i love the (ncaa) world, part ii


goin' nowhere, fool!

Dook finally got what was coming to them, and I'm so glad Florida State could do it to them again.
"It always hurts because we don't like to lose," Smith told FanHouse. How profound, Nolan; how profound.

Also, while I give Tyler Zeller a hell of a time, I'm quite pleased he can accomplish more in a game than both Plumlee playboys:
How It Was Lost: Terrible jumpshooting and the complete absence of an offensive threat on the post. Duke shot 35 3-pointers, or a ridiculous 57 percent of their total field goal attempts. But what choice did Duke have? FSU's defense bottled up Smith, who looked exactly like a scoring guard filling in for the point guard, rather than the team's point, and the Brothers Plumlee gave Duke no contribution in the paint. The two brothers combined to go 1-of-4 from the floor. With injured point guard Kyrie Irving on the floor, the two are more valuable, but will have to develop some level of back-to-the-basket competency if Irving doesn't return. [via]

While the ACC may not have any ranked teams (we'll overlook these assholes at No.1), we are certainly proving that we're a competitive conference that should have a lot of spots in the NCAA tournament.

For the Heel's sake, let's hope the Chokies live up to their name tonight. I'm pretty excited to see what Dexter and Malcolm Delaney (check the play at :39, ignore the music) do to each other. On the other hand, I'm fairly confident that Jeff Allen is going to manhandle Tyler and John. We're gonna need Justin Knox for that guy.
