What are you doing watching college Bball? I thought you said you didn't like it anymore.

Just kidding. Enjoy the W

College bball was my favorite sport by a landslide growing up. I've pretty much been a Carolina only viewer for years now though. I probably watch single digit numbers of non-UNC games and virtually all of them in the NCAA tourney but I only watch tourney games as long as Carolina is in it. Once Carolina is out my college bball season is over. I've probably watched fewer than five NBA games in the past 20 years.

Refs just gave Duke a victory over Clemson.

Duke somehow survives at home vs Clemson.  They should have lost this game.  Probably keeps the ACC race alive as a loss there gave UNC a 3 game lead

This team has 2nd round exit written all over it. Only way we win either Carolina game is through fluke rivalry bullshit.

He yanked his arm. That gets called every time.

Some questionable calls in that one for sure.

I'm more talking the calls and lack of down the stretch. That said, it was a mostly good game despite the refs.

[jayboogieman]

On the plus side @beo, the announce team said Clemson hadn't won in Durham since 95. That's a long dominating stretch for your Devils.

[Shocker]

Watching Kentucky and they aren’t playing great but damn, the young talent on this team is remarkable

This Duke team just has no true rim protector. The fact that Ryan Young still gets so many minutes is obscene, I wish we could see Stewart get some more action instead. Young is a known quantity at this point. Malauch committing for next year is absolutely critical.

Yeah, there were definitely some weird calls down the stretch. I thought you were talking about the last one specifically. Btw, do you have a team? I see you in college threads very often but you always seem very neutral on matters. Totally valid approach if that's where you land, I honestly kind of envy it lol.

This Duke team may be flawed but next year’s squad has to be preseason #1.  
They are about to be incredibly loaded

Maybe. I remain a bit worried about the front court though. Next year's team could face a lot of similar problems if Malauch chooses to go elsewhere or if Ngonba underperforms; I feel like Scheyer has overrecruited the wings a bit.

Nah, I don't have a team. I'm more of a NC school or underdog first guy. Plus, teasing the UNC fanboys never gets old.

Any NC school not UNC that is. You're a pure ABCer. It's fine, just own it.

I pull for UNC at times, but yeah, I'll pull for the other team when they play App State or State. The Duke/UNC games are a coin flip though.
