Carolina (Paige) misses wide open threes, Duke makes contested ones. Same story as usual.

This lead should be 15+ right now, but it's only 8. It'll come back to bite them again, I'm sure.

Carolina out rebounding Duke 30-10, and also has a 26-8 advantage in points in the paint. The three ball is Duke's equalizer. It's just crazy.

He definitely should have boosted after last year. I don't know how many high profile jobs are going to be out there this year. Oklahoma State and maybe UCLA? Illinois?

Groce, I believe got the nod for coming back today.

But wait 3 months and the new AD will probably fire him too.

I always love the "Duke's getting killed on the boards and only down eight at the half" argument, as if that's something to be happy about. It also means they're still on pace to lose by 16. Lol. So that argument is meaningless, unless Brice Johnson got shorter at halftime.

Duke will need to go berserk from beyond the arc to win this one.

Which is exactly what is happening, just as it always does against Carolina. Until Roy decides to force Duke to shoot contested twos, rather than wide open threes, it's gonna be the same result. Happens every single time, and it makes me sick.

Justin Jackson gets elbowed in the face and gets called for the foul.

They have to. His elbow was up pretty high. It was the right call, but it sure as hell was not a foul on Jackson.

You have one job to do, Marshall Plumlee, and that's grab the rubber orange ball. No one's even asking you to dribble it. Just go get the ball. The end of the Plumlee ancestral line can't come soon enough.

This one's over.

To be fair Allen started his take off for that dunk from 3 point range. How is that not a travel?

Good win. ACC Regular Season "Champs". The quotations are for Rec.

Now let's get on a roll in the post-season.

It was a respectable showing for Duke. They only needed 13 threes to lose by four.

It's no secret that Duke's offense orbits around the three-point line. They are not going to be mistaken for '85 Georgetown. But the lack of effort tonight on the defensive boards was just embarrassing. Someone please give Marshall Plumlee a stepladder so that he can grab a damn rebound. Or remind him that he is the same height as Hakeem Olajuwon.

That was a terrible way to spend two hours.

No definite reason given, other than it's academic related.
Only academic criteria is a C average, I believe.

Would you go to class/care about school if you knew in 6 months time you're going to be making 8 figures?
