It's a tradition in college basketball and only sore losers disrespect the tradition.  Duke has always been sore losers.  Duke didn't seem to have an issue with it when they won their region. 

Eh tradition or not it’s in the best interest to change. I’m a die hard Carolina fan but if I just lost a heated game then I’m not going to sit around while the other team celebrates in my face. Either shakes hands right after the game and celebrate after or don’t have the shake.

Tbh carolina was probably celebrating too much 😂 

That is possibly true and understandable.

If do it when you only win then you're a sore loser.  That's my point.  They were happy to shake hands in the regional championship when they won but ran off the court like sore losers when they lost. 

If they never did it than I could understand your point but when they lose it called being a classless sore loser.

I see where you are coming from and yeah I get that point. Yeah it is a bit of a double standard for them.

Sensitivity is at an all time high.


Projecting at its finest.

 

fwiw I’ve lived all over the state, raised in the triangle, seven years in Greenville, one year in OBX, 10 years in the triad, 3 years in durham. But pls tell me more person who lives in the woods in the mountains.

As for tomorrows game it will come down to Manek against Wilson… whoever wins that matchup should win the game assuming everything else plays out like it should.

Bacot should be able to handle McCormack and I’m not worried about Lightfoot at all.

I think you put Love on Christian Braun. Braun is taller and a good player but Love is a better athlete and can really lock in on defense when he wants to.

Davis can handle Harris easily and should win that matchup handily.

Black will be on Agbaji and if he can keep him to 15 points or less then we’ll be in good shape.

It all comes down to Wilson and Manek… I personally think the matchup favors Manek because Wilson isn’t a great three point shooter so Manek can sit back on Wilson unlike what he had to do with Banchero.

Well for starters I spent 20 years in the triangle so yeah I’d say I know quite a bit about the area.

And it’s not projecting, it you not being able to take a little joke from a meme and then getting your feelings hurt that some people don’t want to live in Durham…

99 out of 100 people would rather live in Asheville and that’s okay… you can be the one that lives in Durham. I’m glad that someone likes it.

    • Bryce has improved each season, fwiw, statistically.  His slope is rising.  (Not to say I am high on him--I am not, but I have not given up on him--nor have I given up on XL, but damn he pisses me off)  CJ's slope is descending.   I was never a Penix fan.  Never, I say!    
    • That is definitely the down side of all this--on paper, I would offer up a second rounder for him if he passed my interviews.  He has already gone through (seriously?) a treatment program for gambling addiction.  I just see him as a first round talent that we could get with a second rounder.  If I liked Bryce and felt good about paying him $50m per, I would not touch Sorsby.  If Bryce regresses or stays the same--he is going to expect to be paid.  Sorsby, in my view, has a better long-term future as an NFL QB.  He is big, mobile, has good arm strength, and makes wise decisions (on the field) with the football.  He is a great dual threat, RPO QB.   I think he is a perfect solution for the backup qb position and insurance for Bryce should he get injured or suck.  Pickett?  King?  yikes. 
    • Hard to say--they are very unpredictable--this article came out last night---after our comments:  (ESPN)   How has the NFL approached NCAA players with gambling violations in the past? David Purdum, sports betting reporter: Quarterback Hunter Dekkers and wide receiver Kayshon Boutte were found to have committed gambling violations while playing college football, and both were allowed to pursue NFL careers. Dekkers was the projected starting quarterback at Iowa State but was ruled ineligible ahead of the 2023 season after an investigation found he had bet on at least one game involving the Cyclones (among other wagers that violated NCAA bylaws). The bet was just $15 on Iowa State to beat Oklahoma State in a 2021 game in which he did not play, but it led to the end of his Division I career. He played one season at Iowa Western Community College in 2024 before signing with the Saints as an undrafted free agent, and he spent last season on the practice squad. Boutte was arrested in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in January 2024 on charges of underage betting while at LSU. The arrest came roughly eight months after he had been drafted in Round 6 by the Patriots, and the charges were ultimately dropped. According to police, Boutte placed more than 8,900 wagers from April 2022 to May 2023, including betting on at least 17 college football games -- at least six of which involved LSU during that span. The NFL did not discipline Boutte.
