Sharp As A Whistle

Duke sucks. Their fans didn't even care about college basketball until they got to campus (the ones that aren't complete douches will admit to this). Coach K is a rat bastard.

"Our team – there is something missing this week. We are not the same team these past two ball games. It is almost like someone came in and invaded their bodies or something. We have given up 91 points a game these last two games. It’s not what we do at Duke, but also it’s not what these kids have done. I don’t know if it’s the time of the year, or if they took a deep breath, or whatever" said Coach K after the game.

It isn't Duke's fault they have lost two straight games against two teams that have a combined record of .500 in the ACC. Someone came in...invaded their bodies with some voodoo bullshit...and forced them to give up more points than they can score over the last 2 games. It isn't because Duke's players are slow or unathletic, a set of rich, white stiffs. It's because its February and all of their players took a deep breath...or whatever.

Duke's only athlete can't shoot. Henderson FG percentage is alright at 46.9%, but he usually just drives and makes layups. He can't make a free throw and his dad knows it, hates it, and probably beats the shit out of him because of it.


"In reviewing important data from those seasons, one discovers an undeniable trend. Mike Krzyzewski's teams are not nearly as talented as they once were, yet the combination of a deceptively unchallenging schedule and accompanying rise up the polls leads to the same, lofty expectations as always. These Blue Devils, however, rarely achieve them..." writes SI's Stewart Mandel, "The rate of pro success for Duke's McDonald's alums is significantly lower than that of all others during the same time period, which begs the question: Did Duke recruit these players because they were good enough to be McDonald's All-Americans, or did many of them become McDonald's All-Americans simply because Duke was recruiting them?"

They are going down. Hard. I wouldn't be at all surprised if don't make it past the first round in March for the second straight year. And for the record I said VCU would beat Duke last year. Got-hamz!
