I think we hate that they get 5 five star players every year who all meet Duke admissions standards which are Harvard like. In short, like their public Ivy neighbor UNC we think they fudge the process to be like Kentucky without marrying cousins involved.

I concur
Losing likely and it stinks
Reality is...
I hope we play hard
Which we likely will
I hope we keep it to single digits
Which we might
Single digit losses - this season, with our depth and our competition - are noble
Not embarrassing
Good luck guys - appreciate your collective efforts, especially under our 2018 conditions
Which hasn’t been easy
I admire your stick-to-it-ness!
And thanks Mr. P for the list

Will this be a show case for us or Duke?

We should be happy with a good showing by our undermanned team. It's not about wins or losses from now on this season. The kids have played hard every game. As much as I criticize Mullin, he has not given up and has taken the losses hard. I will continue to cheer him and the team on to next year's deeper and more talented team. We saw what this team could have been before the injuries. No more need for bashing the team or coaches from here on out. Yes, this was 72 posting!

If BC could beat Duke, there's hope.

Had to sell my tickets due to a family emergency, but hopefully we can stay competitive.
If Ponds is hot I think we can hang around. We have done so against Xavier and Villanova. Otherwise I don't see where the offense will come from to not get blown out. In the Xavier game the effort was very high. Even after that gut punch I expect that will occur again, as the Duke name will have these kids up for this game.
To win somebody other than Ponds needs to hit some big shots down the stretch. I can't envision it, but I will be there hoping to be wrong.

Lol!
New month!
Seriously though we have rehashed the shortcomings to death. I really feel for these kids. The fire Mullin posts are also silly. At first my anger and disappointments was expressed in sarcastic posts but a grown old man can bash kids just so much. They are not paid athletes. It is pretty hard to hold things together under these circumstances so as long as they play hard I'm good.

Since Lovett thing you can say this about every team we have played, but this is a very bad match-up. I mean 4th seed vs team that hasn't won since December but it goes beyond that. My 2nd favorite team is whatever team Duke is playing. I have seen them a lot they are really good obviously but they can shoot and are big. Nightmare. If we lose by under 10 Chris Mullin should get BE coach of the year votes. Coach K calls off dogs out of respect for Mullin at 12 minute mark. Duke 88-ST John's 54.
Can't wait until people on the boards post all the things Mullin should have done to win the game. Should be fun reading.

Thanks 72 and We are...
the kids absolutely deserve our support as does the staff - however difficult for we fans - I can only imagine the stress and disappointment for these guys.
As an aside, as many know, the Duke coach recruited one Chris Mullin. We were fortunate on that and I am in the camp that believes we will have Ws and good times ahead - as to how good - we shall see.
I hope we are competitive and play hard. I'll be satisfied with that result
Be well.
