Hopefully UNC can walk away from NC State with a win. :\

Especially in a game like basketball. This is the longest streak since 1974 by the way. And on top of that we have a 47 game home win streak. Also another accomplishment.

Your narrow mindedness and fanboyism towards Duke is ridiculous. You are oblivious to the fact that there are better teams out there. And that the ACC isn't the only conference with good teams. Memphis has made it to the Elite 8 the past 2 years with a overrated team by your standards. I guess you just don't remember the VCU game do you? Yeah, first round last year? Your beloved Blue Devils got outplayed by VCU. Atleast you made it the Sweet 16 the year before that right?

So for the last 2 years the "Overrated" Memphis Tigers in their horrible conference have done more and played better than your precious Duke team that you seem to worship. And now this year when we have an even BETTER team you say we are still overrated. Yet you have given me, nor anyone else, a reason to believe you. You base everything off of your horrible one sided opinions and obviously don't know much about college basketball if it doesn't have to do with Coach K or Duke.

Am I saying Duke has a bad team? No, they have a good team. Not anything amazing though. But a solid team nonetheless. They could desperately use a big, down low guy, because 3's aren't going to win every game for you. I know. But you can't even begin to call us overrated when you have nothing to support your claim.

I'm not saying we are going to win the National Championship this year. Heck I'm not even saying we are going to beat the Vols. I think we will, but you never know in college sports. But I am saying we deserve whatever credit we can get and we are much better than people like you make us out to be. People that whine about one loss and blame everything on anything but the team that lost. If we lose on Saturday, you won't see me coming in and complaining about the refs. And if we win, I will gladly respond to another idiotic comment you make about how we are still overrated.

You'll see when Memphis has to play a good team in March, and they get killed. USC? Ok... Gonzaga? Not great. Oklahoma? Cool. Gtown? Best win so far. Connecticut sucks. I think Lance Thomas is the worst player in the history of college basketball. I think Gerald Henderson should never touch the ball. I think coach K is an idiot when it comes to who he does and doesn't play in crucial points of the game. I think Demarcus Nelson is a terrible free throw shooter. I think Jon Scheyer needs to shoot more because he's scared.

Although, I do think Nolan Smith is the best player Duke's had since Jason Williams.

You've beaten some good teams this year I'll admit.

Tennesse-Martin. YEAH!
Richmond!
Arkansas State!
Austin Peay was a tough win for you guys I thought.
Oh god Siena? How'd you escape with that win?
Pepperdine has been playing great all year, surprised you beat them.
Marshall!
Rice!

And last, but probably your hardest game all year, Southern Methodist!

ballinzman, r u serious. memphis has more quality wins than duke, just from their tough out ofconference schedule. NOLAN SMITH is the best player at duke since Jason Williams? how can u call urself a duke fan. how quickly u forgot guys like J.J. Red.ck and oh, Sheldon Williams, yea scrubs, i know.

how do u possible call urself a duke fan, when did u start. this year?

Was Jason Williams only good at shooting? No. He could do it all. JJ couldn't drive. Sheld was a big man, Nolan Smith has potential to be great, if you saw him against wake, and no I've been a Duke fan since 1990.
