Congrats on the hit. That is why I stayed away from this game. Knew it'd be tough, but this loss is hardly a bad loss.Originally posted by stealthyburritoComment -
Had to think it would be very close with Duke at -2.Comment -
Yeah. They have a good squad, but they also have to hit open shots. That was the difference tonight. I can think of 4-5 open 3s they missed and a handful of layups they missed. I'd hate to be UNC on Saturday. The last thing UNC wanted was to play Duke coming off a loss.Originally posted by SnowballComment -
not a bad loss at all for the Devils, theyre still in the running for a 1 seed in the big dance, provided they win the acc tourneyComment -
I almost hope they don't get the 1. If they do they will be stuck out West. I think they'd be better suited to get the 2 in the East or South.Originally posted by stealthyburritoComment -
What are your thoughts on Zoubek, dukeblue? Wanted to make sure it's not just me, but I can't stand the guy. He's a waste of a 7 foot body IMO.Comment -
It's funny you bring Zoubek up because I was thinking about starting a thread earlier, after watching him play. He does rebound well "sometimes" but he gets very lazy at times and I have seen guys half his size get a rebound over him.Originally posted by whatsgood5Comment -
Agreed, I mean he did have 13 boards tonight, but I still thought he played pretty poorly. When you score 4 points on 13 boards, that's pretty bad. He missed a couple of easy looking lay-ups/put-backs too. And on that possesion with maybe 2 mins left where it was tied, didn't look like he boxed out at all, or just got bodied and the kid on MD got the offensive board there.Originally posted by SOUPComment -
He's been a lot better lately, but yes he is so frustrating. He averages 5 offensive rebounds per game but never looks for the stick back after he gets em. His lack of athletic ability is what hurts him the most. He constantly gets dunked on by guys barely 6 ft. But its hard to knock a guy too much that has been averaging over 10 boards a game for the last 6. But I agree with your waste assessment. The least intimidating 7 footer in history!!!!Originally posted by whatsgood5Comment -
theres really no difference between a 1 and 2 so if the 2 seeds benefits them in any way (like not traveling across the country) then go for it. Though i suppose they could be in an 'unadvantageous' spot of a 1 seed out westOriginally posted by DukebluejmsComment -
We have a team that will dance its way to the sweet 16!!! LET GO MD!!!!!!!!!!!
