Duke with miraculous 23 pt. comeback w/ under 9 min left

Canton : 2/12/2019 11:31 pm
Down 23 points with under 9 minutes left in the game. Just a miraculous comeback in Duke History. 15 turnovers and 11 steals by Duke in that stretch. Just wow.

was in 2001 when Duke rallied from 10 down with a minute left to beat Maryland. I was at that game. I thought Gary Williams was going to have a heart attack...

That was unreal.

That's right. They are a really good basketball team.
Duke..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 2/13/2019 8:30 am : link
should be a really good basketball team. They have the top 3 recruits.

Here's the thing - they should win it all, or be a threat to win it all every year, yet twice in this decade, they lost to seeds in the teens in the first round - Lehigh and Mercer, and were beat by South Carolina in the second round.

I remember in the 80's people would knock Jim Boeheim for underachieving with talent, yet why does Duke, who annually boasts a top 3 recruiting class not get the same scrutiny?

They are averaging a Championship every decade, but shouldn't the top team every year be doing better than that?

They are set up for success by getting the top recruits and getting overseeded nearly every year and still have had some terrible defeats in March.

I remember that Mercer game vividly...a table full of us were at my friends sports bar and there was a Duke fan sitting in front of us alone..probably took his lunch break to watch, as I believe it was a Friday afternoon game...anyway we are cheering like crazy for Mercer and the dude was literally in stunned silence with tears in his eyes.

I don't think that is completely fair. Duke has won their fair share of Championships and has been well represented in the final four. In fact, Duke has the single highest winning percentage in the NCAA tournament. To answer your question, No, you can't do better than that. It's not like Kentucky and UNC are just folding the tent because they can't attract good players.

The game last night showed how a solid team on any night can beat superior talent, and that is why you can't ever predict the NCAA tournament. I think most would agree that Duke would probably with a best of seven NBA style series against just about any team right now, but that is not what the NCAA tournament is about.

As a fan who watched Syracuse in the 80s, when the ACC/Big East rivalry was running strong, ACC fans had nothing but respect for Boeheim and those teams. You can't sit there and say that Duke has not accomplished what it should have accomplished, but Syracuse did.
Yeah,

nyjuggernaut2 : 2/13/2019 9:17 am : link
In the last 10 mins they turned the ball over 11 time, and Duke scored 15pts off those TOs.
Where did I say..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 2/13/2019 9:20 am : link
Syracuse accomplished what they should have?? They played in the toughest conference in the nation and had pretty good results. What I'm saying is Boeheim was often criticized for not winning more with the talent he had.

I think it was a poor argument anyway as Syracuse alums who were successful in the NBA were far less numerous than other powerhouse schools, as well as the fact that I think Cuse only had the top recruiting class one time, and it led to their championship.

Duke has won a lot. But the point remains that one of the best teams in the nation lost to a 15 seed and a 14 seed in opening games. And Duke has had the top recruiting class 4 times in this decade. The #1 class.

what would people say if the Warriors get bounced in the first round a few years, or if the Pats lose an opening playoff game? Honestly, in relation to the talent, if they aren't in the Final 8 every year, are they really meeting expectations?

Personally, I think they should do away with the one-and-done rule. Minimum of two years out of high school, IMO.

It's really OK, it happens. It doesn't say anything about the program unless it is a sustained thing. That loss pales in comparison with '96, '03, '13, '16. Duke's early exits pale in comparison with the overall record.

I am just trying to say that I think you are on shifting sand to say that Duke has not been an incredibly successful basketball program. It can be irksome to non-fans, I get that. For me, I am tired of the Patriots and the Yankees irk me (Mets fan here). But I am not going to argue that the Yankees are not historically the best franchise in MLB.

I've said that they are successful. They should be. They nab the top recruiting class every other year.

They really should be even more successful.

Wooden shouldn't be on such a pedestal. Look at the talent he had! NBA superstars abound. Now look at Coach Knight at Indiana. 3 championships with how many NBA all-stars? 1. Yes Duke SHOULD be winning more with that talent.
As a MD alum I've had mixed feelings on switching from the ACC  
Stu11 : 2/13/2019 10:49 am : link
to the B1G. I miss the rivalries, but being from the NY area I didn't have a big connection to the ACC before I went to school there like the MD area people. I love that virtually every game is now on TV with the B1G network. That all having been said, one thing I love about it is I don't have to see nor care about that Duke or that rat faced F%&*k Coach K for most of the season till March Madness...

terrific comeback by a bunch of one-and-dones who will not stick around to take their Spring exams at a supposed, alleged Top 5 national "university."

The best was last night with 10 minutes left ESPN was making excuses for them because their one hour flight landed two hours late (close to midnight on Monday). I guess getting proper rest and practicing in the opponents gym day of game is more important than getting these players to class and leaving for Louisville early afternoon on Tuesday.

Tournament championships are irrelevant - especially the major conferences where teams are battling to -gasp- be a 2 seed instead of a 3 or 4. They are done to generate revenue and placate alumni.

True league champions are determined over the course of an 18 game regular season.

Personally, I prefer when UNC goes out in a semifinal .. why waste energy and risk injury playing for a third straight day in a meaningless game.
