Duke versus The Ville

[mhall]

Duke 71
Louisville 68

Wayne Brickshear does his best Turtle act after reading the jersey as he always does. No bench play by Louisville and Duke plays like they are going to be executed if they don't win.

What do you guys think?

Duke's defense has been putrid and and Chris Jones has been playing like a true point guard. Bench play has been improving. I'll take the cards by 5!

Man I hope you are right.

Here's a question for you Tim. Why can't Rick recruit good big men anymore? Yes I know Gorgi developed into a fine player but Rick never seems to get the quality big's especially centers anymore why is that??

Coach Cal gets them all.

Mark, there are not that many quality big men around right now. Cal has a couple of them. The best big man in the country will be playing in the Yum Center today. I think Louisville will be fine at the center spot in the near future because there is a Lot of raw talent in the program. I really like onouaka and Mahmoud. There just raw. Mango is frustrating to me. He shows signs of being good but he is not consistent

I think Rick wants to get guys to develop rather than get studs. After listing to him in a few interviews he does not want the ego and garbage that goes with it.

Okafor IS Duke...saw him play in person against Michigan State up in Indianapolis in the Champions Classic...dude's a stud.

Even still, I think Louisville wins it at home, by 6.

If we don't pass the ball to Wayne blackshear- we win by 4
if we let blackshear shoot up his things he calls a shot - we lose by 4
his name is big game Wayne for a reason. He doesn't know how to play under pressure. And we need the big men down low not making a fool of themselves. They're still young though so it is understandable. GO CARDS

Here's a preview of the game :

Brick city USA in the first half. Dang you'd think Louisville transferred to the big10 with that patented big10 drought. Hopefully they'll come out strong in the second half.

Blackshear has had a good first half for him. Liked the dunk.

Well, I was obviously smoking some good dope. Louisville can't throw it in the ocean off an aircraft carrier today. Duke up 18 with 15:00 left...
