(Blue) Devils go down
January 14th, 2019 at 10:38 PM ^
Not me.
I love it more when Sparty (slaps the floor) and loses.
I love it when tOSU loses in any sport.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:23 PM ^
Couldn't have happened to a more overprivileged set of douchebags.
Tonight, we are all Orange!
January 14th, 2019 at 9:23 PM ^
And to Syracuse, aw, too bad. Beilein teams don’t have issues with that 2-3.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:24 PM ^
You were first...are we rather excited that Duke lost?
January 14th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
There's a new number one in town!
January 14th, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
Only 6 threads on this!? Go Blue beat Wisconsin!
January 14th, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
Ichiban!?
Ichiban!
January 14th, 2019 at 9:26 PM ^
WOOOO GO BLUE
January 14th, 2019 at 9:47 PM ^
Lolol I don’t know why but I found that link hilarious.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:27 PM ^
WE'RE #1!!! ??
January 14th, 2019 at 9:27 PM ^
first!
January 14th, 2019 at 9:31 PM ^
FRIST!
January 14th, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Still, they are the only team I hope is not on our side of the bracket. All 300 other some odd teams I won’t be too worried about honestly. If they’re at full health they will be the toughest out for any team (besides us of course)
January 14th, 2019 at 9:28 PM ^
Still gotta win Saturday to claim number one and its gonna be a tough one. I know they've been beaten at home twice recently and lost to WKU but theyll come to play against Michigan. I think our boys are up to it though.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
I don’t like it. Road game coming up against WISC with number 1 one the line. That is a recipe for loss, I am afraid.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
I can see your BPONEr through your jeans.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:49 PM ^
BPONE doesn't exist in basketball. Wrong sport.
Evidence: X hit five 3's yesterday
January 14th, 2019 at 9:37 PM ^
Just imagine how Wisconsin feels, having to play us.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:39 PM ^
Also, Wisconsin is down 33-15 at halftime at Maryland. Only 3 players have scored for them. I'm not that scared of them.
January 14th, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
The key difference is Wisconsin has a tremendous home court advantage. I doubt we get a halftime lead like that, and we are better than Maryland.
January 14th, 2019 at 10:42 PM ^
I hope we are. Maryland blew that lead and almost lost.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:42 PM ^
Very similar situation we were in in 2013. Duke lost and we needed a win at OSU as we sat at 16-0. Wisconsin isn’t as good as that OSU team, and we at this point in this season are better than we were in 13.
9 point win and we are back to #1 for the first time in six years.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
That OSU team went 29-8 and reached the Elite Eight. UW this year may not make the tournament. Other than that it's a road game against a team wearing red, it's not too comparable.
January 14th, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
I drew the similarities from us being #2 and Duke going down and ya having to win on the road to get to #1. Pretty comparable I’d say
January 14th, 2019 at 9:46 PM ^
This isn’t football.
This team has done way bigger things than be ranked in a January poll at #1.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:29 PM ^
Duke was 9 of 43 from three point land - at home. A 21% clip. Zion the all powerful god 1-5 from three, RJ Barrett 4-17, and Jack White a sweet 0-9. Damn...
Guess they were following Tom Izzo's strategy from last year for beating Syracuse. With same result. Stupid.
Go Blue!!!
January 14th, 2019 at 10:29 PM ^
yet, the announcers were still slobbering over duke's players. then it was like, oh by the way, syracuse just won. at least they gave battle some credit.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:31 PM ^
FUCK DOOK!! Enjoy!!
January 14th, 2019 at 9:35 PM ^
Come on mods, you should have left all 15 of the Duke threads up, it was fun!!
January 14th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
agree

I was there. It was glorious.
January 14th, 2019 at 10:13 PM ^
Please tell me that was you in the front row rocking the Block M hat (right in front of Zion's chin in the pic). If so, congrats! I'm sending your picture to all my dook friends.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
I’m DVR-ing it so I can spend some time on MGoBlog without knowing the outcome.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
If RJ Barrett had gone to Michigan, I can fucking promise you he wouldn't have been on a team that gave up 95 points in a loss to Minnesota
I guess that's the #DookDifference?
January 14th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
I mean, anyone else want to be, oh.....15th to break this news?
January 14th, 2019 at 9:38 PM ^
Watched this game, and Duke vs FSU. Duke plays no defense - probably a consequence of having top 4-5 guys know they are all NBA first rounders. Give me Michigan's brand of hoop any day
January 14th, 2019 at 10:32 PM ^
they are athletic enough to block shots but ya, no team D. last year was worse. K ended up scrapping man-to-man and shifted to one of the worst zone Ds i have ever seen. not surprised they got bounced early in the tourny. i actually picked their loss in my bracket.
January 15th, 2019 at 12:00 AM ^
Didn't they make the elite eight and were like a shot away from the final four?
January 14th, 2019 at 9:39 PM ^
Fuck Duke!
January 14th, 2019 at 9:39 PM ^
for posterity. brings a tear to the eye.
never forget.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:53 PM ^
Glorious.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:39 PM ^
We're #1, we're #1!
January 14th, 2019 at 9:40 PM ^
Good. They should have lost their last game too.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:40 PM ^
I went back and reminded myself of the Tyus Battle 'crootment. I don't know why I did that.
What I didn't realize is that we were in on Kevin Heurter, and that he was listed as a PG.
January 14th, 2019 at 10:34 PM ^
yep, JB really wanted Huerter. He would have been perfect in JB's offense. instead he went to one of the worst coaches in the BIG.
January 14th, 2019 at 9:41 PM ^
Duke was lucky as hell the other night against FSU - should be 2 losses in a row for them.
Love to see them struggling!
January 14th, 2019 at 10:35 PM ^
having to play too many weird guys...
