Really happy with the effort tonight against BC. The team played great defense, which has been lacking of late. We'll see if it carries over, but a great job tonight.

Houston, UTEP, and UAB aren't awful, but they won't hang with Memphis. Calipari paid too much for those players to lose to anyone in C-USA.

Better than our teams to be honest.

I'm here. I wrote a congrats message on the other thread in the Terps section. Great win for you guys. Well done! No complaints on my end, Gary's game plan on Tyler was terrific, and we couldn't stop Gist. I'll tell you what, Hayes made a huge difference with his threes, and just the threat of them. Really nice game from him especially on the bad ankle.

They'll get 6 just because of who they are. UNC Duke Clemson FSU Miami State Who knows though, FSU and Miami could both collapse completely any day.

It was impressive. Duke looks very good early.

You'll need some help tonight. Duke hasn't looked that good the past few games. I exepct Krittuidhdkgfngssskspggski to have them ready tonight, even if they have to start a 6'2 guy at center.

As the immortal Sports Guy himself would say: Wow, just wow. Carolina looks really good right now, that's all I'll say.

Good to hear, one less excuse for you on February 6.

Agreed, it will hurt against the Heels. Clemson really did a nice job inside against our bigs. Zoubek did provide a lot of size if not much else.

You're better off in my opinion. Krzeksdjkdjfdkski will just play small 100% of the time. Quicker and more effective. Does hurt the depth though.

Ridiculously good game tonight in Clemson which we pulled out in OT after being down by 5 with under a minute to go in regulation. Both teams were great, and I'm even more impressed with Clemson than I was before the season. I picked them second in the ACC and some called me crazy, I feel even more confident after seeing them come so close to knocking off Carolina. Great game, great win for the Heels.

I'll miss Frasor, but Thomas and even Ginyard will give us a few minutes at the point. Bobby's hustle is second to none on the roster, and that will hurt even more than his actual production.

Minnesota will thrive under Tubby, I don't doubt that at all. It would be great to see the Kentucky fans realize they didn't know how good they had it.

You're right, and they won't know what they had until Gillespie doesn't make the tournament.

I'm a fan of Tubby Smith, always have been. They have no idea of what they gave up.

Agreed on all counts! Kentucky too, look at what's happened to them lately.

As funny as 1995 and Coach K's "Bad Back" season was, I agree with you.. See, two can play at that game my friend.

Damn, that one hurts. I remember way back when Michael Jordan was playing and Duke was 3-23. The good old days.

Since 1981, North Carolina has been to 9 Final Fours and won 3 National Titles: Duke has made 10 Final Fours and won 3 National Titles. Before 1981, it wasn't even close. So, while Duke has been a little better the last 25 years, Overall, Carolina is still the winningest program in the triangle.

There are elite programs though. If teams stayed together like the Laettner/Hurley/Hill Duke teams, there would be more. See, I can give Duke a compliment once in a while.

Envy? Not so much? We're discussing the elite programs in College hoops. Even as a Carolina guy, I can't deny that Duke usually belongs in the discussion. There's no envy, believe me. We've still won far more games in our history than Duke has.
