Senior Night in Cameron

I must say i am not a big Quentin Thomas fan.But at some time i should say that tonight by far was his best game as a heels.He made huge shot we when need it

 

Right now he may actually be playing better than Frasor. I dunno if his passing is up to par, but he can actually create his own shot and I think he's a little more athletically gifted.

I wouldn't be opposed to see a little less of Wes Miller, and a little more of Frasor at SG.

 

I wouldn't shake up the rotation...QT is playing better but I think he is better in that role.

 

congrats

well coming from a duke fan let me be the first to say congrats.. redick started hot and couldnt have gotten anymore cold.. i agreed with dicky v after the game.. he needs some time away before the tourney and just get things back together.. stay away from the gym for a day or two.. but that 8 points outa nowhere with nelson3 and then melchionnis put back and a cramp then the ball httin his back and him giving it back to nelson. ithought the ghosts of cameron were gonna pull another one outa the hat lol.. but i said it would be nearly impossible in a thread earlier this week for yall to be us on senior night esp. after a loss... well does this prove even more how wacked up trying to predict duke/unc can be? but i have to remember last time we lost to yall at home was 01 when we went all the way... we gotta long way to go to get to that but theres not many coaches who can pull together a team and change them shortly and we're lucky enough to have one on our bench.. oh and u left out a senior in ur list with melchionni and redick and williams.. dockery is also a senior but hey.. we may meet yall again come sunday of the acc tourney.. later yall and congrats to the heels i hate haha and im still behind my dukies all the way after another chapter of the duke/unc rivalry!

 

true


but the dookies still have their heads rectally inserted.

 

shit

kshitski has an incredibly deep team - he just refused to play any of his bench all season. dooks freshmen class came in higher rated than UNC's. Sure they had a lot of seniors playing in front of them. But Kshitski had all season and numerous blow out games to get Pocius and Boytkin and Boateng plenty of playing time so he could count on them for a few quality minutes down the stretch

but his shitty coaching ability directly resulted in that 1-18 horrid second half run by redick - what is he shooting - about 25-100 his last four games? no gas left in the tank - better luck with the next greatest recruiting class of all time

 

Great win for a great team.

 

Congrats to UNC on a great win. I disagree with Vitale when he said this team isn't getting good roleplay production and riding the coat tails of 2 All Americans. That might have been true for the entire season and I do think Duke has overachieved like last year, but they got great roleplay from Nelson and Melchionni. Nelson is looking better and better and has stepped up his game a ton. Melchionni also played very well. The reason Duke isn't winning compared to earlier in the season is J.J. as much as I hate to say it. He has been so inconsistent and Williams has been a double double machine lately. If Redick can get on track again then Duke has a shot at the national title. If he plays like he has been, then Duke is going out in the Sweet 16. It's easy to criticize Coach K about not playing his bench, but no one was saying anything when they only had one bench player five years ago. Winning cures all ills

 

quality

 

it's always easy to criticize koach krapshitski.

Five years ago his team truly had no bench ( can you say Nick Horvath as the best player off the bench?) And he had a starting five full of NBA draft picks.

Never letting Pocius,Boykin or Boateng get ANY quality time during a season of blow outs is pathetic and can not in any seriousness be defended. Those players could have helped dook down a stretch run. Boateng surely could have matched Byron freakin Sanders - give Williams some rest.

Pocius or Boykin with fresh legs and energy could have given Redick some rest, kept Dockery off the court if he has a bum hand. Why didn't any of those kids play when Nelson had a broke foot? Hell Roy even found a way to get Copeland - basically a walk on practrice player get more valuable minutes than K's all american freshmen.

But - hey - letting Williams and Redick play deep into every blow out win pads stats and breaks records - what it's all about right?
