The_Omega Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 Given the selection committee’s anti-ACC bias they’ll probably wind up a 4 seed, at best, but given the way they’ve been playing, they should be a 2 or 3 seed, at worst. Really surprised at how the D has come together. Given their occasional offensive struggles I’d normally think that this team doesn’t quite have what it takes to win it all, but things tend to get a lot more physical in the NCAA tournament, and this Duke team seems to have more of that physical nature in them than most so, who knows?

DaEagles4Life Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 If Whitehead can be that spark off the bench, this team could win a title. Flip was sick yesterday so he didn't even play well. Still was the defense by Proctor and Lively that was off the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannan Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Duke has a good path. I wouldn't be surprised if they won it. Miami has a good path as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Omega Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Duke has a good path? They’d have to get through Purdue who is the best team in the country. They might be able to do it but it’s about the toughest region there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 Arizona State is my new sleeper pick. Holy cow did they look good in the play in game. They’re going to be a tough out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Omega Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 Terrible body language at the end of the half. Roach and Proctor have been awful. If Scheyer doesn’t figure something out at the half this one’s over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Omega Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 Except for Filipowski, they played like a bunch of spoiled prima Donnas who expected to win. Be interesting to see who leaves and who stays. I’d bet at least Filipowski, Roach, Lively and Whitehead leave although Filipowski might be the only one really ready for the pros.

All the talk was Flip was staying. Scheyer said he found out 5 minutes before the game Mitchell was out. Looks like it happened in practice, they missed his size and defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olsilverhair Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 theyll probably all go, they got a nice class coming in who expects to play right off the bat, thats how it is these days, its next one and done class up, thats why its so hard to like college Bball anymore, you cant get to like a player that much cause he leaves after a year, and with the money the nba tosses around I'd leave too, and the transfer portal sucks, sucks, sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchell and Proctor will stay. Still talk of Flip staying then with more shooting next year as well. Proctor shot great from the FT line so no doubt his 3P will also increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His d was already stellar by the end of this season, and he was just a freshman who could’ve still been a HS senior. If he adds more consistency to his outside shooting, and cuts down on the mistakes a little bit, he’s going to a handful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaEagles4Life Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Talk of DaRon Holmes transferring in from Dayton so Flip can play the 4 if he stays. Kid maybe an upgrade over Lively because he has an offensive game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
