Hey, the announcers are portraying more hope in a clone comeback than I have. What's going on here?

We need some threes.. not contested shots by brackins (which he's missed pretty much all of them)


This says alot about this thread tonight.

I think Brackins has hurt us more tonight than help us.

Nice pull up Gilstrap. :yes:

Guys. This is a Duke team that is 5th in the nation. They are better than us. We are still hanging in their. Outside the start of this half, you guys should be impressed.


and Scheyer is having a heck of a game against us, even when we cover him pretty well.

Brackins finally takes a semi-intelligent shot.

Our defense is still beyond awful. Not one person wants to guard Scheyer. Someone suit up Haluska. Wasn't the greatest offensive player, but he locked down one opposing player.

I know Duke is a good team, but just wanted our guys to look a little more polished in the national spotlight.

I have never been a big fan of Duke, watching this game makes me hate them even more. At least we don't have to listen to Vitale. Sometimes when Vitale is doing a Duke game, I can hear an echo because his head is so far up their arse.

I see what the OP is saying. I have always been of the opinion that McD had to prove something this year. He has to make the NCAA tourney THIS YEAR or else most fans are going just going to bail on the MBB program. I know not everyone on here admits that, but it is the truth.

Just look at how many on cyclonefanatic are already off the MBB bandwagon, and it's cyclonefanatic, the most fanatic cyclone fans!

I just don't see this ending well if McD can't make the tourney this year unfortunately...

EDIT: This was for a thread that has apparently been merged....

If we could put Sean or Clark out there...at least we could get him out of his rhythm

They could teach every player on the roster about 48 things on D. Stay on your feet, stay in the guy's jersey, over picks, not under when they can shoot the lights out.
