That means they must have won 793 in a row, impressive.

(That was a joke about how they never play anyone on the road in non conference play) (he he)
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.

I just woke up at 3 am with the thought of how Duke fans and ESPN are waking up at 3 am feeling lonely dread about that horrible embarrassment, and how much this is going to ruin their Thanksgiving.

makes me tear up
but seriously the foul discrepancy is insane. Miller would be ejected if this was us:

GTown 30 fouls to Dukes 21. Duke shot 11 more FTs
29 fouls on SFA last night, Duke had 18. 40 FTs to 17

No surprise here... Duke player draws a foul... by stepping on top of a Mich St player who has fallen to the ground.

As much as I hate Duke and the favoritism shown them, that foul has to be called on the MSU player. The defender was stumbling and fell down in front of Jones' path -- who was simply trying to finish the offensive play. I would've gone ballistic if Nico Mannion was called for an offensive foul on a play like that.

The ref must have used the new 3 point foul emphasis where you must let them come down cleanly. Otherwise he could have just passed on the call.

Duke did look very good last night but it seems Michigan St always struggles early

I think the moral of the story is that I believe most other players would have stopped after stepping on the defender to see if the player was okay. ... not just strolling off like nothing happened while the players lays there...

No argument on that take at all. If it was baseball, my next pitch would have been a fastball high and inside to put Jones on his back.

Especially since he has heard it from them every time a Duke alum comes in as an opposing coach.

Dude simply lost his little rat mind. And of course he sent his sycophants out to whisper some rumors that he lost it because he was close to Kobe.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Can we get some video of Coach K going down on the floor with his back injury? Wouldn't that have been appropriate?

So Coach K called for college basketball to "assess where we're at" with regards to safety and health after Duke lost by double digits. Now I'm not saying he is wrong, but man, it sure seems like there is always something when his team isn't great or isn't playing as well as it should. Because of this, he just doesn't come off as being very authentic.

Probably because of the losing.

Not in the first round anyway.

Pick him up in the second round and stash him in Australia or Asia or someplace for a couple of years and give him some time to grow up.

Its too bad. That is what college is for. Or used to be.
