Also only saw the last 1:30 garbage time but where was Winslow? Didn't even see him on the bench. Duke will be exposed again. Not enough experience, too young, not enough toughness ie tough D.
The lack of a marquee win should drop Arizona out of the top 10 this week, best case, with a win 10, with a loss tonight, 12.

Kansas' marquee losses are impressive.

Is there an ignore function on this site?

Wisconsin down by 3 to Rutgers with 1:49 to play.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sun Jan 11, 2015 5:57 pm

Congrats to Rutgers. First time they've beat a top 5 team in school history.

Duke has been soft for some time. We exposed that flaw in Anaheim, at the best live ball game I have ever attended.

Watching the Syracuse game right now and it just came back from commercial with another disgustingly overdone Duke game promo.

"K making history" and all that balloon juice, followed up with another solid minute plus of former Tar Heel Hubert Davis and play-by-play guy just genuflecting over K.

Not a word about the loss tonight, even as it scrolled through the ticker. It has to be in the Bristol contract now.

Looks like I was close. Good to see Kansas at 9. But, I don't understand why Utah is ahead of us at 8? Beating Utah this year makes us the de facto Pac-12 champions.

What a fun game. Duke losing to Miami 90-74 AT HOME.

And it would've been a 20 point loss if not for some easy buckets in garbage time.

I agree about Miami's coach WS.

Would never happen, but I would LOVE a home and home with Miami.

I wouldn''t even want to watch the presser if Miller was Duke's coach...

And you all would be on suicide watch if teams were reversed...

Thank you, Duke. At least we aren't the only Top 10 team stinking it up with losses to inferior competition.

Far from the only one. Lots of top 10 teams have losses to inferior competition which is nearly any loss...considering the fact that there are over 300 teams ranked below.

NC State has poor basketball IQ, but that goes without saying.

CatsbyAZ · Post by **CatsbyAZ** » Sat Jan 17, 2015 9:30 am

Flipping on basketball early out here (yes, pointlessly turned on the Tulsa-South Florida game) on the East Coast and ESPNU was airing a "pre-"College Gameday (in Ames IA today) talk show in which Hoiberg and some of his players are commenting at the round table of other experts like Bilas. This Hoiberg lovefest is getting WAAAAAY ahead of itself. What's so great about the guy that the talking heads are reverently referring to him as if that'll turn him into the next Izzo or K? The Hoiberg Boy Band following seems to have started last season. ISU is overrated anyway.

CatsbyAZ · Post by **CatsbyAZ** » Sat Jan 17, 2015 10:08 am

On a more positive note, glad Duke-'Ville just tipped off.

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Sat Jan 17, 2015 10:12 am

This is going to be a fun game.

Durham will melt down if Duke drops 3 in a row.

They have trouble with penetrating guards.

Louisville's offense against Duke's zone is horrendous today. They can't hit wide open shots.

I was told Pitino runs a superior offensive system. I guess players have to make shots - who'd a thunk it?

Brick City. This is on Pitino. He needs to make them make shots. Home game. Unacceptable. No excuses. 5 stars. Slow start. Not prepared. Unmotivated.

(Did I miss any?)

Duke innovative defensive plan has completely befuddled Louisville. Zone after makes, M2M after misses. What a concept.

gumby · Post by **gumby** » Sat Jan 17, 2015 11:54 am

Pitino didn't prepare ... 3-21 from distance ... 30 percent on the year. Shoulda known. Maybe he can pick up an instructional DVD.

58-45 with 1:40 to go. These HOF coaches should bring on offensive gurus.

My high school team in the mid 70's ran that defensive scheme. Who knew my coach was so innovative and forward thinking. Too bad we didn't win our division.

Iowa was certainly overrated going into that Wisconsin game. They beat an early version of UNC but otherwise have been a punching bag against good competition. Still, Wisconsin did almost anything HBO can imagine to them, so I'm impressed. Maybe we'll see them get their defense together.

Wisky had zero to's in the game. How often does that happen?
