Basketball

<p>Congrats on today's performance...go Stanford, you losers have fun</p>

<p>go 'hoos!!!</p>

<p>Classy. Informative.</p>

<p>By the way this year has been a ton of fun. We can't take anything for granted and are really enjoying watching such a young team compete in such intense games. Can't wait till Wednesday. Should be exciting.</p>

<p>You really question the ethical standards of the University when, even after losing a bundle of games, they still managed to be ranked #8...please confess if you gave the zebra a 20</p>

<p>Wait until the new rankings come out today to reflect the two losses, dumb***.</p>

<p>duke usually moves up after a loss. afterall, its duke...</p>

<p>16th in coaches' poll. Seems about right after two close fought ACC losses. Please, if you're going to talk badly about Duke Basketball verify it. It's kind of overdone, and even though you're completely anonymous, present a reasonable argument before you post.</p>

<p>It's almost funny to see how many people are jealous of Duke's basketball team.. must be saying that Duke has had a pretty good history in the sport, ;)</p>

<p>I agree---Duke has had some of the best collegiate basketball players in the history of the game, but I believe it reflcts poorly on the University when the team sucks di** and is still ranked in the top ten....16, wow...very lucky, probably should be 23-25 at best</p>

<p>^^its kinda weird though, since i think 25 years ago, duke and perennial basketball contender in the same sentence would be laughed at. i guess duke's recent history is so great that it seems to outshine a lot of storied programs (like kentucky, indiana, and kansas)</p>

<p>my issue is the media hype year in and year out. the top players each year come to duke, and based on high school rankings, duke should be winning each year. yet they dont. underachieving at its best.</p>

<p>FSU has had a more similar schedule to Duke so far (Gonzaga is no longer ranked), but they're 35ish instead of 16. LOL</p>

<p>prestige is such a big factor in college sports rankings. ever heard of boise state? they should be ranked 2nd but had no prestige so no cigar. realize that FSU needs to be show consistency through the years for voters to realize they are worthy of top 25. people are confident in duke since its duke. the media hype, IMO, has gotten out of hand but come on, coach K has made 10 final fours! 10!! thats crazy. thats more than tom izzo and roy williams combined. hype is definitely deserved. they always win something in the ACC either the season title or the tournament. im not a big duke bball fun but give them credit.</p>
