Tell me moreFrank Martin about to take South Carolina to Sunday after that Florida win.
I felt the same way about the 2017 team after they rallied to win 4 games in a row and the ACC tourney. Then ....If we win tonight we're going to the FF. Team lost 1 game at full strength this year.

....that happened
Maybe the best coach with no final fours. That would be an interesting list. Prob Sean Miller poor guy lolGoddamn Seminoles about to make another championship game. Leonard Hamilton is a god.
Man RJ and Cam are pretty bad. I know Barrett is going regardless but Cam and tre should really think about one more year. If they're cool with playing in China in 3 years I guess keep doing what you're doing.
Phew this hot take. This the only game you watched all season?
Cam has been terrible most of the season, his shooting percentage bears that out. for someone who is supposed to be a good 3 pt shooter, hes not very good right now. Those turnovers are brutal. Some days he costs the team more points in tos than scores. tre is good defensively, but not very good offensively. Hes no where near ready for the league. His brother was a far more complete player and was a marginal 1st round pick. RJs problems with hero ball are well documented. He almost shot Duke out of the 2nd half of this game as he did against gonzaga.Phew this hot take. This the only game you watched all season?
DOOK
Congrats on the 1 seed.
DukeBlueBall just wanted to give you a heads-up that I'm working on the March Madness thread.
FSU is playing pretty well so wouldn't be surprised to see if they take this one.
yeah, I didn't think this was a hard fought win. FSU looked way out matched.
Man I remember when it was still Jefferson Pilot Sports, and this weekend ruled everything. Nobody did any work at school, teachers would just roll in the TVs and turn on the games. And if your team won the championship, it was a great season and you talked shit to all of your friends who liked rival teams (usually just UNC fans). The NCAAs were such a crapshoot that you couldn't pin all of your hopes on that. I really miss those daysA moment of silence for the last Raycom broadcast.
End of en era.
Yes I saw the fucking game, and seen several this year, including the ones where they could make a damn shot against UNC the last 5 minutes of the game despite locking them down defensively, or almost losing to Wake forest. Are they a good team? And shooting 50% against VT and still losing the game. And they were without two of their starters as well. Last I checked they were ranked. SO yes, if Duke has a bad shooting night especially against a team like Washington or Michigan that likes to zone, that could be it. This was a good performance by the team this weekend. I'd argue that the 2017 ACC tourney one was even better, and we saw how that shit turned out.Did you even watch the fucking game? Or any of our games? We BLOW out good teams while shooting under 25%.

EDIT: Can I also add that listening to Jay Bilas makes me miss Len Elmore? I didn't think that was possible. I mean his argument on how UVA should still get a number 1 seed over Duke, despite losing to them twice and not even getting to the championship game. It was like listening to Tucker Carlson trying to defend not being a racist while espousing racist viewpoints. Jay please fuck off.
So are they just absorbed by ESPN-ACC now?A moment of silence for the last Raycom broadcast.

Foul trouble is always a question in the tourney and calling a tight game for Duke who relies on reach ins and tips for turnovers could be a problem. There is no control over that. And yes, I am going to worry that due to match ups, if someone plays a good packline or zone defense, Duke may have to rely on its outside shot to answer. this same thing happened with UK 2010, an incredibly athletic and talented team, but they couldn't shoot worth shit, WVU lit them up from 3 and they had no answer. I'm always going to be skeptical going into the tournament, I've seen too many of these teams with talent implode when the pressure is on. Maybe Jack and Alex will find their shots again now that its out of conference time again.You still didn't address the fact you think we'll lose due to a cold shooting night from outside...
Not going to happen. We lose if one of RJ, Zion, or Tre is injured / in foul trouble.
ACC Network starts in August. Raycom will be doing some production work apparently.
Sail with the Pilot.
Anyone else remember the TVs on the carts?
