Duke @ U of L at Noon

Can't believe anybody would root for Duke -- even though I hate Louisville more. The Cards are already dead in March by suicide. The only play is to want Duke's seed to be as bad as possible.
^This x1000000. A Duke loss hurts their seeding, making an early exit more likely. :sunglasses:

Suggesting UL should be able to buy their way out of this is unreal. If it were any other school besides Duke or UNC he'd be singing a completely different tune, I can't tolerate him anymore.

I just realized; I don't think I've ever seen K get a technical......
The last one I remember was last year when he threw his dry erase marker under the bench and got one.....it was hilarious if only because K was so incredulous that he got a T haha

It's almost pleasant when Louisville wins now -- Think about being their fans: 'We beat Carolina, we beat Duke. And we are sitting home in March all because the idiots running our program hired hookers for recruits." That would hurt more than if the team just cratered and had no shot in March.
if only they WERE saying that - unfortunately, a goodly number honestly believe that they were set up by IU, UK, Cal, WWW and The Dancing Guy
 
Great comeback by Lewdville. Certainly helps when refs call violations against Gracie Allen whose actions when NOT getting those calls says a lot about him. Good player but let's face it, the push-offs were well deserved, the hooks well deserved and technical foul well deserved.

Bkocats I was talking to a lady friend of mine (big UL fan ) about a month back and you are correct they want to blame everyone but their own school leaders.

Duke is a bad unathetic team and Louisville should feel bad that it's even this close at home. I don't really care who wins I'm just enjoying watching both teams implode.

Also I cant really blame that Louisville kid for what he did to Allen. That kids got the most punchable face I've ever seen. Although it should be noted that punch today and Harrell throwing a punch at WKU. Just saying, never wanna hear about Boogie again.

Hahaha Plumlee on offense. I'm dying. Also Dickie V has lost his mind. Let us pay to cheat!

Dick makes a good point. Nevermind its a school most would like to see burn. Replace them with us or any other team out there. I mean pay to cheat is how the rest of the world operates why should we punish colleges? Politicians pay their way (or corporations pay for them), Rich folks buy their way out of DUIs, murder, rape, embezzlement etc. Corporations cheat daily and do so based on already knowing the fine if they get caught (say illegally dumping chemicals that they then claim was due to an unknown leak). -


The NCAAs way of doing things is old and archaic. It makes no sense to punish 15 kids for a crime that was committed 4 years ago and only one person on the roster was even remotely connected to it. The schools need to pay and be punished. As usual the NCAA isnt looking out for the kids. At least they dont pull the SMU, Tulane and UK punishments out anymore. Talk about not making any sense.

I think the NCAA is being forced into a corner with all the new realities. Players getting paid, royalties and many more changes headed our way. The NCAA must either adapt or they may see the P5 break away and do their own thing. I think thats the end game. Break off the top 80 or so schools, split the pie less ways and let the greed drive the change. Much needed change.

Obviously a UL fan would think that way.
 
First, let me say, I don't think I have ever started a message board thread; I prefer to lurk and read, and occasionally add a post here and there. However...

This is enough of Dick Vitale using a national platform to be Rick Pitino's mouthpiece/bitch for spewing proven lies without being called-out for it. It is fine for him to share his opinion, in fact that is what he is paid for, but that is not what is going on here. He is repeatedly making grand statements in Pitino's defense that are categorically false.

We know that ESPN is in the bag for various agendas, but are there any other national outlets or personalities that will state that Vitale is simply lying to support a friend? I doubt it.
M. Jones has a very good relationship with Vitale; I wonder if he has the courage to directly ask him why he continues to lie?

That is all....

Why was this merged with the game thread? Lol
 
How did the blow 50-38 lead

Completely lost their composure down the stretch (which was disappointing after never losing it against Carolina on Wednesday) and Ingram was God awful today after hitting a couple threes to open the game. I think he accounted for more than half of Duke's turnovers by himself.
 
I don't get the "Allen is a thug" talk. A douche? Yes. I'd compare him to Luke Hancock. If this is a white/black thing and you want to call a white player thug, go with Bill Laimbeer or one of the Plumlees. Guys who use their elbows because they can't use their feet. Allen is more like Hancock, acting like he's fouled half the time instead of trying to beat you fair and square.

Yeah I wouldn't call him a thug. He is however the typical whiny little punk-ass Dukie.
 
Problem is 5 guys can't keep that level of M2M D up for the whole game. Pitino's a smart coach, he can utilize his depth and have them play very physical for 40 mins. This Duke squad needs a few days off. Next game isn't til Thursday which is good for them.
Yeah, I know, foul trouble, lack of depth, and Thornton going out forced K's hand. You never should play 2-3 zone against a Pitino coached team, ever. Because they will get open three's and eventually they will start to fall. That's why he's owned Boeheim since he's been at UL.

odis' win helps us jockey for tourny seed. sweet. odis banned from tourny. sweet. i still wish they would have lost.

Th only problem is, the situation at UL ran from 2010-2014. At least one player from this team is implicated in the book. He was dumb enough to have his picture made with the whores. So this isn't something from in the past. Attack the NCAA because they are enforcing the rules........the rules are only OK until you have broken them and want leniency. Yes, this is consistent with today's society.

what nonsense. This isn't politics. If the only punishment is a bump in the wallet of these institutions, cheating will be rampant. It will be worse than ever before. What you are suggesting will create anarchy within the system.

You hit them where it hurts. Not where it won't mean a damn thing. 3 year post season ban is what you do. Kills recruiting, hits them hard in the wallet, and I guarantee it won't ever happen on their campus again.

It's a way for social toy soldiers to play "both" sides of the coin because they feel thug is a loaded word for race. Of course, everything is about race with these types. It's disgusting.

For the record, the crime epidemic in the major AA communities is rampant, thus the term thug is thrown around there far more. It's called common sense, and I don't need to call Justin Beiber a thug to even the score. It's just lame and disingenuous.

on topic, Allen is more a punk ass who's an abomination to the game. A white thug player would be someone like Christian Laettner. Dangerous in a violent way on the court.

Much needed change, but only when it's your team? So basically, Yum center brings in the money, by fleecing KY taxpayers, in order to fund a cheating budget. Sounds legit.

He's never been any other way. Always sucks up to K and UNC. Loud mouth with nothing to say.
