This Duke Fan Here to Take his Lumps

[Clayton]

I can't give you crap. I just remember looking at Duke and thinking they reminded me a little bit of the Mizzou team that lost to a 15 seed and I stayed away

I am actually very surprised at how little people are laughing about this loss. Which is nice for a change

Probably, unless there is a discipline problem going on. I have seen Plumlee during the middle of this season giving some excellent minutes and then all of a sudden, no more Plumlee. I think we all knew that Duke was vulnerable inside without a big man to help out and at one point, I felt that Plumlee was picking up the game and would be pretty good by tournament time and Duke would make a deep run.

Wow, we have different opinions as to what "excellent minutes" means. Setting 12 picks a possession is about the only thing the kid does well on a basketball court. No surprise he doesn't see the court. He isn't good on defense anyway, and when he is in there you are playing 4 on 5 on offense.

More about Mercer. They played very well, stuck to their gameplan, and looked like they've been playing together for awhile. They may have played their best game possible, certainly looked like a good team today.

that's what having 5 senior starters will do. They were just very poised all game long

Extremely posed and did not get shelled shocked when Duke got up by 6 or when on their 8-0 run. They could easily be this years Cinderella team.

I didn't see the game today but I always felt duke was overhyped this yr. their biggest problem was on the defensive side of the floor imo

Especially their paint defense
