Sad news from our neighbors to the north. Charles Shackleford was found dead in his home last night. 50 years old, cause of death undetermined. Shack is remembered more for his interesting use of the English language ("Shack can go left. Shack can go right. Shack be amphibious.") than his...

They may not list the conf record, but they do list D1 record overall and D1 record non-conf. I think even the NCAA Committee can figure out the Conf record although they might need a calculator, abacus or laptop.

That's always been my frustration. Bandwagon fans irritate the hell out of me. If you only go when the team is winning, you're not a fan. The Bears had a 20+ year wait list for season tickets when I lived in Chicago. This was more than 10 years after the super bowl and they sucked every...

The fact that we don't sell out games in McCamish tells you all you need to know about GT athletics and the local fan base. Embarrassing that there are still tickets left for Notre Dame

Moving Q to the 4 has made a big differnce . Okogie's emergence as a great wing has allwoed that. The other thing is playing zone covers up for Q's lack of lateral quickness. When he gets beat off the bounce, his guy ends up face to face with Lammers and a blocked shot. Go back and watch...

I've been pointing this out since the end of the Hewitt era. People forget that for 20 years, we've had one winning record in the ACC. One. If CJP gets to .500 he will tie for the second best conference record in the last two decades. Think he deserves a statue out front if he does...

I'd love to see a fast-cut reel of our 26 FGs. I remember lots of nice passes for hoops, but I think i'd be hard pressed to say there were 20 assisted hoops and only 6 unassisted. That means we only had 6 made FGs all night on off rebs, Okogie drives to the hoop, fast breaks etc. I guess...

I would LOVE to see us beat the Twerps. F**k them. They want out of the ACC for the B!G Ten / 12 / 16 (whatever) TV money? Good riddance. The only think better than not having their trailer park trash fans around is beating their ***

I don't thin of Memphis as that much of a porgram. They excelled under a convicted felon (Dana Kirk) who has admitted paying players. They got Penny, who has admitted taking money to attend. Then they got Cal. The only conviction was for paying a kid to take the ACT/SAT for Rose, but I...

Glad to hear the excitement and people talking about going to games again. I've been at almost every home game for 15 years and the crowds have gotten smaller and smaller each year since Favors. The Tulane game this year was horrific, turnout wise. I had two mid court seats in the Callaway...

I think an RPI > 40 means you have no shot at an at large bid. (Not just us, but any team.)

I think he stays 2 years, 3 at the most.

Couple of quick observations It's been great to watch Okogie develop this year. At the outset he was talented but erratic and made freshmen mistakes. You can see the maturity and decision making improve every game. Last night he was the best player on the court. Kudos to CJP & staff...

I am still in shock that we're having this conversation given my expectations for the season. I think NIT is almost a certainty (unless we have a major injury or revert to our early December form) and NCAA is s stretch but it's actually possible. Lots of things have to happen, but I never...

Sorry, man. Phil died about 5 years ago.

I assume Duke will see the same type of transition other schools have when an all time great retires. UCLA dropped from dominant to very good. Gene Bartow actually had a better winning % than Wooden (85% vs 81%) but he was run out of town for not being Wooden. When Dean Smith left UNC...

This year's Duke team reminds me of the UK team that started #1 and ended up losing to Robert Morris in the NIT. Loads of talent but they play like a collection of individuals, not a team. And talk about horrific defense. Holy crap. They got shredded on dribble penetration all night

Agree 100%. The kids have surpassed my expectations of them, both individually and as a team. I won't speak for others, but I definitely questioned the talent level on the team and didn't give them enough credit. I'm happy as hell for them, as they are the ones who should derive the...

Jonathan Isaac is turning into a very nice player. XRM can score in bunches or distribute . Bacon is a player. The size, length and athleticism they have is crazy. I don't see them losing too many games this year. Anything is possible, especially at home, but I think this one is a long shot

BTW, anyone looking for tix to FSU or Cuse games, I have a couple of extras to both games. Happy to sell them to folks on the board instead of StubHub.
