losses. Then we beat Duke and the rest is history. Hopefully history repeats itself.
 
Anyone see a point spread? Duke - 9 or so ?

Duke -6. Oddsmakers treating it like a St John's home game although we all know there will be more Duke fans and their crowd will be much louder.

wow that's short.
you couldn't pay me to take us and the points.

My only guess is they are factoring in the SJU fan drinking affect and expect a rowdy crowd of 500 sju faithfuls
 
Harrison looked depressed when asked about his injury. Could get ugly really quick or we could come out and look very good. First five minutes will be telling.
