Re: College Basketball 2008-2009

Purdue played terrible in the first half and is only down 8. I guess I'll take that.

 

The worst half they have played since early last season without a doubt. Didn't score until 4 minutes in and just played sloppy offense all half. The defense wasn't great but turned on at the end when Duke started to pull away.

 

Both Moore and Hummel blew chunks and Purdue is down just 8 so if either one gets going in second half Purdue can be right back in it.

 

I don't think Moore has even scored. It looks like they're trying to score inside against a bigger team. Duke is definitely more athletic, but why has Purdue abandoned the 3-point shot?

 

Duke is defending the perimeter. Purdue didn't adjust and start running pick and rolls (only once and it resulted in a dunk) or picking for guys cutting to the backdoor etc.

[SouthSideRyan]

Really, Purdue?

 

Another embarrassment. Make it respectable tomorrow PSU and NU.

Do black guys hate Duke, or the other way around?

Coach K probably just likes guys that play as a team.

its not our fault greg monroe and patrick patterson didnt want to play for us.

 

black guys hate us i think.

[SouthSideRyan]

This really sucks. Had a legit chance at 5-1. Now it takes a minor miracle.

[Guest]

Heck, Shane Battier is a white guy name.

Purdue needs to wear this beatdown and get their act together. Terrible execution tonight.

[Smack]

and this could have been a 30 point blowout, coach K was running the clock down

SIU beat Saint Louis 64-48. Watching Rick Majerus roam the sidelines in person is incredible btw. And it was nice to see us finally play some defense for the first time all year.

 

Another somewhat easy game on Saturday against 1-6 Charlotte before we hit the road for three in a row.

The real truth of the reason is Duke does not change their academic standards for anyone athletes or not and they have some of the highest standards in the country. That makes it hard to get the inner city kids that tend to be the really great basketball players and are more often black. This is why Duke will never ever be good at football. You can't find 20 great players who are smart enough to get in let alone the 30-40 you need to compete in football. You can find 7-10 very good basketball players who are smart enough. I applaud Duke for not lowering its standards and its just unfortunate that right now the inner city is predominantly black and that's where most of the great basketball players come from.

Northwestern football?

 

Stanford Basketball?

I think they finally realized what they weren't doing after the 10 minute mark. That's when Moore started penetrating and either laying it in or kicking it out. They didn't do that all game. When they go penetration the player always shot he never made the defense play honest by kicking it out.

 

They were also just flat out missing shots they normally make.

I don't know why you list Stanford basketball I said you can get 7-10 good basketball players.

 

As far as Northwestern goes they are 150 games under .500 in their history and typically finish in the bottom third. Duke and Northwestern have similar football histories. Every once in a while they have a good team but typically they are a couple games below .500 playing easy non-conference schedules.

Oh and Duke has won the most Academic Achievement Awards for football doubling the second place team.

[Andy]

Notre Dame set a team record by making 19 threes tonight, Ryan Ayers making nine of them to tie Kyle McAlarney's 2nd-in-school-history mark and KMac himself making seven. 102-76 over...

 

...South Dakota, who's barely a DI program and plays nobody else of note besides us.

 

I really hate our OOC schedule sometimes. All the good done by Texas and UNC and OSU will probably be undone by all the 300 RPI-type teams we play.

Come on, Jon. Take the bait already.

Duke lowers their academic standards for a fair amount of basketball players.

 

Hell, they are recruiting John Wall.

[TruffleShuffle]

i remember someone showing me a website set up by jason williams, the guard who played for duke and then the bulls. it looked like it had been written by a 4th grader. they might have higher academic standards, but i'm not sure how much it applies for their basketball team.
