Yeah I watched the whole game. Great game for Va Tech. It's not going to be as easy without Demarcus.

Bingo. Let them joke...last I checked, Duke is undefeated.

Until Marcus Williams comes back for UConn. Then, the best team in the country will reside in Storrs, CT.

ROTFLMAO!!!! Are you serious, I doubt Duke can win anything, we'll see though. I don't think they'll make the final four. But then again it IS Duke. I like Syracuse or Illinois, otherwise I also like UConn and Duke is so so. They're good, but I just don't really like them. I don't mean they wont win anything, I mean they wont make it to the final four. I know I'll probably get tons of shit because they probably will, but I don't like Duke at all.

Honestly, JJ is the best shooter. But I dont know if hes the best player. I think that would have to go to Adam Morrison.

Word, he is definetly the best shooter, but not the best player.

What pisses me off is that all but one of Duke's games have been televised this year. I turn on the TV and see Duke vs. Davidson? Who the fuck cares about that game? They haven't looked very impressive to me. A lot of these bad teams have hung around with them at Cameron Indoor. I hope they get UConn in the Final Four... I'd love to see Rudy Gay throw it down over Sheldon Williams ugly ass.

Thats the huge misconception about him. He's not a 1 dimensional player like McNamera. He scores every way possible, plays good defense, and is the leader of this team. Adam Morrison has put up some big numbers but name 1 other player on Gonzaga. JJ could score 60 if there wasn't anyone on the team to pass to. Morrison is a good player but the lack of talent around him makes him waaaaaaay overrated. It's easy to be a super star with no one else on your team.

YanksHater213 · 12-05-2005, 12:54 PM

What pisses me off even more, is how BC, fucking 8th best team in the NCAA, and going to move up even more with Gonzaga AND Oklahoma losing this week, has yet to have a single game on TV. No, none, zero. Not even the final in the tournament against Oklahoma State. These guys are so good, yet they get no credit or respect from anyone. Theyre first game is on TV tomorrow, theyre facing MSU on ESPN...

Umm... lack of talent on Gonzaga? Please. JP Batista. Derek Ravio, and Freshman Jeremy Pargo (brother of Jannero) is going to turn into a solid player soon as well. Please dont make terrible statements like that anymore. You cant have 1 good player and be ranked as highly as them.

Adam may have teamates but does he have another first team All American on the court with him demanding the ball? 2 other solid senior starters? The highest rated Freshman coming in this year? The 2nd best freshman coming in this year? I'm not saying that Gonzaga doesn't have any talent, but the level of talent at Gonzaga is no where near the level of Duke, so naturally there are less people to get the ball too, and more points for Adam.

I'm not trying to put the guy down as I think he's the 2nd best player in the country, but I just don't think he's as good as JJ.

YanksHater213 · 12-05-2005, 01:20 PM

OK, I see what your saying. I thought you were trashing Gonzaga...
