Boothe may be able to have some success against him, but he seems to always get into foul trouble at the wrong time. I think we're doomed once Boothe gets in foul trouble.

There is no way I would seriously think UT can win this game. Duke has bigs that can move like guards. We do not have the size, athleticism, or depth to keep up and we will be lucky to have any open looks. On the other hand, there aren't many teams that could beat Duke.

Nope.

But that's why they play the game, right?

I just hope that we don't suffer any injuries in this game with MAC play right around the corner.

on 13ABC tonight, they had a taped interview with Coach K, and he said that Duke and ESPN called UT to schedule this game because wanted a good team to play Duke on tv.

Lets Go Rockets!!!

Looks like it's 6 vs. 5 right away. Foul on Booth like :20 in.

That's what I like to hear...duke hasn't missed from the floor....oh crap ughh

Drummond missing all his shots so far...as expected

Boothe already 2 fouls only 4 minutes into the game -_-

This is gonna be a looong night.

Kowal-chuck??

Harvey Nickles??

We've had more lively game threads on a sat afternoon womens game vs siu...

Juice is loose

Rockets hanging tough, need to finish the half strong!!!

I guess we'll have to settle for a Juice layup at the buzzer.

Took awhile but we were smokin at the end.

Nice first half.
