Tied 52-52 with Texas A&M with 3:34 left.

You can't hit 3's like layups every night.

Down by 16 midway in the second half against Villanova. This team should have 3 or 4 losses by now.

83-62 final... and it wasn't even that close.

Amazing.

Ouuuuch! :chair:

Georgia Tech struggling AT HOME against Virginia Tech!

With or without BJ Elder, this GT team just isn't as good as everyone thought they were preseason. Neither is Wake, for that matter.

UNC is pretty clearly the best team in the ACC, followed by Duke and Wake, with GT a close 4th.

Also, the cellar of the ACC this year is so much better than other years.

Lets just wait and see what happens with Duke at FSU and Wake before you crown them Nate. I think they have a good team but they do not have a great team.

we (st. johns) will beat duke february 26th at the garden. SJU matches up so well with duke. both have no bench. duke goes 6 maybe 7 deep (if you count shav). SJU goes about 5-6 deep.

How about them Hokies!

Well, Duke is currently up 30+ at FSU... It hasn't been remotely close all game.

Duke goes a legit 8 deep... Dockery, Ewing, Redick, Melchionni, Nelson, Shelden, Shavlik, McClure.

I don't think SJU has a prayer against Duke. Back in the days of Erick Barkley, SJU was a threat. Now, I'm not afraid at all. Wake, GT, Maryland and UNC are the only teams left on Duke's schedule that I am worried about.

i definitely do not count mcclure. he is nothing, yet. SJU is playing everyone touhg, and is currently beating BC 20-14. we can neutralize everyone on Duke.

LMAO! You can neutralize Shelden Williams? Are you kidding me?

SJU doesn't even have a winning record right now. Losses to St. Francis, NIAGARA, Illinois State and HOFSTRA. And sorry, but you did not play Niagara close.

If you think you can neutralize Shelden Williams, Daniel Ewing and JJ Redick all at the same time, you need to take the crack pipe out of your mouth.

McClure is nothing? :rolleyes:

A scrappy, hustling and well-defending player is nothing? He isn't the most talented, but he is a very good defender and provides valuable minutes when needed.

In other news, Duke blows out FSU @ FSU by 32.

lamont hamilton can guard shelden.

as for those losses. they mean nothing, and you should know that. they came before SJU bought into roberts' system. they are a completely different team now.

hill is better than ewing. and reddick can be guarded, if the coach comes up with the right plan.

SJU has a few scrappy players.

Those losses mean nothing?? Tell that to the NCAA Selection Committee once SJU gets sent to the NIT (If they manage a winning record).

Lamont Hamilton? Do you realize that Shelden Williams has dominated almost everyone Duke has played? Lamont Hamilton? Shelden is undoubtedly one of the best big men in the nation. Lamont Hamilton? Again, please... Lamont Hamilton?

Hill is better than Ewing? If Redick is so easily guarded, why is he top 10 in the nation in scoring?

Do you even watch college basketball? SJU has lost 3 of their last 4 games!

And you can count them in your depth chart, IMO, if they contribute.

we can't go to any postseason play. we've suspended ourselves, because of the actions of some former players.

and yes, lamont hamilton. he is playing well against every big man that he plays against. and is doing the same thing against craig smith tonight.

yes, hill is better than ewing. i've never been impressed with the underachieving play of daniel ewing. i've always thought he was better than what i've seen.

i didn't say reddick could be easily guarded. i just think there's a way you can play him so that he can't completely beat you.
