Saturday Evening Drinking/Basketball Open Thread
Of Duke's 34 points, 20 of them are Kelly's. The next largest contibution would be Plumlee and Cook with 4 each.
He is 7-10 and 5-7 from three-point range, and is responsible for three of Duke's thirteen rebounds.
Go blue!!
Duke is a fraud. They are not physically tough and will make it no further than the Sweet 16. They don't play good enough defense. Mason Plumlee has been pretty unimpressive for a while now after all of the National Player of the Year talk early in the season. If they get a 2nd round matchup against a team like VCU, they will lose even earlier.
Eh, opinion understood and respected, but I and probably many others would disagree. Duke is a good team. Not as good/great a team as past Duke teams but they are good. What sucks for the rest of the country is they just became really good again, today, with teh return of Ryan Kelly. His amazing game today aside, he's a pivotal player on that team and his reappearance makes Duke the opposite of unimpressive.
Am I the only one that is still feeling like their nuts got kicked in the PSU game and hasnt recovered yet? Normally the night before the MSU game I'd be jacked up and looking forward to watching the game but after watching us get beat by OSU, Indiana, Wisconsin and then get totally curb-stompted by MSU I was hoping the PSU game would right the ship a bit. Sadly not to be.
Good thing I'm not playing tomorrow and I'll got to do is watch on TV. Hopefully Beilein does a better job of getting fired up for the game than I'm doing.
Oh....and I'm drinking Ghost Pines Cabernet with the wife in front of a fire.
No you are not alone there. Especially considering today PSU didn't even score the first 12 minutes of the game and barely managed to crack 40 after our idiotic D let them get 80+ *sob*
I am hoping Duke loses for a few reasons. First, I can't stand Duke and want them to lose to everyone they play. Second, their loss on Thursday probably put them on the 2 line and a loss tonight and a win by Michigan tomorrow (wishful thinking) may bump Duke down to a 3 and Michigan back up to a 2. I am saving my drinking for 4pm tomorrow.

with Ryan Kelly in the lineup, and it shows. As much as I hate the guy, he's a really good player. I wonder how he will be in the NBA. Maybe could be a Kyle Korver type (but a little bigger).
I wish Ryan Kelly's parents would have invested in some braces when he was a kid
Come to think of it, Id be pissed too.
Singlehandedly going to win this game for Duke
...but drinking Sweetwater 420 pale ale. Locally brewed here in Atlanta.
Miam's point guard Larkin kinda reminds me of Rockwell.
Rumors about LSU coach Les Miles stepping down for having an affair with a student.
Well if true maybe they can get Petrino.
I KNEW IT!
Fun fact about the Duke-Miami game:
The effective FG% of the Duke team minus Ryan Kelly is 40.9%
Include Kelly's performance, and it is 60.6%. Most notably, they would jump from 30% from three-point range to 55% with Kelly. Wow.
Drinking some La Fin Du Monde and watching this hideous Indiana-Iowa game.
