It's like Christmas morning.

Coach K is washed up. He hasn't had a real contender in years.

Washed up?
OMG. I will say Duke does not have the players they have had in the past. But if Coach K is washed up, Pillow has no desire to ever place a bet again.
K will get players again.
And I still dont get the Duke hatred entirely. Guess I am from the wrong part of the country.

Out of all of their players I will take McRoberts, and thats about it. If Paulus is a point guard, I am a 5' 6" center. He is a gutsy little kid, but he cannot be the show, he just does not have the quickness or athleticism. Any PG having that much trouble bringing the ball up the court man up... not good.

I'm not a duke fan but if the team was any younger they would be playing AAU ball. It't the strong team of games past but they'll be better next year. P hit the nail on the head, paulus is just not a solid point guard. Also, I totally dont understand the love fest the announcers have with McRoberts. The kid is a decent player, but these guys talk as if he's the second coming

Upside. He can use both hands, he handles the ball very well. He has multiple inside moves. Playing out of position. I did not know the announcers loved him though. He is not Kevin Durant, but I think he is very versatile and could possibly be a decent 3 or 4 on the pro level. Definitely not a center though. And thats where Duke must play him.

McRoberts would look great next to a good big man. Put McRoberts on Ohio State next to Oden and you would definitely hear all about him. I think he is the only player on the Duke team the opposition fears one on one. And he is playing the wrong role, but he must on the team Duke puts on the floor. Got to be a bit frustrating for the kid.

I hate Duke just as much as the rest, but Coach K being washed up. lol Are you serious?? I guess 2004 must seem like it was 50 years ago, because if my memory is right (which I know it is), he coached Duke to the Final 4 where they played the soon to be National Champion Huskies toe to toe. I hate Duke, but Coach K is not washed up.

Hasn't anyone from the South ever taught y'all how to spell--Dook--?

Well, now you know. And it's always spelled this way when they lose.
