I spent an entire day at Syracuse University. I also drove by Ithaca College and Cornell. Being particularly interested in majoring in communications right now (especially broadcast journalism), Syracuse's Newhouse College is the place to go; the leaders that they have produced in the industry is unreal. The weather is not like it is here in Blue Heaven, but I think I would need the big-time sports like I've grown up with. If I was fortunate enough to get into their communications college, I think it would be an amazing education and would open my options to many positions.

That's enough college talk now though, for now I am going to go put my feet up and watch my Tar Heels take it to the Dookies. Go Heels!

:crying:

I have to say that this loss to Duke didn't devastate me nearly as much as the last one did. The fact is that we played awful, and Duke played great and we only lost by 5. Deng was great. I can't wait till the ACC Tourney.

I feel the same way. It always sucks to lose to dook, but at least we kept the game close the entire way (they were never up by more than 5, I don't think). That bodes well for the ACC and NCAA tourneys.

That's right! I Hope we can beat GT or WFU in first round,and revenge in second round to beat Duke.

Of course, we'll win acc tournament and push our standing to 21-9.


PS.
I think Felton have to improve his game against Duke,he makes many turnovers and less assists.

to criticize felton after that game is completely ridiculous! raymond felton is an absolute warrior, he was almost in tears from the pain of his injury, but he kept playing as hard as he possibly could. it is not his fault that no one else on the team wanted to win as badly as him, or that it was 200 degrees in the gym and nobody could handle his passes because of all the sweat on their hands.

it just makes me sad that we have lost so many close games this year, i suppose that will only make us stronger in the tourney and for next year...

I think Jawad may get used to seeing Marvin Williams getting the majority of his minutes. Congrats to Duke.

Yep, you are exactly right on that one. One of the guys I was watching the game with said the same thing.

I have one question on the play Felton was injured on...

I thought for a legal pick to be set, the player had to have both feet on the ground and not be moving. Is this correct??

If so, how in the world did they miss that call, Shavlick only had one foot on the floor.

or was it not considered a "pick"??
