Ferocious finish building here. Fun to watch. I hate MSU, but I can certainly go for them beating down on Duke.

This has been a fantastic basketball game. Allen is great. Bridges is great. Ward is great. Duval is great.

Wendell Carter should have been ejected though. Even in a very physical game, how can you let a guy through a clearly intentional elbow to a guy's face and stay in?

Izzo is not liking this finish.

As far as Carter blind sided hit goes, he probably saw the ball was over half court and everybody's attention was way over there and he just thought he would go for it, even on the big stage with cameras everywhere. Took a chance and did not lose enough.

Agree. I was flipping through channels, missed it live so wasn't sure what they called. Clearly should have been ejected.

Was watching earlier where they called a foul on Goins. I am not lying when I say I replayed it about ten or more times. There was absolutely no foul. No debatable call, no touch foul, just a complete phantom foul.

Times like that I wish I as in charge of reviewing officials. :D
It's Duke, what do you expect?:huh:

Best quote: "Manning is just a horrible in game coach. Doesn't have a clue. Would make a good assistant but has no business being a head coach at this level. You just can't play 4 guards at the same time. The rebounding disadvantage is just going to get worse if he keeps up his love of the 4 guards at once. You have to play at least two bigs at all time and hope they get better."


I'm detecting no vibez.

I was so p***d off by those guys on the Wake board during the Ayo recruitment that Dan deleted my post regarding how bad I wanted to beat them this year. But now I just feel sorry for them (though I still want to see us trounce them).

Post I saw on there: "I would name an interim coach tomorrow and spend the next 4 months looking for a Division I coach who can fix this pile of steaming !!!!.

* Might want to chat with the Liberty coach before he gets on the bus."

This is hilarious because they said that even if Ayo didn't commit their recruiting class would still be great with the commits they had. So now they want their coach to be fired and risk losing their recruits. LOL!

So, even if Ayo committed to WF, he would have decommitted for coach change:D

To be fair, most of us wanted our coach fired last year despite the risk of losing our recruits.

Anyway, like everyone else I hope we pound Wake Forest. But with each of their losses, I get more nervous about that game because if we do lose, it will be embarassing and a "bad loss" come March. And no road game is a given with our team.

Actually, after reading the Wake board, I'm envious. They have a willy nilly emoticon that's a panicked smiley face running around in a circle.

My Favorite quote:

My experience w/ Wake Forest Basketball so far this season: A play in 4 acts

Act I - November 1st: "I really hope our soft non-conference schedule won't come back to bite us on selection Sunday!"

Act II - November 3rd: "Well, a win is a win... I mean, it's only an exhibition and Queens University of Charlotte is ranked #2 in all of Division II!"

Act III - November 10th: "It's only one game... I mean, Georgia Southern returns a lot of talent and they'll probably win the Sun Belt Conference this year. Won't be such a bad loss when you look back at the end of the season. Probably motivates the team!"

Act IV - November 14th: "Liberty University? What in the !!!!ity !!!! is Danny Manning doing? We aren't going to win a single game this season. Burn it all down to the ground! I hate my life."

All of that only took 2 weeks. Took 2 whole weeks to ruin the next 4-5 months of watching college basketball.

Does he still have the big fro he had back in the 70s? "Will he go 'round in circles..." Dude could play, also known as the 5th Beatle for his work on their last few albums.

Please expand your thoughts

It was to see how good Davison is this season; how bad UNCW will be (with 1 retuning starter; a new coach).

That being said, I now think Davidson stands a good chance to challenge for the A10 title this year.
