That's actually pretty good information. Why wouldn't ESPN talk about that more to try and combat the Duke hate? I've been compiling a list; I have done Duke, Michigan State, UNC, Kansas, Kentucky, Purdue, Illinois, Syracuse, Ohio State, WVU, Wisconsin, Villanova so far. Obviously the final number needs to be adjusted for a few things to get a sense of the officiating (physicality of team being the biggest) Which schools would you think have the most fouls called per possession and which the least? So far, 3 schools have been called for way less fouls per possession than any of the other teams. Any guesses? Any more schools that you would be interested in?
-
Oh, and it is not that much work to do so I can test this on other teams or a few more years back if you guys are curious. It isn't that easy to find opponents number of fouls, though.

Is that really accurate to look at it that way? I would think Duke gets a lot more opportunities to foul because there are a lot more possessions in one of their games than MSU. Could be way off, but I would think that would be a factor. Adjusted Tempo 2010 2009 2008 Duke 65.5 67.4 73.0 Michigan State 66.1 67.3 64.9 For this, I accounted that there were a different amount of games in each season. Over the last three years Avg Fouls/Game Avg Tempo Avg Foul/2 Possessions Duke 18.4 68.4 0.27 Michigan State 18.6 66.1 0.28 So per 200 possessions, Michigan State is called for one more foul than Duke. Not very much of a difference.

I am afraid that our defense is not that good this year

TYLER!

I was wondering the same thing. Is Rivers likely headed to Duke? Or is he gonna got the Calapari route like every other guard? I am hearing things that make me pretty optimistic on this and Kentucky is not in on him, at least not yet

Yours wasn't going to be as awesome as this one. Don't stand in the way of awesome. I was hoping to improve on my overall 9-4 game thread record. Vanilla Ice, if the Cubs lose today, it is 100% your fault. It was my turn

Well hopefully, I will be testing you tomorrow

Two of the best starting rookie pitchers from last year make their season debut. Randy Wells (Last Season: 3.05 ERA, 3.88 FIP) http://cdn.bleacherreport.com/images_root/slideshows/384/slideshow_38446/display_image.jpg err http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_kzkB4xKFvls/SSnyqYc15xI/AAAAAAAAAtc/Gm3WLRrTs_0/s320/swojo.jpg err http://www.mycubstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cubs-randy-wells-rescue-11.jpg vs. Tommy Hanson (Last Season: 2.89 ERA, 3.50 FIP) http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i150/onlyxy0uxx/jj-redick.jpg whoops http://www.crazie-talk.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/zoubs.jpg err http://www.georgiabaseball.net/tommy%20hanson1.jpg Oh, and http://pictures.replayphotos.com/images/D/lg/duke-university-sports-illustrated-collection-si-photos-duke-university-1992-ncaa-national-championship-d-sic-sip-00009lg.jpg http://www.coachk.com/wp-content/uploads/2001-National-Championship.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/2d9ogt2.jpg

Which one is Wojo gonna interview for? Definitely haven't heard any rumblings about that, but I suppose it could possibly happen. He was the one responsible for Zoubek and Thomas' development over the four years as he is the big man coach. I just don't know if he has what it takes to be a head coach.

I'll stand by my argument that that there's no comparison between the 2 when it comes to actual coaching. Coach K does have the market cornered on having his players coached up to hack the crap out of a ballhandler yet not get a foul called. If Izzo masters that, look out. He has. I'm not sure where you're going with that. Izzo's teams are a hell of a lot more physical than K's. Yes they are, but they also are called for a lot more fouls. Fouls per game called on the two teams over the last three years according to ESPN 2010 2009 2008 Duke 18.1 18.1 19.2 Michigan St. 18.0 19.3 18.5 So basically even. Michigan State looks like they average about .3 or .4 more fouls per game or what you would expect from the more physical team

A lot more coaching turnover in the ACC than I expected

Oh, come on. You know what he means.

Duke has a higher percentage of black students than Butler :D oh and http://media.charlotteobserver.com/smedia/2010/04/06/03/779-Duke_Wins_National_Championship___04.06.10_Bcl0F_5E_075.standalone.prod_affiliate.138.JPG

I'm not a crazy duke fan but.. Howard has been playing stupidly all half. It was only a matter of time before he got his 3rd and 4th
-
sososososososo pumped for tonight
-
Castro's head peeks over the horizon. Yeah! God damn you Theriot for hitting a hard line drive. Damn you straight to Hell! No. Because this isn't his fault, you know. That ball was hit all that hard. Or the center fielder made a good play. Or he's depressed. Or something.
-
The 6-1 hitters are basically a candy shop for a guy like Lowe. I still think Soto will be OK

THE CLOCK IS TICKING

shut the [expletive] up I'll second that why?
