UVA's win over Louisville earlier in the week was impressive. Is Giles finally healthy for Duke?

Yes, Giles is good to go full speed. Coach K is just bringing him back slowly.

Its weird how Collins is getting the Darius Songaila treatment, which is something that Devin Thomas never experienced. Collins is a much more likable player than Devin Thomas. Thomas routinely tried to show up referees with stare downs, while Collins does no such thing.

Is this the second year in a row when a Duke C (Jeter last year, Bolden this year) was hilariously overrated? I mean, Jeter was ranked, what, top 15 last year? He probably wasn't even top 80.

Bolden was a potential lottery pick before the season started, right? I guess it's possible the injury he had is the reason he is so bad, but honestly he looks like he's never touched a basketball in his life. It's painful to watch both of these guys play basketball. I only wish it would hurt Duke but unfortunately they don't really need either guy as long as Giles ends up himself by the end of the season

Agreed with this. Bolden was hurt, so I'm not so sure about him.. Tony Bradley @ UNC looks a lot better than Bolden right now, though. Bolden was ranked one spot higher.

That first half against Duke, is exactly what the doctor ordered for VT.

I also think asking Giles to end up being himself by the end of the year, might be asking for a bit much. Who knows. The kid has had two major ACL tears in 3.5 years. We'll see how he progresses.

Looks like VA TECH might be legit

Kennard is leading all scorers, hitting layups for days

We are.

 

[rmilia1]

We are.

I was this close to taking the Hokies in our pick em this week but chickened out last second. Lesson learned

In our only loss this year, we were up 17. I'm not counting this one until it's over.

Giles sucks. Plays super small.

Today. This game we're watching now.

So Duke, Ville, and possibly UNC all lose their first conference game of the year? Should be a fun year

 

[jontaejones]

So much for the top being unusually strong in NCAAB this year...
