Running 2010-11 BKC thread

Despite the usual servings of Dukie cheap-shot baiting and tricks. Too bad for ferret-face that Lavin's wise to that crap.

 

Seems amazing that St. John's had fucking Duke scheduled in the middle of the Big East schedule.

I'm reluctant to make a broad, sweeping conclusion from this result, since Duke is diminished without Irving, but, man, the ACC sure looks like shit compared to the Big East, no big revelation even before this game. Whatever you think of Lavin, it's great to see the Johnnies relevant again.

 

They do have one heck of an assistant coach.

 

They've been doing it for years. K loves the NY exposure.

 

And playing in front of all the alums.

 

The train wreck in Manhattan, Kan., continues. Wally Judge, the highest-proflie recruit Kansas State has had since Michael Beasley, is leaving the program, following in the footsteps of highly-touted transfer Freddy Asprilla.

From preseason top three and overwhelming Big 12 favorite to maybe not even qualifying for the NIT? I guess Jacob Pullen would at least play in the CBI.

 

Wasn't it just a month or so ago we had a thread about what an mad genius Frank Martin was and how all his players loved him and he got the most out of them?

 

It's not at all amazing. In fact, it's a routine better than a decade in the making.

The way the schedules work, there's usually spaces for two non-conference games after the league slate kicks fully into gear. Duke and St. John's have been playing this game annually - alternating between MSG and Cameron - for years.

St. John's was the last non-conference program to take Duke down in Durham - more than a decade ago.

 

You know, now that you mention it, I remember being in Penn Station at one point last winter or the previous winter and seeing tons of people in Duke jerseys walking through there, on their way upstairs.

 

Washington's Isaiah Thomas might just be the worst actor I've ever seen, if his "performance" against WAZZU on Sunday was any indication. Of course, the usual inept Pac-10 officials kept giving him the calls over and over. :
After the win, a couple of Cougs were talking about being able to run the table in the second half of the Pac-10 season. As much as I'd love for that to happen, I don't see it happening for WAZZU, or anyone else in the conference. Too many pretty decent-to-good teams to prevent that.

 

So it is Feb. 1 and not a single team on Duke's schedule -- nobody it has played or will play --is ranked in the current AP poll. I'm going to take a guess and say that hasn't happened since the the advent of the poll.

 

Have Savannah State and NJIT ever won on the same night before?
